Two changes for Ireland but Sam Prendergast retained at No10

Simon Easterby has made two changes to his Ireland team to play Scotland on Sunday. The double Guinness Six Nations champions began their quest for an historic hat-trick of titles with a 27-22 win over England last Saturday that was far more comfortable than the scoreline suggested.
A trip to Edinburgh is next hurdle for them to clear and the interim head coach has changed one of his starting backs and one forward. Robbie Henshaw, who played off the bench versus the English, will now start at outside centre with Garry Ringrose dropping to the subs.
Up front, 2024's title-winning skipper Peter O’Mahony has been recalled to the team to start at blindside. His inclusion sees Ryan Baird drop to the bench and Iain Henderson miss out.
There was plenty of debate regarding the out-half position following round one as Jack Crowley impressed in the second half off the bench. However, Sam Prendergast has again been preferred as the starting No10.
Easterby said in an IRFU statement: “Sunday’s game presents a significant challenge against a Scotland side that had a very good Autumn Nations Series and have started the Six Nations with a positive bonus point win over Italy. We have taken confidence from the win over England this week and there are undoubtedly areas for improvement.
“Selection was a real challenge again which reinforces the competition for places. As we approach round two, it’s about improvement and building momentum. We know that we will need to start the game strongly and meet their physical challenge.”

The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech
As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality. Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience. If you ever find yourself in a situation like mine, I encourage you to trust HACK SAVVY TECH they truly know how to help.

Go to commentsMy name is Paul few month ago after I lost my Solana to fraud, I was absolutely terrified. But Supreme Peregrine Recovery was amazing. Their staff was prompt in their response and offered knowledgeable direction over the entire recuperation process. They put a lot of effort into tracking down the money I misplaced, and they kept me informed at every stage. With their commitment and knowledge, I was able to get my Solana back. Thanks very much for their assistance.
