Meakes was cited by the SANZAAR Foul Play Review Committee for his second half tackle on Sunwolves centre Jason Emery.

The Wallaby hopeful wasn’t penalised for the 66th minute tackle at the time.

Meakes is alleged to have contravened Law 9.13: “A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously.”

The hearing will be held by video conference with De Wet Barry, Chris Smith and a yet to be confirmed chairperson making up the judicial committee.

Despite the Croke Park horror show, Marcus Smith shouldn't be discounted from Lions conversation

He is this season. He was in the Top 14 Team of the Season so Far which was named in January. He’s playing 80 minutes regularly, he’s hitting as hard as ever and his team are doing very well.

Yes…. purely from the viewpoint that every tour has a tour captain. They don’t need to then be test captain (see O Mahony 2017) but every tour has a named captain.

Ex-Queenslander Greene stuns Mo'unga, orchestrates collossal League One takedown

Investing €40,000 in cryptocurrency through Get Forex com seemed like a smart move until I tried to withdraw my funds At the time, cryptocurrency seemed like a golden opportunity to secure my financial future I had heard countless success stories of people making substantial profits in the market Confident in my decision, I invested, believing that I was making a well-informed choice But little did I know, this decision would lead me into a nightmare that would take months to unravel. For two agonizing months, my money was locked away. Every attempt to recover it was met with delays, excuses, and even demands for more money to "release" my withdrawal Each day felt like an emotional rollercoaster I would contact customer support, hoping for a resolution, only to receive vague responses or worse no response at all It soon became clear that I had fallen victim to a scam The platform had no intention of returning my funds I was devastated, confused, and feeling helpless. As the weeks dragged on, I tried everything I contacted customer support multiple times, but their responses were always vague and unhelpful I followed their unclear instructions, hoping that it would finally lead to my money being released I even researched legal options and consulted with professionals, but no matter what I did, I was unable to make any progress It was as if the scammers were one step ahead at all times My frustration grew, and the thought that I might never see my €40,000 again weighed heavily on me. Just when I thought my money was gone forever, a friend who had experienced something similar recommended Tech Cyber Force Recovery. At that point, I was skeptical but also desperate. I had tried everything, and nothing had worked. What did I have to lose? I decided to give them a chance, though I had serious doubts about whether they could help me recover my funds. To my amazement, Tech Cyber Force Recovery acted swiftly and professionally, Their team launched a thorough investigation, keeping me updated at every step of the process They communicated transparently and regularly, making sure I was never left in the dark Within just five days, they successfully recovered my full €40,000 I couldn’t believe it after months of frustration, what had seemed impossible became reality The relief I felt was indescribable I could finally breathe again.

Scotland left stunned as Italy earn first win of Six Nations campaign

A few weeks ago, I came across a YouTube ad that stopped me in my tracks. It looked like a live broadcast of Elon Musk announcing Tesla’s “exclusive crypto project.” The production was flawless, professional, convincing, and eerily realistic. His voice, expressions, mannerisms everything matched what you’d expect from a real Tesla livestream.The ad promised massive returns if you “joined the project” by sending Bitcoin to a wallet address. I was skeptical at first, but the countdown timer, skyrocketing charts, and Elon’s confident pitch chipped away at my doubt. Eventually, I gave in. I sent $8,000 worth of BTC, thinking I was getting in early on a groundbreaking initiative.But just a few hours later, something didn’t sit right. I checked Tesla’s official channels. No mention of any crypto project. My stomach dropped.I rushed to a blockchain explorer and looked up the wallet address I’d sent the funds to. What I saw confirmed my worst fears: my BTC was being split and moved rapidly across multiple wallets in a process known as “smurfing,” a common money laundering technique. I had been scammed.In desperation, I searched for help and came acrossCHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERYa blockchain forensics firm. Honestly, I didn’t expect much but I reached out anyway. To my surprise, they responded quickly and took my case seriously. Their team began tracking the funds in real time, tracing the flow of my BTC through a web of wallets.Incredibly, they managed to link the stolen funds to a wallet connected to an account on Finance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges.They didn’t waste a second. Within 48 hours, CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERYhad coordinated with Binance’s security team, who were able to freeze the scammer’s account before the funds could be withdrawn or laundered further.A few days later, the impossible happened the full $8,000 was returned to me.Even now, I can hardly believe it. I went from being scammed by a deepfake crypto con to getting every dollar back, all thanks to the quick action and expertise of CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY.If you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, don’t give up. Get help immediately. Time is critical, and with CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY,recovery is possible.

Typical. Just let the oke celebrate. What has got all you fans’ knickers in a knot? Really? Of the NhS win, this is what you take from it? Let him celebrate how he wants. If he wants to be ecstatic he will be.

If his team feel it's OTT then they will keep him in check.

You guys stop moaning, just let him do his thing

Super Rugby Pacific performers of the week round nine

So worthy Crusaders hooker Ioane Moananu picked. That try he scored against the Hurricanes was soooooo good. He was dynamite around the field. He does his core roles very well. Our line out was a 100%. Having Cullen Grace back helped. He is one of the best.Fullback and captain, ( when Havili went off), Will Jordan was worthy to be in this group.

Yes, because ‘versatility’ has always served NZ well in the past, messing playing about out of position.


As for Sevu Reece. Always looks a million dollars are Super level, but it never carries over to internationals when against the top teams. Some players have their level, his is Super, no more.
