Scotland scrumhalf Ben White to stay in France
By Ian Cameron
Scotland scrum-half Ben White has secured his future with Toulon by signing an extension that keeps him in the red and black until 2026.
The 25-year-old talent switched to Toulon from now-defunct Gallagher Premiership outfit London Irish last year. White is clearly enjoying life in the south of France. Arriving fresh from his World Cup duties with Scotland he wasted little time in committing his immediate future to the club.
"I extended for two seasons at Toulon because I feel really good here," said White on Toulon's website. "The coaches are great, the players and supporters are incredible. I think there is something to do here. When I signed I didn't just want to come and play for a year and leave. I wanted to get involved, discover the culture, the language and develop as a player. For me it was the right place for that. The most important thing is to help the team to win.
"I want to be in a club that has big ambitions and Toulon is the right place to win trophies and be at the best level. For me, it's a great challenge to take on. The way the group welcomed me m made me want to extend. I haven't been here for long but I like getting to know the people here and creating links with them. I'm going to give everything for this club over the next two years. They trusted me and I want to give back to them,” concluded White.
In international terms, White rapidly became a key player for Gregor Townsend's Scotland since making his debut in 2022 and has now surpassed seasoned players Ali Price and George Horne for the number nine jersey for Scotland.
White left Leicester Tigers at the end of the 2020/21 season, before putting pen to paper on a deal with the Exiles. White had made history at Tigers, when he became the youngest player in Leicester's Premiership history when he came off the bench against Harlequins in September 2016, aged just 17 years and 151 days.
He made 71 appearances in all competitions for the Welford Road club.

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB
WhatsApp +15617263697
Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
