New Zealand’s slow start to the 2023/24 season in Dubai, Cape Town and Perth seems like a long time ago now with the reigning overall Series champions going on a stunning unbeaten run.

Captain Risi Pouri-Lane has lifted various trophies at SVNS stops in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Hong Kong China and now Singapore to edge Aussie in a thrilling race for the League crown.

      Chasing the Sun on RugbyPass TV | RPTV

      Chasing the Sun, the extraordinary documentary that traces the Springboks’ road to victory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, is coming to RugbyPass TV.

      Australia were the form team from those first three events, including a win in Dubai which saw them end New Zealand’s then-41-game unbeaten run. Those heroics haven’t been forgotten.

      New Zealand and Australia were locked equal on 106 overall competition points coming into the campaign’s final regular season event which is what made Sunday’s Cup final so intriguing.

      Two trophies were up for grabs for the victor, and it was New Zealand skipper Pouri-Lane who triumphantly hoisted both on the back of a Jorja Miller masterclass in the 10-point win.

      “It definitely feels pretty good. We always want to go to battle with the Aussies in the final,” Player of the Final Jorja Miller told RugbyPass.

      “To go out there, get the win, have a pretty decent performance, I’m pretty happy.

      “To go into Madrid with confidence and knowing that we’ve built from the start of the season off the back of LA, Vancouver into here,” she added.

      “We’re gonna go home, put some work in and hopefully bring it out in Madrid.”

      Miller didn’t get on the scoresheet in the decider but it was clear for all to see how important the rising star was. Whether it was in attack, defence or at the breakdown, Miller was everywhere.

      The 20-year-old contributed heavily to Portia Woodman-Wickliffe’s try in the 14th minute but was noticeably important in various other attacking phases too as the youngster pinned the ears.

      Michaela Blyde got the part start with a try inside the first minute and the Olympic gold medallist went on to complete a hat-trick. Stacey Waaka was New Zealand’s other try scorer.

      Australia’s Maddison Levi was of course on the scoresheet not once but twice – a feat which is becoming more common than not – but the second half was dominated by the women in black.

      While the Black Ferns Sevens continued to celebrate their SVNS League title, Miller stepped away and was asked about the secret behind her ascent in the world of rugby sevens.

      “Honesty, I don’t know,” she said with a laugh. “The girls call me a ‘tin a**’ and I get it but honestly when a gap opens up I’m just going for it regardless of the overlap.

      “If the girls are yelling, if I see half a glimpse I’m gonna take it.”

      My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
