Cudmore to be clubless by end of season - reports

Canadian icon Jamie Cudmore could be left searching for a club at the end of the season according to reports coming out of France.

According to Midi Olympique, the president of Aix-en-Provence, Denis Philippon, announced which players and staff are to be kept next season, and the Canadian international is not among them.

Cumdmore (40) arrived at the club last summer as a general manager, after the club had successfully returned to the Pro D2 from the third tier of French rugby.

According to Midi, current Aix-en-Provence backs coach Fabien Cibray is set to become head coach, with former Ireland international James Coughlan – who is currently at Pau – set to join as an assistant coach.

Cudmore is currently taking former club Clermont Auvergne to task in court relating to the apparent avoidable risk he was placed in the 2015 Heineken Cup final after he was sustained a concussion in the preceding semi-final.

The 6’5, 118kg former lock went back onto pitch to replace a teammate in the semi-final despite failing a Head Injury Assessment (HIA) earlier in the game. Cudmore – who had been concussed several times during his career – had suffered severe concussion symptoms following the incident.

Cudmore spoke of his experience with concussion in the RugbyPass documentary – Beyond 80: Knocked, which you can watch below.

'He isn't playing well': Former All Blacks question Scott Barrett's form

Exactly. Finau is a part of the Chiefs’ bomb squad that has turned multiple games around in their favour. He definitely has the goods. Just needs to improve his discipline, which he has been doing so far this year, unlike last year.

I’m a huge fan of Pollock. The hype is real. Apart from this hype, which is extremely silly.


He’s a long way off being a Lions test starter.

Ulster go down fighting in Champions Cup defeat to Bordeaux

I can rewire a human brain, course through the most sensitive neural pathways, and restore life with steady hands and a sharp scalpel. But it would appear none of those prepared me for the horror of a hardware wallet that had decided it wanted to self-destruct. It had been years since my Ledger device had sat comfortably in my drawer, unvexed and pristine, like a relic from my earlier Bitcoin investment days. Then came the fateful evening when I decided to switch it on just to check on my stash. That is when I was greeted by an error message so incomprehensible that it could as well have been written in ancient hieroglyphics. At first, I kept calm. I had been in life-and-death situations before, so surely, I could troubleshoot a problem with my wallet. Rebooting? Nothing. Firmware reset? Even worse. With every attempt, my precious $680,000 worth of Bitcoin seemed to slip further from my grasp. The real panic set in when I realized that I had stored my recovery phrase somewhere "safe"-so safe that even I couldn't remember where it was. Hours of frantic searching, multiple YouTube tutorials, and a last-ditch effort to reach out to Ledger support resulted in one grim conclusion: "Your funds may be irretrievable." As a neurosurgeon, I’m used to bad news—but this? Unacceptable. That is when I discovered TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. A little skeptical I was- if they couldn't help me, a manufacturer of the device, then how would anyone else? I had nothing to lose. The moment I reached out to them, I knew I had done the right thing: I was professional, transparent, and confident that they could recover my lost Bitcoin. They performed some kind of digital wallet emergency surgery, getting everything back in six days. Through what can only be described as magic, by way of forensic techniques, they bypassed corruption and extracted my private keys and every Satoshi, to boot. If it stopped there, that would've been great; then they walked me through how to properly secure my assets going forward more "too safe to find" backups. I may be the expert in the operating room, but when it comes to resuscitating a dead crypto wallet, TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY is your team on call. Cold storage has failed; don't try to self-operate, just get the pros in before your Bitcoin flatlines.

'He isn't playing well': Former All Blacks question Scott Barrett's form

There was a crazy stat in last years Rugby Championship - players being tackled by 3 players at one time, Ardie topped the count with ~3x more than the next player.


I would be very worried if Razor is using Ardie to do grunt work, what an absolute waste…Breakdown team hit the nail on the head around Ardie floating in the wider channels and how dangerous that could be for the opposition.

Geoff Parling: An Englishman roasting the Lions?

Thanks Nick. Sounds like he’s enjoying the role. Is he contracted till 27? Sorry if you already wrote that in the article.


Swain and Williams are looking good but Frost and Skelton does appeal. From what Parling says Skelton might be brought home fle the Lions.

Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

Online trading can be risky, even for the most cautious investors. A few months ago, I bought a DAO token with 540 SOL after thorough research. The token had a good community and appeared secure, but a few hours later, it dropped to zero, and I lost everything.

I didn't give up and searched for ways to recover my stolen crypto, finding Crypto Pandemic Hunter page. I contacted them and received a quick response. They investigated my case and used advanced software to trace the stolen funds. Within four days, I got my SOL back, and others did too. I'm grateful for their service and urge fraud victims to reach out to cryptopandemichunter@consultant.com.

Thanks. In metres gained that is what people tend to overly focus on. But I think Scott Barrett is playing well. for the Crusaders. The form lock in the country is Antonio Shalfoon , his Crusaders team mate.That takes the pressure off.

Thanks Nick. He’s always seemed a decent bloke. Our lineout struggled for a while under his stewardship and the Rebels were never great but it feels like we won’t be beaten at set piece in July so the coaches are doing a lot right.

It is chicken and egg, but ensuring the island nations can play top tier teams or be part of a competition like the rugby championship would be a massive step towards retaining talent so that they mprove.

Yes they have to start somewhere. If they really want the PI’s to be competitive they have to back them to the hilt.

You seem to think that because they were developed in NZ they owe the country something. They don’t. They are entitled to represent other nations through parentage, grand parentage or place of birth - just like Sotutu!
