Wasps re-sign Springbok for 2018/19 campaign

Nizaam Carr taking the ball into contact against Wales in the Autumn

Wasps today announced the re-signing of Nizaam Carr, who will rejoin the club on a permanent basis prior to the 2018/19 campaign.

The 27-year-old South African international No.8 spent three months at the Ricoh Arena earlier this season providing injury cover.

During that spell he put together a string of impressive performances in the Aviva Premiership and European Champions Cup, scoring four tries in 11 outings.

Since departing Coventry following the January home win over Ulster, the five-times-capped Springbok has returned to Super Rugby with the Cape Town-based Stormers for whom he has now appeared 96 times since making his debut in 2012.

He has also been a fixture in Western Province’s Currie Cup line-up for the last seven years.

Director of rugby Dai Young said:

“Nizaam made a massive impact during the time he was with us in the autumn.

“As a powerful ball-carrier with plenty of pace he proved to be a really good fit with our playing style.

“His close-quarter work also really stood out in a couple of games played in bad weather.

“He also immediately became very popular with the rest of the players and the fans while the staff and coaches found him excellent to work with.

“We are therefore really delighted that he is rejoining us on a permanent basis and look forward to seeing him become part of a very strong back-row group.”

Nizaam Carr said:

“After my brief stint at Wasps I really felt at home which is why I am so excited and motivated to be returning full-time to this incredible club.

“The fans, management and players made me feel really welcome and I am so looking forward to this next chapter in my rugby career.”

How France injected new life into women's rugby at Twickenham

One would think the next Womens RWC is the Roses to lose, they are a better balanced side than 4 years ago. That’s not to say they won’t; NZ will certainly be a contender, and lest we forget it was France who should have put NZ out of the final of the last cup, but for a sitter of a penalty missed.

How France injected new life into women's rugby at Twickenham

im not saying they were not good finishes but if you watch replays the tackling attempts were dreadful. If you look at the womens 6 nations generally a lot of tries are scored because the tackling in the womens game is not great at times.its an area that does need improvement from the womens teams.

Depoortere prolonge jusqu'en 2028 avec Bordeaux-Bègles

Several weeks ago, my life was irrevocably altered by a crypto romance scam a cruel amalgamation of emotional manipulation and financial exploitation. A person I believed to be my partner, whom I had met on a niche trading forum, gradually ensnared me into investing in a purportedly “groundbreaking” decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Over several months, they meticulously cultivated trust, shared fabricated returns, and even orchestrated video calls with supposed “developers” to lend credence to the scheme. By the time I discerned the truth, a staggering $215,000 of my life savings had evaporated into a labyrinth of blockchain addresses, and the individual I thought I knew had vanished without a trace. The betrayal was paralyzing; I felt not only financially devastated but emotionally shattered.As a small business owner, I am no stranger to risk, but this was a domain far beyond my comprehension. I promptly filed reports with the FTC, collaborated with cybersecurity experts, and spent countless sleepless nights poring over Etherscan, desperately attempting to trace the transactions. However, the scammers’ adept use of privacy coins and offshore exchanges rendered the trail elusive, dissipating like smoke. Each dead end deepened my despair and sense of helplessness.In the midst of this turmoil, I confided in a family friend about my harrowing ordeal.

Former Lions and England star lands World Cup gig with New Zealand

Bunting has been useless, so far. A 60% win rate, the manner in which the Ferns lost four tests last season, our team has plummeted sharply since RWC2021/22.


Adding Flutey does zero to fix the main issue; poor set piece, poor lineout, poor carry/cleans, poor tactics, defence optional . . .


For example. In 2 tests losses v ENG last year, the Roses backs scored 12 tries out of 13. The other try was a rolling maul. And they did this by dominating us up front, & blowing through our soft D.


But yeah, welcome Riki.

How France injected new life into women's rugby at Twickenham

Agree, we should not give too much meaning to only one game.

But for the “ poor tackling”, you should give more crédit to Joanna Grisez and Kelly Arbey. Poor tackling and good attack, it is the story of egg and chicken… I am not sure Kildunne is a far best defender than Sing. Joanna Grisez is a very good seven player, Arbey is only 19 but she is in the french seven team too. Séraphine Okemba was injuried for this game but ,if the french staff, had not the curious idea to field her in the back row, we should have seen much more tries .

'If he performs in this game, he's in the Lions'

The hype is a very English thing where every Johnny come lately is hailed as a messiah. He gets the headlines in easy matches, that’s the player he is now. But what has he done in big matches compared to all the other back row contenders? This Lions talk is ridiculous nonsense. It makes money for media, thats all. The danger man for Leinster to watch is Alex Mitchell. He was the man who won that big game in Pretoria for Northampton. He plays out of his skin and Northhampton can hurt Leinster. Pollock is relatively inconsequential outside English media and his Instagram account.

'If he performs in this game, he's in the Lions'

This season he has scored the second most tries in the champions cup, made the second most tackles, and recoreded the most turnovers. The hype has nothing to do with the player he might become in 4 years, its a pretty objective reaction to the player he is now.


Not sure why the try he scored last week matters.

How France injected new life into women's rugby at Twickenham

I understand your point-I would still say england were far ahead most of the game and were not behind at any stage(other than very early on in first 10mins). Similar to 2 years ago at twickenham. England have a habit of dominating then switching off and letting teams back in the game-do it regularly. Englands tackling at times was poor-you dont often see england miss so many 1 on 1 tackles. The tries outwide -Sing wont be in the team and kildunne is far quicker and macdonald had gone off so rowland had to go to wing -so the tries outwide explainable maybe? England will be more concerned about france smashing it up the middle,continually offloading and england unable to stop them. I agree england beatable-I think NZ will win WC again but equally I dont think you can read so much into 1 game.

How 'misunderstood' Rassie Erasmus is rolling back the clock

Owen Doyle did not form any part of the article until you mentioned his IT piece and began making claims about law-making intention. Based on one piece that makes statements for which I cannot find any support. And nor can you, apparently.


According to Doyle he had some backing for his proposal [‘half the room’] but it was denied in the letter of the law.


It appears Doyle’s half of the room did not weigh in the balance with those in power, so the discussion was resolved at that point into black and white. That’s normal.


The experiment has worked out well and nothing further needs to be done. A solution to 7-1 should come via coaching rather than a law change.


FYI, the statement


that there must be three specialist frontrow players on the bench, plus a secondrow, and a backrow player, hence five. The backs were allowed to cover the specialist positions of nine and ten. Finally, one utility back would be permitted, making up the three.”

is unenforceable. And ‘telling coaches who to pick among their replacements’ is exactly what it amounts to.


If a team wants to take a risk by playing a 7 who can play 12 from the bench, what law will stop them exactly?


Happy to clear up your misunderstandings.

The Champions' Cup - a paradise lost?

Firstly, the pool games need to be in a block of 4 weeks. At the moment, teams rest far too many of their stars and send weaker teams into Europe. The stars get 2 lots of 2 weeks off, but resting players for 4 consecutive weeks isn’t so easy.

Secondly, South African teams need to play a block of 2 home and 2 away games, or vice versa. Less travelling means that they can go with a full touring squad.

Thirdly, the Premiership have 8 out of 10 teams in the cup while France have 8 out of 14 and the URC 8 out of 16 (and 5 countries). A bit of tweaking there will help.

Sponsorship. If you want Heineken to sponsor the cup, play the finals in Amsterdam. They have the stadium and it’s worth a fortune to the tourist industry. Remember the World Cup in Japan with 2 quarter-finals in Oita? Headquarters of Canon, one of the main sponsors.

So many things could be done.

Saints dealt Champions Cup hammer blow with England star ruled out

He wasn’t right against Castres but I think he had to play that to have a chance of playing on Saturday. It didn’t work and he was holding the injured arm from an early stage. The plan migt have been the last 20 mins in the Castres match but he had to come on early as injury replacement.
