Western Force coach Simon Cron is “100 per cent” confident Carlo Tizzano is keen to stay in Perth as the star flanker weighs up the biggest decision of his rugby career.

Tizzano has been in white-hot form this Super Rugby Pacific campaign, scoring a competition-leading 10 tries to set a new Force season record.

The 25-year-old also leads the competition this year for tackles (108), and will be aiming to add to his growing reputation when he fronts up for Saturday’s vital match against the Highlanders in Perth.

      Jack Nowell discusses try-scoring in France | RP

      La Rochelle winger Jack Nowell chats to Jon Newcombe about his try-scoring efforts in France.

      Tizzano, who made his Wallabies debut last year, comes out of contract at the end of the season.

      The tackling machine has reportedly been offered a life-changing deal to play in Japan, and has an offer on the table from Rugby Australia and the Force.

      If Tizzano chases the money in Japan, it could close the door on him for the 2027 World Cup in Australia.

      Cron is optimistic Tizzano will stay in his hometown of Perth.

      “I’m 100 per cent sure he wants to stay, and it’s just him working through it,” Cron said on Friday.

      “He’s got a lovely partner and he comes from here, and they’ll work through their process.

      “Carlo is a great man. We love having him in our environment.

      “He’s got a contract from us and Rugby Australia on the table, so I’m sure he’s just going through his process at the moment.

      “He likes being in our environment and we like having him. So those two things are the most important.”

      Last week’s heartbreaking 28-24 loss to the Reds in Queensland means the Force (3-4) enter the current round in sixth spot on 15 points.

      The Highlanders (2-4) are just three points further behind and have a game in hand, meaning the Force can ill afford to lose if they want to reach the finals for the first time.

      “It’s a critical game. It’s a double pointer really,” Cron said.

      “They (the Highlanders) thrive off chaos.

      “They love to counter attack – a lot of tries come from counter attack. They will quick throw, quick tap. They’re a very good side.”

      While Tizzano has been earning widespread praise for his exploits this season, prop Tom Robertson has also been in the spotlight this week after his stunning 45m run to the line against the Reds.

      “He’s living in a dream world,” Cron said with a laugh.

      “I think he hit top speed in that one.”

      Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

      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.
