The Auckland-based Super Rugby Pacific franchise announced on Wednesday that they have secured Perofeta’s services through until the 2024 season.

It comes after 25-year-old, who can play first-five and fullback, starred for the Blues en route to their runner-up finish this season, with his performances earning him a maiden All Blacks call-up for their upcoming series against Ireland.

      Aotearoa Rugby Pod | Episode 20

      Named as Players’ Player of the Year and Back of the Year at the recent end-of-season Blues awards, Perofeta ended the Super Rugby Pacific campaign as equal top point-scorer with a personal tally of 129.

      The former New Zealand U20 star, who made his first-class debut in the Heartland Championship with Whanganui as a schoolboy in 2015, is also closing in on his 50th cap for the Blues after making his debut for the side five years ago.

      Now a star of the Blues backline, Perofeta – who has also re-signed with NPC team Taranaki – is eager to continue his development alongside his high-profile teammates, many of whom join him in the current All Blacks squad.

      “We are developing into a good team of good mates, but we also know there is a lot more to come yet and I’m keen to be part of it,” Perofeta said in a statement released on Wednesday.

      “I have enjoyed this year and loved the relationship with Beauden, both at Taranaki and at the Blues.”

      Blues head coach Leon MacDonald spoke highly of Perofeta’s progression as a Blues player over the course of the coming years.

      “Stevie’s development since he came the Blues five years ago has been remarkable, and off the back of an outstanding NPC for Taranaki, he has taken his game to another level, especially forming a unique partnership with Beauden,” MacDonald said.

      “We are thrilled to have him on the field for at least two more years, while off it, he is one of the most popular people in our organisation, and a very good person who strongly represents our values.”

      The Blues’ retention of Perofeta comes in the same week that it was announced they had re-signed All Blacks star Caleb Clarke following speculation that he would switch codes to play in the NRL earlier this year.

      Scotland left stunned as Italy earn first win of Six Nations campaign

      A few weeks ago, I came across a YouTube ad that stopped me in my tracks. It looked like a live broadcast of Elon Musk announcing Tesla’s “exclusive crypto project.” The production was flawless, professional, convincing, and eerily realistic. His voice, expressions, mannerisms everything matched what you’d expect from a real Tesla livestream.The ad promised massive returns if you “joined the project” by sending Bitcoin to a wallet address. I was skeptical at first, but the countdown timer, skyrocketing charts, and Elon’s confident pitch chipped away at my doubt. Eventually, I gave in. I sent $8,000 worth of BTC, thinking I was getting in early on a groundbreaking initiative.But just a few hours later, something didn’t sit right. I checked Tesla’s official channels. No mention of any crypto project. My stomach dropped.I rushed to a blockchain explorer and looked up the wallet address I’d sent the funds to. What I saw confirmed my worst fears: my BTC was being split and moved rapidly across multiple wallets in a process known as “smurfing,” a common money laundering technique. I had been scammed.In desperation, I searched for help and came acrossCHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERYa blockchain forensics firm. Honestly, I didn’t expect much but I reached out anyway. To my surprise, they responded quickly and took my case seriously.

Within 48 hours, CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERYhad coordinated with Binance’s security team, who were able to freeze the scammer’s account before the funds could be withdrawn or laundered further.A few days later, the impossible happened the full $8,000 was returned to me.Even now, I can hardly believe it.

      English rugby's longest-serving ‘one club man’ prepares to bow out

      Investing €40,000 in cryptocurrency through Get Forex com seemed like a smart move until I tried to withdraw my funds At the time, cryptocurrency seemed like a golden opportunity to secure my financial future I had heard countless success stories of people making substantial profits in the market Confident in my decision, I invested, believing that I was making a well-informed choice But little did I know, this decision would lead me into a nightmare that would take months to unravel. For two agonizing months, my money was locked away. Every attempt to recover it was met with delays, excuses, and even demands for more money to "release" my withdrawal Each day felt like an emotional rollercoaster I would contact customer support, hoping for a resolution, only to receive vague responses or worse no response at all It soon became clear that I had fallen victim to a scam The platform had no intention of returning my funds I was devastated, confused, and feeling helpless. As the weeks dragged on, I tried everything I contacted customer support multiple times, but their responses were always vague and unhelpful I followed their unclear instructions, hoping that it would finally lead to my money being released I even researched legal options and consulted with professionals, but no matter what I did, I was unable to make any progress It was as if the scammers were one step ahead at all times My frustration grew, and the thought that I might never see my €40,000 again weighed heavily on me. Just when I thought my money was gone forever, a friend who had experienced something similar recommended Tech Cyber Force Recovery. At that point, I was skeptical but also desperate. I had tried everything, and nothing had worked. What did I have to lose? I decided to give them a chance, though I had serious doubts about whether they could help me recover my funds. To my amazement, Tech Cyber Force Recovery acted swiftly and professionally, Their team launched a thorough investigation, keeping me updated at every step of the process They communicated transparently and regularly, making sure I was never left in the dark Within just five days, they successfully recovered my full €40,000 I couldn’t believe it after months of frustration, what had seemed impossible became reality The relief I felt was indescribable I could finally breathe again.
