    Miraculously, they managed to escape without any loss of possessions or injury, and the incident was not publicly disclosed at the time.

    The ordeal was reportedly discussed by the team’s management, and in light of the incident, a strict warning was issued to all team members, advising them not to venture out alone after dark in the unfamiliar city.

    The hotel where the Fosters and other team members were staying was situated in a neighbourhood with a reputation for high crime rates.

    According to the report, these unfortunate circumstances and other issues with the accommodation eventually led to the hotel being removed from the tournament rotation, with the All Blacks not staying there again.

    Despite the alarming incident, Foster carried out leading the All Blacks to the Rugby World Cup final, with no mention of the unsavoury event being made public.

    Maybe this was all part of the Springbok so called plot to win the cup if they looked closely, they would have seen Wayne Barnes and Suzie there.

    Just glad🙏 Ian’s family was ok.

    Being from the SH I've said it all along, that the NH and especially Europe under the hospice of the sickening EU, has lost their collective minds, and this is proof of it. It's insane to think that a mere sport, which isn't a matter of life n death like the Russia/Ukraine war currently is, can force an individual to resort to such vile actions, it's pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was never much of a fan of Foster, however I think the bs he has to put up with has been appalling.

    Even when his family were potentially at risk, he put this aside, kept it out of the media and kept his focus on the ABs. To me that’s a huge indicator of the character of the man.

    Others at the WC received on line abuse and death threats, and it became widely publicised, whereas Foster’s was actually real … yet the humility and class of the guy shone through.

    I am astounded by the gutless comments on here regarding this issue and how the keyboard warriors have chosen it as another opportunity to attack the guy and mistakenly pass off their views as fact or having any level of importance in the grand scheme of things.

    Foster and his family suffered for many what would be traumatic …

    Obviously shows a lot more class and decency than many of his detractors

    Waratahs snap losing streak against ill-disciplined Brumbies

    How I Got Back My Lost Crypto After a Scam/Hack Savvy Tech


    On January 1st, I discovered that I had fallen victim to a fraudulent international shipping investment that cost me a staggering AU$8,000,000. As the owner of a shipping company based in Australia, I had been diligently searching for ways to expand and strengthen our business. When I came across an enticing opportunity that promised high returns through international shipping ventures, it seemed like the perfect move to accelerate our growth. After what I thought was thorough research and careful consideration, I decided to invest a significant amount of money. At first, everything appeared legitimate. The shipping company seemed professional, and I was regularly updated with reports that reassured me the investment was progressing as planned. However, over time, I started noticing discrepancies. Payments were delayed, communication became sporadic, and red flags began to pop up in the details of the transactions. Something didn’t feel right, and before long, the truth hit me hard—I had been scammed. The company I had trusted was a fraudulent operation, never intending to deliver on their promises.The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. Not only had I lost a large sum of money, but I also faced the daunting reality of how this would affect my business, employees, and reputation. I felt completely helpless and unsure of how to recover from such a blow.That’s when I found HACK SAVVY TECH .

    Fin Smith: Northampton Saints face battle to keep England star

    As a seasoned pilot, I'd spent years flying the friendly skies of Europe, diligently saving my earnings from countless flights. So, when I decided to invest my €100,000 gratuity with ForexTilt, I thought I'd made a savvy decision. But, little did I know, my dreams of growing my savings would soon turn into a nightmare.

    The platform's performance began to plummet, and before I could react, my entire investment had vanished into thin air. I was stunned, feeling like I'd been punched in the gut. This wasn't just any money; it was the result of years of hard work and sacrifice.

    The reality soon set in: I'd been scammed. The disappointment and frustration were overwhelming, leaving me feeling helpless and shattered. My confidence in financial markets had been shaken to the core.

    Determined to recover my stolen funds, I embarked on a quest for justice. I scoured the internet, seeking advice from friends, family, and online forums. That's when I stumbled upon Morphohack Cyber Service, a reputable firm specializing in recovering lost funds.

    With trepidation, I reached out to Morphohack Cyber Service, hoping against hope that they could help me recover my stolen savings. Their team was empathetic, professional, and reassuring, giving me the confidence to pursue the recovery process.

    Through their tireless efforts, Morphohack Cyber Service successfully tracked down my stolen funds and recovered the full amount. I was overjoyed, feeling like I'd been given a second chance. The recovery came just in time for Christmas, bringing me immense relief and joy.

    Thanks to Morphohack Cyber Service, I regained control of my finances and rediscovered hope for the future.
