Leicester Tigers derby atmosphere blows away AFL coach
By PA
Leicester head coach Michael Cheika felt his players thrived in the intense atmosphere of his first East Midlands derby as the Tigers beat Northampton 24-8 at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.
Leicester have now won three of their four games in the Gallagher Premiership under Cheika, who was back in the stands after being suspended for their victory at Newcastle last week.
A raucous home crowd was fired up by a fourth-minute try from Freddie Steward as well as some determined defence as champions Northampton were thwarted in attack time and again.
Cheika said: “I actually have the coach of (Australian rules football team) Richmond AFL here visiting.
“It’s his first game of rugby live and he said to me after the game, ‘What about the atmosphere?’
“It was amazing, what was happening around the intensity that it builds and I think we really wanted to try and get our crowd involved early.
“Scoring the try early on helped us to get our crowd in the game, that’s a weapon for you at home and you should use it.
“I don’t think we used it well enough against Bath in the first (home) game, but now I suppose we’re acclimatising to some new things and we’re able to get the crowd in the game more.
“I feel like the defence is a good base for us, that will stop you from losing games, you can stay in matches like that and that’s a good foundation to have.”
Leicester scored the only try of the first half through Steward as they led 10-3 at the break, with Handre Pollard and Fin Smith kicking penalties.
The hosts then powered clear in the second half with tries from Olly Cracknell and Ollie Chessum before Tommy Freeman ran in a last-minute consolation for Northampton.
Northampton director of rugby Phil Dowson said: “We were frustrated by a very good Leicester defence and we didn’t manage to convert the pressure that we did create.
“We didn’t get the ball over the line twice and then three times held up, so that was frustrating.
“(You can put that down to) very good defence and potentially us not being quite on our game in terms of our attack and that’s sometimes the way that it rolls.
“We have to be better in those spaces and we’ll go away and look at that and make sure we are better at converting pressure into points.
“I don’t know if (the England training camp) was a factor that was the differential between winning and losing.
“It was obviously a disrupted week, but it was disrupted for other clubs as well. We knew it was going to be disrupted, we planned for that and we tried to make the best of it.”

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum. They restored our faith in the power of ethical innovation.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech
