Watch: Aussie youngster Henry Palmer scores with unbelievable finish in Perth

Hometown favourites Australia were already on their way to a win over the United States on Saturday night when Henry Palmer put the icing on the cake with a spectacular finish.

Playing in front of a vibrant crowd at Perth’s HBF Park, and with the party stand just ahead of him, Palmer remained in the field of play by a matter of inches to complete the score.

USA SVNS veteran Madison Hughes was coming across in defence which left the Australian with plenty of work to do. In the end, Palmer did just enough.

Palmer didn’t seem too sure as he stood up and turned around to face his teammates, but replays told a different story entirely.

The 20-year-old’s right leg hovered above the sideline, and the other foot stayed inside the field of play as he jotted the ball down. The try was confirmed and the crowd went berserk.

“We practice it a lot but it never simulates what it can feel like in a game,” Palmer told reporters after Australia’s 31-7 win in the Cup quarter-finals.

“I didn’t feel like I scored it but I looked at the replay and obviously all the practice paid off.”

Australia, who had lost to the United States on day one in pool play, opened the scoring in the fifth minute as captain Nick Malouf ran in for the score.

Nathan Lawson crossed for a brace on either side of half-time which set the hosts up for a big win. But there’s no doubt what the highlight of the night was.

The party stand fell silent, if only for a moment, as the replay of Palmer’s try-scoring effort was shown on the big screen. Then they began to party even louder.

“When you’re out there, I didn’t realise it was a party zone,” Palmer said while holding Wally the mascot.

“It was almost in slow motion.

“Then when I saw it get confirmed I could hear the stadium erupt. It definitely felt pretty good.”

Ben Dowling scored Australia’s final try in the 13th minute, and Maurice Longbottom added three conversions as the men in gold ran away with a relentlessly dominant victory.

But it doesn’t get any easier for them. Australia will play Fiji in the second men’s Cup semi-final at 1:34 pm local time. Ireland and Argentina will go head-to-head in the other one.

Palmer insisted the Aussies will go into the knockout clash as the “underdogs” but they actually beat Fiji in their last meeting at the Cape Town SVNS last month.

The Aussies will play without fear.

“It means a lot. We didn’t get it the first game,” Palmer mentioned when asked about winning a knockout game on home soil.

“(We) came out today to prove that we can go all the way.

“Fiji, one of the world leaders, and we’re gonna have to go in as underdogs,” he added.

“But as we showed in Cape Town, we can beat anyone on our day.”

'He wants players to be able to play four positions': Former All Black critiques Robertson's strategy

I have the selection opinion of ‘chuck them in the deep end, see if they swim’. Starting Mo’unga in the third test

But you’re calling favoritism of Dmac based on common practice, thats the illogical mindset you have and which I’m pointing out.

He isn’t Mo’unga which disproves your statement

You’ve missed my point. Mo’unga is your fixation for ‘game manager’. Dmac is every bit the game manager even then, his boot has always been his best asset.

At 10 I would’ve had: Cruden, B Barrett, and McKenzie

Thats fine, but that statement you’re trying to defend is “I guess Hansen sold them the idea that McKenzie was the way forward at 10” with the implication that now, in 2023 they let Mo’unga go because Dmac he was selected there for one test in 2018.

I brought it up as I it shows that Hansen and Foster would rather have a second 10

I brought those facts up to as I believe that both Hansen and Foster didn’t really want Mo’unga at 10 and only used him at 10 when they ran out of other ideas (which they both did)

And I have shown you the real facts, that they didn’t do that. They played MO’UNGA! The very next series after Dmac was asked to play 10 due to injury, with no experience (hence why he wanted more the next year), Mo’unga was used as the alternative 10 to Barrett, playing one game, WITH MCKENZIE AT 15, of the 6 Rugby Championships. The series after that was were opinion really shifted to Mo’unga having a better partnership with Dmac at the back than Barrett did.


THOSE ARE THE ONLY RELEVANT FACTS!


You can have your theories all you like Spew, but I’m telling you they are based on you own fallacy when it comes your picture of Dmac, and therefor any correlation with Mo’unga. They have always been great together.

One rule for Europe's copycats, another for the Springboks

Individuals should exercise extreme caution in the investment landscape, as numerous fraudulent investment companies and deceptive recovery firms operate globally. The difficulty in withdrawing funds from trading accounts, or the experience of complete financial loss, is unfortunately a common occurrence. These situations often involve sophisticated schemes designed to exploit unsuspecting investors. For example, Ponzi schemes promise exceptionally high returns with minimal risk, attracting investors who subsequently lose their principal investments when the scheme collapses. Another common tactic involves fraudulent brokers who manipulate trading platforms or provide false information to induce losses. Furthermore, many victims fall prey to scam recovery firms that promise to retrieve stolen funds but instead demand upfront fees without delivering on their promises. These firms often operate anonymously and lack any legitimate regulatory oversight. MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs offers guidance and assistance to individuals who have experienced such financial losses. Our services encompass a comprehensive assessment of the situation, identification of the perpetrators, and the pursuit of legal avenues for fund recovery. This process may involve collaborating with law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and legal professionals to build a robust case for restitution. It is crucial to remember that recovering stolen funds requires patience, diligence, and a thorough understanding of the legal processes involved. While MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs strives to provide effective solutions, the success of any recovery effort is dependent on various factors, including the nature of the fraud, the availability of evidence, and the cooperation of relevant authorities. Therefore, prospective clients should approach the process with realistic expectations and a commitment to full transparency and cooperation.

One rule for Europe's copycats, another for the Springboks

Sometimes life gives you signs-you just got to be paying attention. One night, deep in an Uber ride, I struck up a conversation with the driver. The topic of Bitcoin came up, and he mentioned that he once lost his wallet containing $50,000.

I thought this would be the end of the story-something like regret, lessons learned, and moving on. But then he said something that stuck with me: "Thankfully, I found Lee Ultimate Hacker. They got everything back." I nodded, really interested but unconcerned. After all, I was so very careful with my wallet security. I thought, That's rough, but it could never happen to me. A week later, it happened to me. I lost the wallet holding $300,000 while overhauling my crypto storage system. In one wrong move, my funds became completely unreachable. I retraced passwords, checked backups, tried everything that normally works, but nothing worked. Panic kicked in. My mind was racing, trying to figure out my next move. And then, I remembered the Uber driver's story.

I didn't waste a moment and contacted Lee Ultimate Hacker. Right upon connecting to their team, I could feel my nerves calm down. They did not right away get to work but also asked questions, analyzed my situation, and explained how the recovery would go. It was next-level professionalism; they didn't just work on how to return my money but also how to make me understand what happened and how I could avoid it in the future. Finally, after what felt like the longest wait of my life, came the message that I had been waiting for: My wallet was recovered successfully.

Relief doesn't even begin to describe my feeling at that moment. That $300,000 wasn't just money; it was years of careful investments and strategic planning. And in an instant, it was all back where it belonged. In retrospect, I owe more than a five-star rating to that Uber driver. His story gave me a lifeline which I didn't know I needed. Lesson learned: Pay attention to those random conversations-you never know when they might save you a fortune.
