Freddie Burns has apologised for his showboating calamity on Twitter

Freddie Burns trudges off after Bath’s defeat to Toulouse

Freddie Burns apologised for a costly late gaffe in Bath’s 22-20 defeat to Toulouse which left him at an “ultimate low” and Exeter Chiefs were held by Munster in the European Champions Cup on Saturday.

A smiling Burns was already celebrating what would have been the winning try after bursting away at The Rec five minutes from time, but Maxime Medard flicked the ball out of his hand as he went to touch down far too casually.

The fly-half also missed a simple penalty after scoring a try and 10 points from the tee and was distraught after Toulouse held on for a Pool 1 victory.

Burns, who was hauled off after his botched try, tweeted: “Love this sport for the highs and the lows. Today was an ultimate low and a mistake I’ll learn from.

“I’ll continue to give my best as I always do. Lastly just apologies to the boys and the supporters for the mistake. I’ll bounce back… thanks for the support.”

Sofiane Guitoune claimed a double and Medard scored the opening five-pointer as four-time European champions Toulouse edged a tense encounter which they really should have lost.

It was honours even at a windy Sandy Park, where CJ Stander’s converted try 17 minutes from time earned a 10-10 Pool 2 draw for Munster.

Luke Cowan-Dickie scored the only try of a first half which ended with Exeter 10-3 up, but Stander crashed over from close range and Joey Carbery added the extras to deny the Premiership leaders.

Montpellier got off to a winning start in Pool 5, Edinburgh having two tries ruled out in a 21-15 victory for the Top 14 heavyweights.

Racing 92 edged out the Scarlets 14-13 and there was also a Pool 4 victory for Ulster, the Pro14 side seeing off Leicester Tigers 24-10.

I got a call from a trader for the first time in August 2024. Less than a year later, through a fabricated process of baiting me with unbelievable profits, and matching my losses, I was in over $185,000. The platform had assigned my personal broker to me, that called me from time to time to tell me about their new offers. And they said he was one of their top brokers, they further told me the broker had made a lot of people so rich. The broker told me there was an insurance that they get on them, every trade that we do that's secured and we could never lose money, he will put in there that it's an insured secure trade, and they buy the insurance for it. so i was assured, I won't lose any money on if we lose. Okay? But the catch is, you have to bring in an additional $25,000 in order to get that secured trade status on your account. I stupidly did this. Once I hit a certain profit level, I tried to remove money from them. That's when they denied me being able to take out my own money. They also told me to pay an additional fee to bring out my money. I was blocked out of my accounts and denied withdrawal even after i contacted them in various ways. Of course they never told me that additional of $25k from the beginning. So when I heard that, then it was pretty obvious to me that they were running a scam.I was very sad and confused after investing a lot. Earlier this year February 15th 2025, i was able to get my invested capital back including profit and the $25k additional fees with the help of the INTELLIGENCE CYBER WIZARD Assets Recovery (You can contact them below).
