Vancouver here we come! It’s been a long five weeks trying to make the plane following a foot injury in pre-season and I’m really proud to have made the squad for WXV 1 2024.

I am currently sat at Gatwick Airport watching the lightning light up the runway with rain pouring down the windows. Our flight has been delayed but that won’t stop me from getting excited about tour.

Allianz Stadium was electric on Saturday. Over 40,000 fans were in attendance and they were on great form. There were some stand-out moments from a fan perspective.

‘This Energy Never Stops’ – One year to go until the Women’s Rugby World Cup

With exactly one year to go until Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025 kicks off
in Sunderland, excitement is sweeping across the host nation in anticipation of what
will be the biggest and most accessible celebration of women’s rugby ever.

Register now for the ticket presale

The roar that filled the stadium when Abby Dow was leaping over defenders close to the sideline and then the moment when Abbie Ward stole a clean lineout ball from the Black Ferns – that also got the crowd excited.

We played some great rugby. We started to play in better areas of the pitch and utilised the kicking options from both first and second receiver. Our defence is growing and we are starting to reap the rewards of all our preseason efforts.

But what’s most exciting is we still have so much more potential to unlock. Most players have had their first game back now so the nerves will have settled, as well as the focus of being in a tournament.

Although it’s important to be ready to go for the warm-up games, it’s also a chance to make mistakes and learn from them. It’s all about growing and evolving.

Travel day is always a long day and one that you want to try and get right. You firstly want to try and avoid getting any colds on the plane. First defence, chewing gum and water are your best friend.

With an eight-hour time difference, you also want to try and start adjusting your sleep pattern. We have been told to nap early on in the flight and then stay awake for the rest.

It’s important to fuel your body still with the right foods as well. When we land it’ll be a case of staying up for the rest of the day and then making our hotel rooms feel like home. I have a candle and have brought some home comforts with me to make it feel more homely.

Right, time to go! See you on the flip side!

I was at Twickenham for the BF match and, by their standards, I thought the Red Roses were distinctly ordinary. The fact that they won pretty comfortably, the crowd started dreaded Mexican waves and only the bounce of the ball got BFs on the scoreboard, shows how much better they are than the rest of the world.

Fin Smith: Northampton Saints face battle to keep England star

Contact: Morphohack@cyberservices.com This is the email that changed everything for me.

I thought my $88,000 in Bitcoin was lost forever. After exhausting every possible recovery method, resetting passwords, contacting exchanges, and searching through old files. I was at a complete loss. It felt like all hope was gone.

Then, I came across a review about MORPHOHACK CYBER SERVICES and their expertise in recovering lost Bitcoin. At first, I was skeptical. After all, I had already tried everything. But desperation pushed me to take a chance, and I reached out.

From the moment I contacted them, I was impressed by their professionalism and clear communication. They asked for the necessary details, explained the recovery process step by step, and reassured me that they had helped many others in my situation. Within just a few hours, to my absolute disbelief, they successfully recovered every last bit of my Bitcoin!

The relief and gratitude I felt were overwhelming. I had already accepted that my funds were gone, but thanks to Morphohack Cyber Service, I got everything back quickly and securely.

The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech


As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try.
