Dewi Lake has been ruled out of Wales’ Autumn Nations Series due to a shoulder injury. The Ospreys hooker was hurt during his team’s United Rugby Championship defeat against the Dragons on Sunday. Lake has been replaced in the 35-man squad by Dragons’ former Ulster forward Bradley Roberts.

Wales kick off their autumn schedule against New Zealand on November 5, with Lake the latest casualty. Head coach Wayne Pivac was already without Dan Biggar, Liam Williams, Wyn Jones, Leon Brown, Seb Davies, Johnny Williams, Josh Navidi and Taine Basham because of injuries.

Pivac also has a number of other players who will require monitoring during the build-up to New Zealand’s Cardiff visit. That list includes George North (knee), Leigh Halfpenny (hamstring strain), Josh Adams (hand), Alex Cuthbert (shoulder) and Gareth Anscombe (ribs).

Why the ‘State of Origin’ will have a big say in Schmidt’s Wallabies selection

Saturday's showdown between the Reds and Waratahs is not merely a clash of styles, but an Australia trial into the bargain.

Was Dublin drubbing the end of an era or a bump in the road for Ireland?

Has an ageing squad been exposed by Les Bleus, or was Saturday's French thrashing merely a blip for the venerated green machine?

'Wales v England has a special resonance and can make a mockery of what has gone before’

Wales will aim to harness the passion of their home crowd but the game will be decided by form, not historical enmity, with England in pole position.

Dan Sheehan stars as Ireland sign off with slim success over Italy

What must be concerning for Ireland is that the U20 side were woeful in the 6N tournament, so the next level being the Wolfhounds will have to supply the next generation of stars. Will there be enough, to plug the holes though?

You probably haven’t had a chance to watch but Qld certainly showed up last night! It’s one loss for the Tahs but they did seem a little clueless in attack after the first 15 mins

7-1 will be gone by the next 6 Nations I reckon. There is only a short window of opportunity left to use it.

Maybe too soon to fully assess Borthwick’s 6N, but in terms of selection, it looks like he’s building a half decent ‘squad’. Still not sure who our best starting 15 are though especially with IFW and Furbank coming back.

What to watch in men’s rugby: Challenger kicks off, League One heats up

A Sandwich Attack Was Used to Wipe Out My Crypto Transaction Of $389,000.

I was swapping in between my stablecoins when I lost $389,000. I was confused and didn’t know how that could happen, I just lost all my crypto and I’m traumatized.

A few days later, a tech guy from my firm contacted a crypto recovery expert Morphohack Cyber Service, who was able to detect that a malicious bot called MEV(Maximum Extractable Value) detected my transaction and front ran it before my transaction was processed. The bot's actions made me lose almost 99% of my funds and stole $389,000. Fortunately for me, Morphohack Cyber Service was able to trace this transaction and retrieve it successfully without any delay while applying its sophisticated software and malware techniques. It seems we have to be up to date with market news and stay alert always. Morphohack can be contacted via the following link: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES.COM (Whats App:+12136724092)

Metrics don't necessarily add up to the sum total of their parts I'm sure he's very talented but it feels like he's being shown horned into a carefully constructive narrative

Agreed that Dmac has the inside running for the pivot role. One Will Jordan will be the fullback too . NZ has an exciting set of backs now.

Crusaders vs Force takes: Let's talk about Sevu Reece, forgotten All Black returns

Field day for the Crusaders back 3. Team needs to work on their defensive systems though as in every match so far they let in some easy tries to their opposition. Kemaras poor goal kicking also a concern. Overall a satisfactory result for them.

Crusaders rookie earns 'other than Dupont' praise from All Blacks star

It was a cold evening when I realized I had lost everything. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Bitcoin—gone. I had fallen victim to an elaborate scam, a promise of high returns that had turned into my worst nightmare.I had always been cautious with my investments, but these scammers were professionals. They posed as a legitimate crypto investment firm, complete with a polished website, convincing testimonials, and even fake regulatory approvals. Their scheme was perfect—until it wasn’t. After weeks of trying to recover my funds on my own, filing complaints, and chasing shadows, I almost gave up. That’s when I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a company renowned for its expertise in ethical tech solutions and cryptocurrency fraud recovery. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to Galaxy Ethical Tech through their official website. Within hours, I received a response from their lead investigator, Daniel Carter. His calm yet confident tone gave me a renewed sense of hope. We’ve handled cases like yours before,” he assured me. “If the scammers haven’t moved your Bitcoin through an extensive network of tumblers, there’s a good chance we can track it. I handed over all the details—wallet addresses, transaction IDs, emails, and even chat logs with the scammers. Within 48 hours, their team of blockchain analysts got to work.Galaxy Ethical Tech used advanced blockchain forensics to trace the movement of my stolen Bitcoin. Every transaction left a digital footprint, and with their AI-driven tracking tools, they followed the money trail. It turned out that the scammers had transferred my Bitcoin through a series of crypto mixers, attempting to break the chain of traceability. However, Galaxy Ethical Tech had access to specialized de-anonymization algorithms and partnerships with global cybersecurity agencies. One breakthrough came when they identified a suspicious transaction leading to a centralized exchange. Using legal channels and law enforcement partnerships, they froze the scammer’s wallet before they could cash out.After two intense weeks, I received an email from Galaxy Ethical Tech: We’ve recovered your lost Bitcoin. Expect the full amount in your wallet within 24 hours. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I checked my wallet obsessively until, finally, my 300,000 BTC was back.You don’t know what this means to me,” I said, my voice shaking.He chuckled. “Just another day at Galaxy Ethical Tech. Stay safe, and always verify before you trust. Losing my Bitcoin was a nightmare, but it taught me valuable lessons: Never trust unsolicited investment opportunities. Always verify the legitimacy of crypto platforms. Use secure wallets and enable two-factor authentication. If scammed, act fast and contact professionals like Galaxy Ethical Tech.Thanks to their ethical approach and cutting-edge technology, I got a second chance. If you ever find yourself in a crypto scam, don’t lose hope—there are still heroes in the digital world.
