Iosefa-Scott, who made was first named in a Highlanders squad in 2019, appeared for the side in Super Rugby Aotearoa in 2020 but did not return for the 2021 campaign.

The majority of Iosefa-Scott’s elite game time has come in the NPC with Waikato.

Exeter bounced back from their loss to Leinster in the Heineken Champions Cup with a convincing win over Wasps last weekend.

'They've uncovered a gem': Unknown first five-eighth turning heads in Super Rugby

Pellegrini is certainly a star in the making. Barely puts a foot wrong and creates opportunities for others. He is going to be in high demand after SRP. If Tonga are smart, they will find a way to keep him in camp while allowing him to maximize his income off-shore.

RETRIEVE SCAMMED AND LOST DIGITAL ASSETS // CRYPTO PANDEMIC HUNTER

Fraud involving stolen funds is common today, coupled with how it seem impossible to recover lost assets. I thought my 2. 74 BTC was gone for good after being scammed by a fake investment scheme with Venus Trading. They promised good returns, so I staked my Bitcoin for three months. When the staking period ended, I couldn’t withdraw my assets due to claimed technical issues. Soon, the website was inaccessible, leaving me in disbelief. However, I found Crypto Pandemic Hunter, who quickly started tracing my stolen assets. They used advanced tools and tracked all transactions related to the scam. After many efforts, I successfully retrieved my bitcoin. I am grateful to Crypto Pandemic Hunter for restoring my hope. If you’ve lost digital assets, don’t give up; contact cryptopandemichunter@consultant.com

Crusaders vs Force takes: Let's talk about Sevu Reece, forgotten All Black returns

Why would they go back to Beauden at fullback. Many others like Jeff Wilson, Justin Marshall and others think Will Jordans best position is fullback . He finally has been picked there in the All Blacks. The try he scored from fullback on Saturday against the Western Force was a cross between Ben Smith and Christian Cullen . He has the vision at 15 to cut teams to bits.

Will Jordan: Every All Blacks strategic shift for World Cup was to beat Ireland

100% - I find myself less and less interested in the sprot these days. We already know that certain refs will ruin a game before it even starts. Officials don’t even apply the same rules. In the RWC they didn’t even follow the established rules. It is a farce.

Will Vern Cotter succumb to second season Blues in Auckland?

Did you suffer losses from the CanCap Crypto investment scam?

Sadly, I was a victim of this CanCap crypto investment scam, and I lost $757,000 worth of crypto in 24 hours. I saw an article about CanCap Crypto on Facebook, supposedly endorsed by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I was deceived into believing I could invest in this scheme, but I ended up losing all my money. Not a while later, I found out that I was being scammed when I saw the news about the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) warnings about the CanCap Crypto investment scam. I was left wondering what had happened and how I could recover my money. A friend who works for the government of Alberta told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, which is a resourceful crypto recovery company. I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service, who had already received several other requests to investigate and recover crypto from the same scam, while I was still in doubt if it could be done, Morphohack was able to recover my crypto investments from CanCap within 48 hours later. In light of the situation, I fully recommend the service of Morphohack Cyber Service while I encourage everyone out there to be careful of their crypto investments or seek help from a reputable and trustworthy source.

Officiating unfortunately affects far too many games adversely . Sadly red/yellow cards determine far too many games. Offending players deserve to appear before the judiciary but it seems the greatest penalty falls on their team. Deliberate foul play must be punished but most of the times that players are binned are accidental or careless actions . Football and league seem to have better systems in place.

Super Rugby Pacific has turned the ship around in the right direction

4 teams for NZ? Thats insane. Already every year we have a bunch of NPC players who are playing like SR players but cant get contracts. Going to 4 teams would just push another 30 NZ players offshore and there is zero intelligence in doing that. Id prefer to see Moana play in Sydney’s west and NZ have a 6th side if 12 is the number they want but then it all goes back to needing a round robin instead of the silly draw we currently have where the Saders, Blues and Chiefs all play each other twice.

SC you seem to be confused. Yep MP players are allowed to be NZ born just in the same way NZ born players can play for Ireland etc. MP is 80% PI elligible with an allowed 20% from anywhere else and guys like Savea, Kefu Leiliafaino etc signed due to their influence and status in the Pacifica community.

It needs these top ups to be competitive because having a completely uncompetitive MP would do far more harm than good. Please go look at the last WC where Tonga and Samoa had 39 NZ born players between the two squads. Thats where MP will benifit those PI nations in future as it will only get better.


As for the SA sides!!!!!! No thank you. Its far nicer not having the constant whinging around times and fairness, and their rugby is very average at best. Look at their constant successes in the NH eh. ( note… Sarcasm )

The ship was always heading in the right direction Hamish its just that all you ever did was stay in your room watching All Black defeats over the last hundred years so you could write your terrible articles. If you bothered going up to the deck and having a look the rugby has been great for years.
