Romane Ménager's SVNS détour and why it helped her return from injury

Very strange décision. Romane Ménager was in Hong Kong and Séraphine Okemba played back row in La Rochelle vs Scotland. As you can watch on the vidéo RM scored a mighty try you will not watch very often at sevens. And SO scored a winger try in La Rochelle despite her position…

Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

One afternoon, while browsing LinkedIn, I came across a post praising SOFTWEAR TECH SOLUTION cryptocurrency recovery expertise. I briefly skimmed it, shrugged it off, and moved on, never imagining I would need their help. Fast forward a few months, and disaster struck. I attempted to migrate my wallet, thinking it would be simple—but it turned out to be a disaster, locking me out of $350,000. Panic set in as I desperately searched for recovery options, but I seemed to get nowhere. After hours ofRECOVER YOUR LOST CRYPTOCURRENCY, BITCOIN AND ETH WITH SOFTWEAR TECH frustration, that LinkedIn post resurfaced in my mind. Feeling desperate, I tracked it down and reached out to SOFTWEAR TECH SOLUTION , crossing my fingers for a miracle.

Their team approached the situation with incredible professionalism. They reassured me and systematically tackled the mess I had created. In just a few days, they successfully restored my wallet and retrieved my $350,000. A wave of relief washed over me; I had gone from sheer terror to a feeling of triumph. Grateful for their skill, I posted my own shoutout on LinkedIn, thanking them for saving my financial future.

The key takeaway from this experience? Don’t overlook the importance of backups, and keep SOFTWEAR TECH RECOVERY SOLUTION contact information close at hand. They transformed my nightmare into a success story, and I’d gladly buy them a round if I could. From skeptic to believer, I can confidently vouch for their service.

Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

Trust, I once believed, formed the essential foundation of any partnership, particularly in business ventures and financial transactions. My naiveté, however, led me to trust too readily. I encountered an individual presenting herself as a crypto investment guru and strategist. We bonded over shared interests, including our lifestyles and a mutual appreciation for arts and antiques. I found myself believing every word she spoke regarding his purported success in crypto and how crypto would soon take over the world. I was intrigued, after all, a couple of thousand dollars won't break a spine. Initially, the experience seemed promising, but it soon devolved into a chaotic situation. I was repeatedly pressured to provide increasingly substantial sums of money as my supposed profits grew, and I sought to withdraw my funds. Within a mere three months, I had transferred $390,000 in Bitcoin from my wallet across five separate transactions. Subsequently, my wallet was compromised and faced imminent threat. It was at this critical juncture that I sought assistance from Meta Tech Recovery Pro. I presented my case to them, and after a thorough analysis, they revealed that I had been communicating with a single individual throughout the entire ordeal. Meta Tech Recovery Pro swiftly secured my wallet and, through their expertise, successfully recovered my Bitcoin from the scammer. In conclusion, I strongly advise exercising extreme caution when placing your trust in individuals you encounter online. I am eternally grateful to Meta Tech Recovery Pro for their invaluable assistance. They can be reached via:

Anna McGann hat-trick helps Ireland ‘rewrite past’ against Italy

Noticable jump in quality and accuracy last year from Ireland. They had chances for that 6N breakthrough win against France which would have given them a shot at top2.

They are looking like a clever team and it will be interesting if England can overrun them this time. Realistically a competitive match against England and 3rd in this 6N sets them up ok for the RWC.

If they can start to embed that Irish system then there is a huge ceiling for Irish women’s rugby.

Richie Mo'unga lifts lid on 2027 Rugby World Cup ambitions

By seriously wrong I meant IF we couldn’t find a 10 in NZ after 2 years. Concerning the other 2, this trend of making utility players is damaging our players. What good is a first five/fullback when they can’t focus on either. One of the reasons Richie is in the mix is because he is a 10… only. Beauden has suffered the most with the constant switching, it’s affected Dmac and it will affect Perofeta in the future.

Not the full picture and it doesn’t relate to the round of 16 in this case. McCall made the decision when they unexpectedly (from their perspective) lost at home to Castres and ended up on the same side of the draw as Toulouse, likely QF opponents from the Toulon tie.

Saracens to controversially rest England stars for Champions Cup KO game

At least 8 teams have no chance of winning (or making a final) and I stand by that. They have lost more games than they have won to reach the knock out stage. We may get an upset in the round of 1/16, but unlikely.

The likes of Ulster, Munster and Northhampton will always put out their strongest team for an elimination match, but Saracens obviously have no interest.

Harlequins are dangerous opponents but Leinster, Toulouse, La Rochelle etc are rarely surprised (unlike Bordeaux last year). That said the big pitch in Croke Park will suit Harlequins.

The technical tweaks that could send Wales back to rugby's top table

Wales U20's were lumped in 1st game vs France but did beat Ireland and England. There are good players who will bubble up to surface.


Warburton is bright and well informed. WRU should get him involved somehow. Players and coaches respect him which is cornerstone to successfully implement unpopular change.

I thought it was done last year?

So eg Bordeaux were 2nd in France but eliminated in last years QF by Harlequins so were in the second seedings and ended up in same group as Toulouse.

Finn Russell apologises for role in incident that broke female rugby fan's wrist

Connor lauded Russell for making a painful injury “all worth it”.


Can someone ensure Russell signed “to Emily” (the injured party) on the jersey and that it goes directly to Emily and not via “It was all worth it” Connor?

Fiji and New Zealand set to face off as pools for SVNS Singapore revealed

I am a business woman living in the diaspora, and my desire for affection and care mirrored that of anyone else. My search for love commenced with me signing up for an online dating app, where I encountered an Asian man. Following a period of communication, he introduced me to what she described as a popular investment platform in Asia, I trusted him so much that I failed to carry out an investigation. According to him, substantial profits were being earned there, and her presentation was so compelling that it piqued my curiosity. Unbeknownst to me, I was being catfished.  he provided evidence of his earnings and even sent me a watch as a token of her affection. Consequently, he gained my trust and affection, which marked the beginning of my financial losses in Bitcoin. I had complete faith in him and invested over a million US dollars. Upon recognizing the extent of my investment in this fraudulent scheme, I attempted to withdraw my profits from the investment program, as I had utilized my business capital. My requests were disregarded, and they continually requested additional funds. Frustration mounted, and my supposed partner became hostile after I ceased sending money. Seeking assistance, I discovered RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS. They assessed my circumstances and confirmed my worst fear: I had become a victim of a pig-butchering romance scam. I was disheartened, as I genuinely believed I had found love again following a difficult divorce. Fortunately, RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS specializes in recovering Bitcoin sent to fraudulent or scam wallets. After collaborating with RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS, they successfully recovered my scammed Bitcoin. They are my permanent solution for cybersecurity. I strongly endorse RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS for crypto tracing and recovery. If you find yourself in a similar situation or involved in a suspicious investment platform, contact RUDER CYBER TECH SLEUTHS
