Ollie Lawrence has apologised for his role in an incident that led to his England team-mate Alex Mitchell being sin binned in Bath’s defeat at Northampton on Sunday.

Lawrence and Mitchell clashed heads when the Saints scrum-half was making a tackle late in the encounter at Franklin’s Gardens, which was edged 35-34 by the home side.

Bath centre Lawrence crumbled to the ground and after reviewing the collision, referee Anthony Woodthorpe showed Mitchell a yellow card. Lawrence then appeared to smile at the decision.

Following accusations that he had over-reacted to the clash of heads, Lawrence used his X account to express his remorse.

“Wasn’t to be today… Credit to Saints 👏. Big shift from the boys second half. We’ll take the 2 & move on…” he said.

“Ps – Apologies if my actions today offended anyone. On review, I understand the frustration voiced! I’ll be better 🫶”

Johann van Graan hailed Bath’s narrow loss to Northampton at Franklin’s Gardens as a showcase for the Gallagher Premiership.

Despite trailing 19-0, Bath scored five tries to Northampton’s four, with Joe Cokanasiga crossing twice and Orlando Bailey, Will Stuart, and Max Ojomoh also scoring.

Finn Russell added three conversions and a penalty. Northampton secured victory with a last-minute Fin Smith penalty, alongside tries from George Hendy, Fraser Dingwall, James Ramm, and Josh Kemeny. Bath earned two points, extending their lead at the top of the table to six points.

“It was a phenomenal game and certainly an emotional roller-coaster, but we’ll just have to take our two points and move on,” Bath director of rugby Johann van Graan said.

“Saints had so much speed and accuracy early on and converted well in that opening 20 minutes. but then our power got us back into the game.

“The guys are obviously gutted as they fought so hard, but we showed we are tough to beat and if we go anywhere in the world we’ll fight all the way,” said van Graan.

TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
