An Olympian and a breakout player from the 2023/24 SVNS Series are among those named in one of two squads for the Next Gen Sevens. The top emerging talent in Australia’s women’s sevens will be showcased across three events in October, starting this weekend in Sydney.

NSW Waratahs Women’s Sevens will take on their Queensland Reds counterparts at Forshaw Rugby Park in Sydney on Saturday. The other two rounds will take place on October 12 in Toowoomba and October 20 at Byron Bay Rugby Union Club.

This weekend, the Waratahs have named Australian Sevens rookie Ruby Nicholas in their squad. Nicholas debuted on the SVNS Series at the prestigious Hong Kong Sevens and didn’t look back as Australia went on to claim the overall title in Madrid.

Nicholas wasn’t originally named in Australia’s squad for the event in Hong Kong China but an injury to Heidi Dennis changed that. The teenager was called in and went on to impress, scoring a runaway try towards the north stand during a big win over the fighting Irish.

While Nicholas wasn’t named in Team Australia’s squad for the Paris Olympics, there’s no doubt the rising star has a bright future ahead of her in rugby sevens. But, first thing is first, Nicholas can be expected to play a key role in the Waratahs’ Next Gen Sevens campaign.

As for Queensland, they’ve been boosted by the inclusion of Kahli Henwood who debuted for Australia at the Paris Olympics. Henwood joins 2023 Wallaroos Carys Dallinger and Melani Wilks in the Queensland Reds’ squad.

Heidi Dennis – the same player who suffered the ankle injury which saw Nicholas debut in Hong Kong China – has been named in the Reds’ extended squad with Olympian Demi Hayes, but the pair are still no guarantee to play in the event.

Maddison Levi, Tagan Levi, Faith Nathan Madison Ashby, Bienne Terita and Kaitlin Shave are among those who have graduated from the Next Gen level before taking the SVNS Series world by storm. It’s a crucial marker for the Australia Women’s Sevens program.

“The Next Gen Sevens series is integral to recruit and develop the next generation of the best of the best ‘top gun’ oval ball athletes to represent Australia on the world stage,” Australia Women’s Sevens coach Tim Walsh said in a statement.

“This series prepares players for global travel with Australia A and builds depth for the future of the Australian Women’s Sevens program.”

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

It was one of those casual work Zoom calls where somebody just haphazardly threw in "Asset Rescue Specialist " as if it was part of office gossip. And I was just like, cool, but I'm probably never going to need that. Fast forward a month, and I stared at my computer screen, horrified, having fallen for some fake Ledger update that wiped out my $330,000 wallet. Suddenly, that casual mention was the most important thing I'd ever heard in my life. I was paralyzed with panic. I felt like I'd just lost a small fortune-because I had-and the shame of it all kept me frozen. I was too embarrassed to admit what had happened and way too anxious to even know how to fix it. But then, that Zoom call came to mind. I remembered my colleague's offhand remark about Asset Rescue Specialist and thought, "Why not? What do I have to lose, other than everything? So, I dialed the number, and within seconds, the team was on it. They did not bat an eyelid as I told them my sad tale of wallet disaster. The calm, collected, and-professional-dare I say it-came through the phone so confidently, like I was talking to a group of crypto superheroes-outback, no capes, just serious recovery skills. What followed was an efficient flurry: they worked magic, got back my $330,000, and set me up with all-new security so I don't repeat that whole disaster. They didn't just fix it; they made sure I knew how to secure myself for the future. It was no more 'me', the guy whose definition of "security" includes crossing his fingers and hoping. Now I'm the guy who actually knows the difference between a seed phrase and a shopping list. It's funny, in retrospect: that Zoom call was the plot twist I never saw coming. Who knew a throwaway comment about a recovery service would prove to be my crypto lifeline? If only I'd known that was the important stuff back then! But, you know, better late than never! Thanks to Asset Rescue Specialist, I am back on track-not just regarding crypto investments, but way more security-cautious than I'd ever been before.

Lesson learned? Never skip those casual mentions of recovery services during work Zoom calls; you never know when you need to call upon them to save you from this or that costly mistake.

HOW CAN I RECOVER MY LOST CRYPTO (BTC, USDT) investment.

It's very easy when you contact: Trojanhack@qualityservice.com

Hi Guys, I'm Bryan Li wong from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ok let me start this way.

Though At first i was very skeptical when a friend Davies Frank from Chicago Illinois told me about them and how they were able to help him recovered his Crypto Loss during the Covid 19 pandermic.

I was a victim of a Fake Forex Trading Guru Investment online in 2023 and i was so gullible to get scammed to the tone of 254,650 USDT. i believed them after seeing multiples of their trade result online. little did i know they were all scam and i was so foolish to fell for such stunt. i got depressed and my whole world was shattered as a result of my heavy mistakes.

I couldnt' withdraw my USDT profit from them. they came up with stories and they kept demanding for more and more from me and it was them i confirmed further they were syndicates.

it was such a terrible and ugly ordeals i went through.

After contacting TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY, i experienced a life changing recovery process, they were able to trace and recovered all for me within 4 days.

Their team are the best and very good at what they do. which if not could have been my life's greatest mishap. I am forever indebted to this reputable company (TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY) and i know there are thousands of people who are undergoing same situation as mine and for that reason i'd be listing their contact details once again which are as follows:

Rassie Erasmus names Springboks squad of 56 for March meet-up

It started with a dream—a dream of financial independence, of escaping the grind and securing a future for my family. Like many others, I was drawn to the world of cryptocurrency. The stories of people striking it rich with Bitcoin were everywhere, and I thought, why not me? That’s when I stumbled upon an online investment platform promising astronomical returns. I invested a substantial amount of my savings, believing I was on the path to financial freedom.But within weeks, everything fell apart. The platform vanished overnight. Emails bounced back, phone numbers were disconnected, and my funds were gone. I felt like I had been hit by a truck. The weight of my mistake was crushing I had not only lost my savings but also jeopardized my family’s future. I was drowning in guilt, anger, and despair, unsure of where to turn.That’s when I found Washington Recovery Pro. At first, I was skeptical. How could anyone recover money from anonymous Bitcoin scammers? But I was desperate, and I decided to give them a shot,from the moment I reached out, Washington Recovery Pro was different. They listened to my story with genuine empathy and assured me that they had helped countless others in my situation.They specialized in tracing cryptocurrency transactions, uncovering the identities of scammers, and working with international authorities to recover stolen funds. Their transparency gave me hope. Finally, the breakthrough came. They had traced my funds to a series of wallets and identified the individuals behind the scam. Through their network of legal and law enforcement partners, they initiated a recovery process.The day I received the news that a significant portion of my funds had been recovered was one of the happiest of my life. Washington Recovery Pro had not only given me back my money but also restored my faith in justice.Reach out to them Via..
