Melbourne Rebels star Reece Hodge has been handed a one-week suspension by SANZAAR after he was sent from the field in his side’s Super Rugby Pacific loss to the Force on the weekend.

Hodge was brandished two yellow cards, one for cynical play and the other for a deliberate knock down, in the second half of the Rebels’ 28-3 defeat in Melbourne on Saturday, with the second culminating in a red card.

Upon review of Hodge’s dismissal, the SANZAAR found the 54-test Wallabies utility back guilty of his indiscretions and have banned him from playing in this week’s match between the Rebels and Fijian Drua on the Sunshine Coast.

The verdict leaves the Rebels without one of their most experienced squad members as they continue their search for their first win of the new season.

The Rebels will continue to do so without many of their Wallabies, with 2021 World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year nominee Andrew Kellaway (foot), Rob Leota (hamstring) and Pone Fa’amausili (calf) all sidelined with injury.

Hopes remain high, however, that Kellaway will feature this weekend, which could prove helpful given his versatility as both a wing and fullback.

Others who remain unavailable due to injury include loose forward Josh Kemeny and lock Trevor Hosea, while Wallabies hooker Jordan Uelese and wing Lachie Anderson are in a race against time to prove their fitness for the match against the Drua.

That fixture on Friday, which has been relocated from Brisbane due to flooding at Suncorp Stadium, stands as a bottom-of-the-table clash, with both team occupying 11th and 12th spots, respectively.

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
