'He didn't look like he has been away at all, let alone two years'
By Liam Heagney
Last Sunday in Manchester wasn’t just a celebration of an opening round Gallagher Premiership win for Sale, there was also great elation that Josh Beaumont had stepped off the bench and successfully played his first rugby match in 15 months
The 30-year-old son of ex-England skipper Bill had last featured for the Sharks in June 2021, his left knee breaking down after a bit of bone chipped off to end his comeback following the recovery from his rupture of the patellar tendon on his right knee.
Thirteen matches were all he had managed to play since November 2019, but that adversity finally gave way last weekend to a second-half appearance as a sub for Matt Postlethwaite.
He doesn’t feature this Saturday at Bath, as England’s Jonny Hill is set for his Sale debut, but the memory of his appearance versus Northampton will surely now drive Beaumont on following his considerable layoff.
“We mentioned it on the field in the little huddle afterwards and he got a big cheer from the boys,” said Sale boss Sanderson about how the Beaumont comeback was received by his teammates.
“There was more elation for him coming back than the result, he is so highly regarded and well respected and much loved in this environment. It wasn’t just a win for Josh, it was a win for us all. I don’t know many people who could after two years out have the drive to get back. He managed the lineout, he was running lines. He didn’t look like he has been away at all, let alone two years. He has just gone up again in my estimation - and he was pretty high up anyway.”
It’s a comeback story that Sanderson hopes can inspire other players when they get injured and feel the road back is too long and too daunting. “We [rugby] are not the most dangerous sport, I have been told there are more dangerous sports out there which I won’t divulge because some sporting bodies will come after me, but injury is inevitable in any contact sport.
“And so it is how you persevere through injury, through adversity, which injury is. It not only grows you as a person but it shows the mark of you. He is a great example. Unless it is a chronic injury at some point your bad luck is going to end, it has got to end and you see this in many people’s careers and this has now happened with Josh in his career.
“Fortunately it has not come at the end of his career, he has still got a year, two years maybe three to have the best years of his career and that is down to his own perseverance. For anyone else who is injured, what is that song by Journey, don’t stop believing!”

The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech
As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality. Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience.

Go to commentsMy name is Paul few month ago after I lost my Solana to fraud, I was absolutely terrified. But Supreme Peregrine Recovery was amazing. Their staff was prompt in their response and offered knowledgeable direction over the entire recuperation process. They put a lot of effort into tracking down the money I misplaced, and they kept me informed at every stage. With their commitment and knowledge, I was able to get my Solana back. Thanks very much for their assistance.
