Newcastle boss backs his Falcons to become key Pumas against England

Dave Walder, the Newcastle Falcons head coach, is backing his trio of Pumas to cause England problems at Twickenham on Sunday with wonder wing Mateo Carreras having already lit up the Gallagher Premiership with his try scoring talents.

Walder believes a frustrating period as an unused member of the Pumas squad in New Zealand during the recent Rugby Championship was the catalyst for Carreras’s outstanding form that has seen him deliver five tries this season, including one from deep inside his own half against Northampton.

With Argentina playing a more expansive game, the Newcastle centre partnership of Matias Orlando and Matias Moroni are set to start for the Pumas against England and if Carreras is included it will give the Falcons three players in the back line.

That would raise spirits at a Falcons team that is currently bottom of the Premiership going into Saturday’s home with Bath. Falcons have Adam Radwan back from England training which means a potential head to head with Carreras cannot happen at Twickenham, however, the Newcastle lock Sean Robinson has remained with England in the build up to the match.

Walder said: “Mateo was surprised by his call up because he had flown out to New Zealand in the Rugby Championship and held a tackle bag for two weeks and came back a little bit disheartened and maybe that lit the fire to start the season so well for us. He is competitive, a tough character and its great to see him get the recognition. I hope he starts on Sunday and the only disappointment is that he won’t be up against Adam Radwan.

“The form the Argentina players showed for us was great and I would expect them to either start or be on the bench against England. Felipe Contepomi has come in with (head coach) Michael Cheika and they have got the balance about right and can change their style depending on the opposition. I like what Contepomi does with the team and their players are combative but also have that little bit of finesse as well.

“It will be a good challenge for England who are coming off the back of their summer tour where they won the series against Australia but then Argentina won for the first time in New Zealand in the Rugby Championship.

“The first test of the autumn is always interesting and with Argentina having played more recently that could be a factor and then you have England selection and how many new combinations there will be. Argentina will fancy their chances but England at home – you would be foolish to back against them.”

'Poor comments from me' - Watson backtracks on emotional red card outburst

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum. They restored our faith in the power of ethical innovation.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech
