Wasps hold on to England Saxon Miller

Rob Miller

Wasps have retained versatile back Rob Miller, who has signed a new deal, becoming the tenth first-team player to commit to the Club in recent months.

The all-round clubman has put pen to paper on his fourth Wasps contract, as he prepares to become a Club centurion in the coming weeks, having amassed 98 appearances which have included 19 tries.

The 29-year-old, who usually stars at full back, has featured 16 times this season and has recently proved an able deputy at fly half in the absence of Lima Sopoaga, Jimmy Gopperth and Billy Searle.

The England Saxon has also shown his prowess from the kicking tee, having kicked 100 per cent of his nine shots at goal in recent weeks.

In his earlier days, Miller began his professional career in the Newcastle Falcons Academy while also having represented his country at U16, U18 and U20 levels.

He then made the switch to Sale Sharks where he enjoyed four highly successful seasons, finishing as the Premiership’s top tryscorer in 2011/12 and making more than 100 senior appearances before switching to Wasps in 2014.

Wasps Director of Rugby Dai Young said: “Rob is a player you can always count on to play a role in the team, wherever it might be, and he has been fantastic stepping in at fly half recently.

“The culture is something that is very important here at Wasps and Rob is a fantastic character around the place. He’s liked by everyone, always has a smile on his face and his work ethic and professionalism are second to none.

“We’re delighted he’s re-signed and having yet another one of our more experienced players committing to the Club shows what we’ve been able to build here in terms of some consistency and continuity.”

Miller added: “Wasps has become a home away from home for me and I’ve met some amazing people in the last five seasons.

“I always love pulling on the Black and Gold and like everyone else signing new deals with the Club, I want to help us push on and compete at the top with the very best.”

URC teams aren't proving Stephen Donald wrong

BREAKING: NZ Rugby Launches National "Rebuilding Era" Hotline for Devastated Fans Calls triple after another loss to a Tier 1 nation with a functioning lineout.

In a bold move aimed at tackling a growing national crisis, New Zealand Rugby has unveiled a new 0800-REB-UILD hotline to offer emotional support to fans still trying to cope with the fact that the All Blacks are no longer the indestructible force of yesteryear.

Following yet another "promising" performance that ended in tears and post-match excuses, the hotline will be staffed by former All Blacks who’ll gently whisper “It used to be better” and play reruns of Richie McCaw highlights to soothe callers through the pain.

From Dynasty to "Developing Nation"?

Once feared like a Haka in a silent room, the All Blacks have now become the international equivalent of a banana peel — occasionally threatening, but mostly stepped over by teams with better coaching and a functioning scrum.

Rugby pundits are beginning to ask the real questions:

Should New Zealand be classified as a Tier 1.5 nation?

Is “We’re building for 2027” the new national anthem?

And most importantly: How many more assistant coaches do they need before they stop blaming the weather?

Fans Feeling the Burn

Die-hard Kiwi fans, long used to smugly reminding the world of their World Cup count, now find themselves angrily Googling the phrase "how to handle sporting mediocrity." Even the most loyal supporters have been caught muttering the unthinkable: “Maybe South Africa is just better now.”

In response, social media has been flooded with support messages like:

“At least you’re not Australia.”

“Remember 2011?”

“Hey, there’s always the Crusaders... oh wait.”

A Look to the Future (Or Just the Past Again)

New Zealand Rugby has reportedly asked Peter Jackson to create a new fantasy trilogy titled "The Return of the Glory Days," with Sam Cane playing Frodo — a brave but slightly out-of-depth hero wandering through the Northern Hemisphere hoping someone still respects him.

Meanwhile, the NZRU has committed to innovation, announcing a new strategy based on ancient Maori wisdom: when the canoe is sinking, blame the oars.

Conclusion: Still Dangerous, But Not Scary

Let’s be clear — the All Blacks can still turn up on their day. But these days, "on their day" feels more like a national holiday than a regular occurrence. Until then, enjoy the trolling, stay humble (unlike them in 2015), and remember — world rugby is more fun when New Zealand isn't always winning.

Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

It started as an ordinary Tuesday. I was checking my Bybit portfolio when an email popped up that looked like a legitimate alert from the exchange, warning of suspicious activity. Without thinking, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. The moment I hit submit, a sinking feeling hit me. Within minutes, my Bitcoin wallet was completely drained.Losing 3.2 BTC, worth nearly $200,000 at the time, wasn’t just a financial blow. It felt like a personal violation. I couldn’t believe I had fallen for a phishing scam. I spent days digging through forums, contacting Bybit support, and even filing a police report. But the responses were disheartening and repetitive. Crypto transactions are irreversible. Scam victims rarely recover their funds. The helplessness was crushing.I barely slept. I kept replaying that moment over and over in my head. Why did I click the link? Why didn’t I double-check? The guilt and frustration consumed me. Friends tried to be supportive, but most didn’t understand the emotional and financial weight of what had happened. I had always been cautious with security. Yet in one distracted moment, everything disappeared.Weeks later, while scrolling through Reddit threads on crypto scams, I stumbled upon several mentions of GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . At first, I was skeptical. It sounded too good to be true. But the testimonials felt genuine, and I was desperate. I decided to reach out.Their response was fast, professional, and surprisingly empathetic. They didn’t promise miracles. Instead, they explained their method: tracing blockchain transactions, identifying potential exchange cash-outs, and working with legal and crypto entities to freeze and recover funds.I sent them everything I had wallet addresses, transaction records, screenshots and waited. Just a few days later, I received an email that left me speechless. They had successfully traced and recovered all of my stolen Bitcoin.I couldn’t believe it. After being told repeatedly that the funds were gone forever, here they were, back in my wallet. It felt like waking up from a nightmare. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn’t just help me get my money back. They restored my sense of security, my trust, and my peace of mind.I share my story now in case someone else out there is feeling the same panic and hopelessness I once felt. There is help. And sometimes, there is even a second chance.You can reach them on whatsapp +18582759508, web at ( https://graywaretechservices.com/ )    also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservices.com)
