Winger Corey Toole is racing the clock to be fit for the Brumbies’ Super Rugby Pacific quarter-final against the Hurricanes.

Toole hurt his ankle in the Brumbies’ 33-17 triumph against Melbourne on Friday night and took part in light training on Monday.

He will test his injury with a key training session on Tuesday as he attempts to prove his fitness for Saturday night’s clash.

His presence will be crucial if the Brumbies are to beat their New Zealand opponents and keep their season alive for another week, with captain and vital prop Allan Alaalatoa out and hulking lock Nick Frost needing to get through his own knee injury.

Toole impressed in their narrow 32-27 loss to the Hurricanes in round 10 with a try and some brilliant runs, with coach Stephen Larkham paying tribute to his brilliant debut season.

“It’s hard to beat speed,” Larkham said.

“Like (fullback Tom Wright) and (winger Andy Muirhead), because they’ve been playing together for t he whole season there’s a good combination and a good confidence among the three.

“His try on the weekend was special, we’ve seen a number of opportunities where Tooley’s made some breaks … the way he finished that try, that hunger to get over the try-line was something every coach wants to see.”

Hurricanes coach Jason Holland was glowing in his praise of Toole, saying he had caught the eye when preparing to play the Brumbies in April.

“He didn’t surprise us because we’ve been a bit of a fan ever since we started doing our analysis for the first time we played the Brumbies,” he said.

“We were pretty impressed with him and I know CJ (former All Blacks winger and Hurricanes assistant coach) Corey Jane thinks he’s something pretty special.

“He’s only a little dude and he’s fast, but he seems like a pretty tough bugger as well.

“I reckon he’s something special and obviously the more 15s he plays, it looks like he’s gonna get better and better.”

But whatever side the Brumbies can field, the Hurricanes know winning in Canberra will be a tough challenge.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible.telegram (@)techcyberforc  texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)
