Saracens' record breaking tackler Reffell earns senior squad contract

Saracens have rewarded he club's record-breaking tackle count holder Sean Reffell with a senior squad contract. The 21-year-old has signed a new deal to keep him in north London until 2022 and he will also make the step up from the Senior Academy to the first-team squad.
Reffell made Saracens history in February 2019. The then academy flanker made a massive 39 tackles for the first team in the Premiership Rugby Cup semi-final win at Worcester Warriors, overtaking club legend Jacque Burger’s previous total (34).
“I think this is the best place to develop as a player,” the forward told Saracens.com.
Capped by England at Under-18 and Under-20 level, Reffell is another exciting product of the Academy who has shown great potential in his 19 appearances for Sarries to date.
Reffell has gained important experience this season, most notably making his first two Champions Cup appearances and starting in Premiership fixtures against Leicester Tigers and Wasps.
His performances in this season’s Premiership Rugby Cup saw him shortlisted for the breakthrough player award as Sarries reached the semi-final stage.
And Reffell insists he is looking forward to making progress at the club, who he believes boast the best possible environment for development.
“I’ve been here since the start of my career,” said Reffell. “Instantly as soon as I was offered a contract I was very pleased.
“I think this is the best place to develop as a player. The coaches are always on hand trying to mould you into a Saracens player and are always there to help you.
“It’s a great opportunity for us as a team to come together next year. Everyone wants to help each other and I want to be a part of a team in the future that does that.”
Director of Rugby Mark McCall said: “We’re delighted Sean has extended his time at the club.
“He has worked very hard to improve his game, and his performances when given the opportunity to play in the Premiership were hugely encouraging.
“We are excited to be able to help him continue to grow and make a real impact for Saracens.”

It's a fact: Reddit has always been, is, and will be my source for crypto discussions, security tips, and market trends. Little did I know it would be the same site that helped save me from financial ruin. Some months ago, an AMA thread about Trust Geeks Hack Expert showed up. People asked them anything: from lost wallet recoveries to phishing scams; their answers sounded really detailed, transparent, and full of insight. At the time, I didn't know that their help was near. It all started with what I thought was a routine software update. I had received an e-mail from what looked like a trusted exchange, telling me to install an important patch. The email looked *legit—*matching the branding, formatting, and even the usual tone of messages I had received before. Without a second thought, I downloaded the update and installed it. Biggest mistake of my life. It froze within minutes, and then it automatically restarted. My crypto wallet was empty when I regained access. $200,000-gone. At first, I thought it was some kind of glitch, but as I dug deeper, the cold reality hit me hard: I had been hacked. The "update" was a form of malware designed to drain wallets by injecting malicious code. Panic set in, but rather than spiral, I remembered the Trust Geeks Hack Expert AMA. Their confidence in handling cases like mine had stood out to me. I rushed back to the thread, found their contact details Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- Email: trustgeekshackexpert{@}fastservice{.}com, and reached out immediately. Their response was prompt and very reassuring. They asked for every little detail I could remember-from the time of the installation of the fake update to the exact nature of the transactions I had done prior to this. They got to work, tracing the movement of my stolen funds using some advanced blockchain forensics.
Days went by, and I had my doubts, but they kept me updated. Then came a message that I was praying for; they had recovered my $200,000. It sounded like a dream come true. All stress, regret, and anger vanished at that moment. Trust Geeks Hack Expert saved not only my funds but also taught me a lesson which will never be forgotten: never trust email links. Now, I double-check every update; use cold storage for large amounts; don't click on anything that's remotely suspicious. If not for that Reddit AMA, I would have never found the only team skilled enough to turn my disaster into a comeback story.

And if you add player development plans (eg experience of positions, playing conditions, game plans, opponents playing styles etc) it becomes harder. Additionally, consistency of selection helps with making adjustments to systems and tactics, so that further constrains your options. Travel challenges don’t make it easier.
Jake White has effectively decided that he would rather have a chance of success in one competition, at the expense of the other competition, than a near certainty of heroic failure in both. And he has implied that over time he plans to build enough depth to give the Bulls a chance in both the URC and Champions Cup simultaneously.
Not sure what is being proposed here that is supposedly a better plan.
