Liam Williams' injury takes shine off rare Cardiff win over Munster

Cardiff kicked off their new URC campaign with a first victory over Munster in four years, winning 20-13 at the Arms Park despite an injury to new signing Liam Williams. Tries from Max Llewellyn, Kristian Dacey and Aled Summerhill saw the Blue and Blacks over the line, while Jarrod Evans contributed five points from the kicking tee. Jack O’Sullivan scored Munster’s only try, with Ben Healy and Jack Crowley kicking eight points between them.

It took Cardiff just four minutes to score the opening try, with a weak tackle from Munster lock Fineen Wycherley allowing Llewellyn to get back up on his feet to run in unopposed from 25 metres out. Munster’s game was littered with handling errors, but they finally got on the board when Healy smashed over a difficult penalty.

Cardiff were dealt a significant blow when summer signing Williams was forced off the field with his arm in a sling. The Irish province then looked almost certain to score after Shane Daly danced his way past Evans before offloading to Liam Coombes, who was stopped centimetres short of the line.

Cardiff’s scramble defence was excellent, meaning Munster had to make do with three points from Healy’s boot which put them into the lead against the run of play, but the hosts hit back on the stroke of half-time when a well-timed inside ball from hooker Dacey sent Llewellyn charging through a gap.

The big centre proceeded to draw in the last Munster defender to put Dacey over for the try. Evans converted, meaning Munster turned around 12-6 behind at the interval. Cardiff did not make the most of their territorial advantage and it cost them early in the second half. Munster won a penalty at the breakdown and booted the ball deep into the hosts’ half.

The visitors went through the phases and, after a period of sustained pressure on the Cardiff line, O’Sullivan powered over from short range. Crowley added the extras to put Munster into the lead with only 15 minutes left. But Evans soon nudged Cardiff back in front from the tee before some wonderful footwork from Uilisi Halaholo sent Summerhill over for the decisive try.

Crusaders prepare for 'dangerous in all elements' Chiefs game-breaker

It was a rainy Tuesday evening when I sat at my desk, staring at the screen in disbelief. My Bitcoin months of careful savings had vanished into a shady investment scheme I’d fallen for. The website promised "guaranteed returns," but after sending 2 BTC, the platform went dark, and my wallet was empty. I felt like a fool, scammed by my own desperation for a quick profit. Days turned into weeks, and I’d nearly given up hope when a friend mentioned Alpha Spy Nest, a secretive group known for tracking down lost crypto. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out through an encrypted email I found on a forum. Within hours, a response arrived: “Send us the details. We’ll see what we can do.” I shared everything, the wallet address I’d sent my Bitcoin to, the fake platform’s URL, and the few screenshots I’d taken. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t waste time with pleasantries. Their next message was a list of questions: transaction IDs, dates, even the IP address I’d used. I scrambled to provide it all, unsure how they’d pull off the impossible. Behind the scenes, Alpha Spy Nest went to work. They were a shadowy crew, hackers, blockchain analysts, and who-knows-what-else, operating on the edges of the digital world. Using tools I couldn’t begin to understand, they traced my Bitcoin through a labyrinth of wallets designed to hide the trail. The scammers had funneled it through mixers, but Alpha Spy Nest unraveled the mess, linking it to an exchange account tied to a careless crook who’d left digital breadcrumbs. Days later, I got a message: “Check your wallet.” My hands trembled as I opened my crypto app. There it was 1.9 BTC, a hair less than I’d lost due to fees, but more than I’d ever dreamed of seeing again. A follow-up note from Alpha Spy Nest explained they’d pressured the scammer into returning it after exposing his identity to the exchange. “He folded fast,” they wrote. “Stay sharp next time.” I never met them, never even learned their real names. But that rainy night, Alpha Spy Nest turned my despair into a second chance. I swore I’d never fall for a scam again and that I’d keep their name close, just in case.

Four of the best performances from round three of Super Rugby Pacific

A single typo costing me US$280,000 was beyond my imaginations, but even the most minute errors could have apocalyptic consequences in crypto.It all began with my trying to restore my Bitcoin wallet. I had properly backed up the seed phrase-so I thought-but when the time came to restore my wallet, it didn't work. Nothing worked. I started to be desperate, checking and double-checking my phrases. Where did I go wrong? After hours of frustration, it hit me—I had made a tiny mistake while writing down my seed phrase. A single misplaced character was now standing between me and my $280,000 in Bitcoin.Panic. I looked online, then saw the trending hashtag on Twitter #CryptoRecoverySuccess; out of curiosity, I clicked on it and story after story came out-people who lost access to wallets, got their funds back thanks to Tech Cyber Force  Recovery. The reviews were overwhelmingly so positive I reached out immediately. From the very first message, their team was composed, professional, and super reassuring; they explained to me how even minor typos in a seed phrase could make a wallet completely unreachable but not with the right tools and expertise. I gave them all the information I had, and their team got down to work. The hours turned into days, and my anxiety climbed to an all-time high. But then came the miracle. They cracked it. Tech Cyber Force  Recovery found my error, corrected the typo, and restored my wallet in record time. Seeing my Bitcoin balance show up once more was just pure relief and gratitude.They didn't just recover my funds; they taught me how to back up my wallet properly, avoid mistakes, and secure my assets against future mishaps.I now quadruple-check every single little detail and tell everyone I know: If you ever lock yourself out of your crypto, then Tech Cyber Force  Recovery is the lifeline one needs.The#CryptoRecoverySuccess hashtag wasn't just some hype, it saved me.CONTACT THEM THROUGHTELEGRAM  (AT)TECHCYBERFORC
