After completing the double gold in Los Angeles last week, the Black Ferns Sevens and All Blacks Sevens have got off to a hot start in Vancouver by sweeping every opponent on day one.

The Black Ferns Sevens, chasing their fourth straight series win, cruised through pool play by opening with a 60-0 win over Columbia.

Black Ferns star Michaela Blyde bagged a hat-trick in the first half with young Jazmin Felix-Hotham grabbing a double in the second.

World Cup-winner Stacey Waaka scored two in the 43-7 win over Great Britain in the second pool game.

The Ferns completed a pool stage sweep with a 24-7 win over Fiji to book a spot in the quarter-finals against hosts Canada on day two.

The All Blacks Sevens, who are looking for three straight series wins after back-to-back golds in LA and Sydney, started with a comprehensive 52-0 drubbing of the United States.

Leroy Carter scored a hat-trick while Ngarohi McGarvey-Black grabbed a double as the All Blacks put up four tries in each half.

The Kiwis were then made to work hard against Spain with a 17-7 win.

Spain opened the scoring and kept the All Blacks Sevens scoreless in the first half but a double by Moses Leo in the second half took the lead before a late try to star Akuila
Rokolisoa sealed the win.

The All Blacks Sevens have their last pool game against Samoa early on day two and must avoid a 26-point defeat to qualify for the quarter-final.

France's Peato Mauvaka cited for yellow-carded Ben White incident

Not sure about White. It’s possible but Townsend has come out and said there was head contact, which is not his style unless he is pretty confident in his position. He’s not known for ranting to the media. Either way the intent was very clear and the laws are too.

And yes, your point on the bunker is well made. There is absolutely no excuse for their inconsistency regarding clear cut cases.

Yes, that is true. White did milk it - which is bad look for rugby. Pretty sure France would still have won that game comfortably, but it’s frustrating when there is so much inconsistency in the officiating. For instance Pieter-Steph du Toit got rightfully red carded against France in 2022 for an accidental head butt, but Mauvaka, who showed intent, gets a yellow.

I Lost $213,000 Worth of ARB Tokens After Falling victim to an Address-Poisoning Scam

My name is Patrick Cox, and my ARB tokens worth $213,000 were wiped out in a single transaction by an Address-Poisoning Scam, and this is how I was able to recover it.

I have been into crypto for over 9 years and I have never been reckless or naive when it deals with crypto, however, I was caught off guard by an address-poisoning scam while I was trying to make a single transaction to my other wallet and it took the services of Morphohack Cyber Service to be able to recover it successfully.

Morphohack was able to detect the scammer had distributed the stolen ARB tokens into smaller wallets, but it took Morphohack just 72 hours to fully recover every single one of the stolen tokens successfully. This just shows the rise of address spoofing and poisoning that has continued to exploit traders' negligence during transactions. I highly urge everyone to be more cautious and avoid falling victim to such scams and if you do need the service of Morphohack, you can easily reach them via the following:E-mail: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES.COM WhatsApp: +1 (213) 672 4092

Plummer relegated for fellow All Black, Sotutu returns for Blues

Most of the regular journalists seem to be southern so they chuck a good few into the northern section to pad it out and make it look like they’re publishing all these articles each day, I also have mind set to northern and get the exact same issue

You are probably right, but it is the problem with the bunker. Referee don't want to take any responsability. So this case had been treated by Ref, TMO , bunker and now an “ independent commission “ . What will be next level ? I C C ?

And White is an actor….

'France may leave top players at home but will still be serious contenders in New Zealand'

Probably will leave all tolouse, bordeaux/toulon players at home depending on who get to final.

could look something like

1. Reda Wardi

2. Maxine Lamothe

3. Georges Henri Colombe

13. Emillien Gailleton

Could George Ford have 'bolted' his way into Lions contention?

Ford wasn’t set to go with the Lions in 2013 - he didn’t even make his England debut until the 2014 6 nations. And while there are instances of players being picked for the Lions before they were capped by their nation, he wasn’t in the conversation.

DM, use the link to change from Southern Edition to Northern Edition and you will see that it focuses on Northern Hemisphere. Simple.

Southern Edition is for Southern Hemisphere rugger, as it makes reference to.

I’m talking about the ref. He could have issued a straight red with no need for TMO intervention. It was an obvious red. He looked at it a few times and then gave a yellow and referral. Passed the buck. Pivotal time of the game as well so France got lucky with the call.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

I can’t thank CYBERPUNK PROGRAMMERS enough for their incredible work in recovering my hard-earned $520,000 in crypto. When scammers hacked into my account and stole everything, I was absolutely devastated—it felt like my world was crumbling. I’d worked so hard for that money, and in an instant, it was gone. After searching desperately for a solution, I stumbled upon CYBERPUNK PROGRAMMERS. Their stellar reputation for retrieving stolen crypto gave me a faint glimmer of hope in an otherwise hopeless situation.

From the very first contact, their team was nothing short of amazing. They were professional, empathetic, and took the time to explain the recovery process in a way I could understand. I never felt left in the dark—they kept me updated at every step, which made all the difference during such a stressful time. Their skilled programmers worked tirelessly, tracking down the scammers and piecing together the trail of my stolen funds. I couldn’t believe it when they told me they’d successfully recovered my entire $520,000. It was a moment of pure relief and disbelief.

This experience was a harsh lesson in cybersecurity, but it also showed me that there are trustworthy experts out there who can help. CYBERPUNK PROGRAMMERS didn’t just recover my money—they restored my faith in justice. I’m beyond grateful for their expertise and dedication. If you’ve fallen victim to crypto theft, I can’t recommend them enough. They’re the real deal: efficient, reliable, and incredibly skilled. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them—they turned my nightmare into a miracle.

Good question. Not sure if the crowd played a role. Intimidating place to ref, but experienced officials should be used to that.
