Billy Vunipola on the verge of a return after arm break

Great article and plenty of valid points.

The Boks have another RWC and a SR title during this length of time so it’s not hurting their national game. Still seems to be how they judge success.

Their teams had been going well in the URC but tapered off a bit recently. The Bulls don’t really seem to have recovered from bombing that home final to Glasgow.

Obviously their teams are non-starters in the Euro comps which is sad. Just seems unworkable to have an non-European team compete regularly in Europe.

Although, Australia had a crack at one of the recent Eurovision song contests and I think they did well enough. It can be done.

When I was offered a chance to appear on a popular crypto podcast, I was excited. It seemed like a golden opportunity to gain exposure, connect with industry professionals, and build credibility within the crypto community. The podcast appeared legitimate, complete with a sleek website, professional branding, glowing testimonials, and an active social media presence.After a few exchanges with the supposed host, I was asked to pay $9,500 to secure my spot on the show. Trusting the apparent professionalism of the platform, I went ahead with the payment. I envisioned the new doors this would open—partnerships, recognition, and new opportunities. But everything changed once the payment was made.Suddenly, all communication stopped. My emails and messages went unanswered. The podcast’s website vanished, and so did their social media presence. That’s when reality hit—I had been scammed.I was devastated. Angry, embarrassed, and desperate to find a solution, I began searching for help. That’s when I discovered PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. At first, I was skeptical, but with nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out.To my surprise, their team responded quickly and took my case seriously. Using advanced investigative tools and digital tracking techniques, they began tracing the scammer’s digital footprint. I watched as they worked tirelessly, putting the pieces together.Amazingly, PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY was able to recover 95% of my lost funds. The relief I felt was indescribable. Not only did I get back most of what I lost, but I also walked away with a hard-earned lesson about the importance of due diligence and caution in the digital world.While I wish I had never fallen into the trap, I’m incredibly thankful for the support and professionalism of PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. They didn’t just recover my money—they helped restore my peace of mind. I’m sharing my story in hopes that it helps others avoid the same mistake and encourages them to stay vigilant in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.

'No one in the world has seen': Black Ferns foreshadow World Cup strategy

I hope this new innovative game plan involves kicking the ball out of their own 22.

Once in a while I would prefer to see the BFs actually play the percentages and kick down town.

Its all very nice putting together 2-6 phases inside your own red zone but it’s all undone by a knock on, or forward pass, something the top sides are happy to wait for.

Ulster boss Richie Murphy levels accusation at Leinster after heavy loss

Joe 28 minutes ago

As usual Duck , your response is both factually incorrect and full of your own ill founded assertions and self importance.

In your earlier post you stated that Leinster had approached TB with a view to returning - now that I have shown this to be false, you have altered your position

asserting that he was not prepared to return to Leinster . How do you know this ?

You Don’t - but like all your posts you attempt to imply your opinion as fact !

You stated that I said TB left Leinster of his own volition - that is just an outright

Lie ! I in fact said that Leinster had released him .

For once try and get your facts right , but then facts and the truth might actually

upset your diatribe !

Why ex-All Black believes James O’Connor deserves Wallabies recall

Sexton was 38 at the last world cup, I know he was a better #10 that JOC ever was, but surely 34 isn't really that old?! I guess as JOC debuted as a 17 year old, it just feels like he's just been around forever… there wouldn't be many people on the planet who can say they've played professional rugby for more than half their lives, pretty amazing longevity really.

In 2024, I received a substantial tax refund, which I saw as a golden opportunity to improve my financial situation. Eager to invest, I became interested in Bitcoin, a digital currency that many believe represents the future of finance. Unfortunately, my excitement led me to a fraudulent company that promised incredible returns on investments. Their persuasive tactics and seemingly legitimate operations drew me in, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that I had been deceived, and my hard-earned money $572,000 had vanished.Feeling devastated and hopeless after losing such a significant amount, I reached out to a friend who had faced a similar ordeal. They recommended a company called GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , which specializes in recovering lost Bitcoin. Although I was skeptical, my desperation pushed me to contact them for help.From the very first interaction with GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , I was impressed by their understanding and willingness to help. Their team guided me through the recovery process, providing the support I needed during this challenging time. They explained each step clearly and kept me informed throughout the entire journey. Their dedication rekindled my hope of recovering my lost funds.Thanks to the diligent efforts of GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , I was able to reclaim my stolen Bitcoin. This experience not only restored my financial situation but also taught me invaluable lessons about the importance of conducting thorough research before making any investments. I now have a solid investment strategy in place and am much more cautious about where I allocate my funds.I want to emphasize the importance of being vigilant in the world of cryptocurrency. While Bitcoin offers tremendous potential as an investment, it also attracts scammers looking to exploit unsuspecting individuals. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I strongly encourage you to seek help from a trustworthy recovery service like GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES .Investing in Bitcoin can be a rewarding venture, but it is crucial to approach it with caution. Always perform comprehensive research and remain skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true,but if fallen victim to scam a GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES is available for you.You can reach them on whatsapp +18582759508, web at ( https://graywaretechservices.com/ ) also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservices.com)

Pundits' four All Black picks for Razor's squad to face France

It’s not looking good for Pero, he is becoming the blackadder of the backs, struggling to get fully fit for the end of last year and again now apparently.

Love’s still got a lot to do yet to prove he could skin England’s best player to setup a win for ABs, sky’s the limit as a 10 for him though I reckon.

Poorly researched piece that fails to take into account the critical point that it wasn’t possible for SA sides to earn a home ko fixture in the Champions Cup initially, as a result of the entry agreements. The format compounded this with ko rounds over sequential weeks, leaving the Bok teams scrambling logistically at incredibly short notice, but that will hopefully change pretty soon. So overall, the EPCR was stacked against them and as a result, was always going to be a slow burn for bok teams.

As for the URC, they’ve contested the last three finals and won one of them. Not too shabby at all from a standing start!

The way Jones is tapping into the energy and discipline of these student-athletes reminds me of how crucial support systems are, both on and off the field. Here’s hoping this new generation brings even more historic moments for the Brave Blossoms!

No, they can’t. The finals have to be in the EU right?

If home playoff fixtures were secured, it becomes an advantage.

He’s playing pretty good, has some good experience on him, and playing out of position his stats are pretty much identical to Chay Fihaki’s. I don’t have kicking meters though, and maybe Fihaki also looks more like a midfielder than wing, if he could turn around his defence (pretty much the worst tackle% of any winger I look at).

necessitated by the fact that he handed almost no new caps in the previous 4 seasons

Not sure that's true. Looking at the Wikipedia entry for capped Springbok players, 10 were capped in 2024, while 12 were capped in 2022.

Admittedly, only 6 in 2021 and 2 in 2023, but those were B&I Lions tour and RWC years, respectively, when the focus was on winning big tournaments rather than expanding squad depth.

As for the quality of new caps, 2024 saw some promising talent being unearthed. Bit disingenuous to say that none of the new players are likely to become regular starters.

Instead of replying to your other comment individually, let me do it here.

Much of the evidence is that the next generation of players aren’t very good, but even if they are, they haven’t been introduced to the test arena in time to rack up the necessary experience for 2027

Too late to introduce new talent? In 2024? 3 and a half seasons out from the next WC? Laughable, mate. Im starting to think you might be BS’s alt account.

School Rugby in SA is extremely strong. There are at least 15-20 schools playing at the top level in at least 6 provinces and the remaining 3 provinces have multiple schools playing at the top level as well. There is a ranking system, Hierarchy, multiple festivals each year, interprovincial school rugby is prevalent, the craven week is one if not the oldest youth development rugby week in world rugby and provincial age group rugby is prevalent right from U13 level. It is one of the most robust schoolboy rugby production systems in the world that hoovers up the top athletes in the country. Add to that the Varsity cup and shield at tertiary level, the club system, SA U20 provincial champs, Currie cup, and other domestic comps and you have a multitiered development system that is on par with the rest. So no it has nothing to do with inequality or one singular school. Success in SA rugby comes from the whole

Great article. Rassie is an incredible coach - and he has a great backroom staff behind him - but it isn’t possible to squeeze water from a stone.

He won back to back world cups with a pretty much unchanged group of players. He won’t be able to do that again. Much of the evidence is that the next generation of players aren’t very good, but even if they are, they haven’t been introduced to the test arena in time to rack up the necessary experience for 2027.

I wonder how much that has to do with South Africa being the most unequal country on earth?

the success of one singular school has very little to do with the success of a nation!
