Watch: New Brumbies winger Toni Pulu beats 7 defenders to score improbable try

Ex-Chiefs winger Toni Pulu had the Brumbies management rubbing their hands together after their new signing scored this blistering individual try, beating no less than seven defenders as Counties lost to Taranaki 26-19.

The American-born winger defied belief on this slicing run, rolling the first defender like a Day 5 pitch before veering infield through the Taranaki defence with many diving tacklers failing to land a hand on him.

The 29-year-old who debuted with Counties in 2012, signed a 2-year deal with the Canberra based Super franchise after three seasons with the Chiefs. He will compete with Henry Speight and Lausii Taliauli for a starting spot, with Chance Peni, James Dargaville and Andrew Muirhead unconfirmed yet for next season.

If he can continue his Mitre 10 Cup form into next year, the Brumbies may have found a nice bargain.

James O'Connor, the Lions and the great club v country conundrum

I just love Andrew Mehrtens and Richie Mo’unga . The 2 greatest and most influential 10’s in Super Rugby history .In Mehrt’s case AB great. Richie was a hamstrung with having Hansen and Foster as coaches.Richie , a brilliant 10 at International level, but will come back and help the AB’s to World Cup glory.

Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

Several weeks ago, my life was irrevocably altered by a crypto romance scam a cruel amalgamation of emotional manipulation and financial exploitation. A person I believed to be my partner, whom I had met on a niche trading forum, gradually ensnared me into investing in a purportedly “groundbreaking” decentralized finance (DeFi) project. Over several months, they meticulously cultivated trust, shared fabricated returns, and even orchestrated video calls with supposed “developers” to lend credence to the scheme. By the time I discerned the truth, a staggering $215,000 of my life savings had evaporated into a labyrinth of blockchain addresses, and the individual I thought I knew had vanished without a trace. The betrayal was paralyzing; I felt not only financially devastated but emotionally shattered.As a small business owner, I am no stranger to risk, but this was a domain far beyond my comprehension. I promptly filed reports with the FTC, collaborated with cybersecurity experts, and spent countless sleepless nights poring over Etherscan, desperately attempting to trace the transactions. However, the scammers’ adept use of privacy coins and offshore exchanges rendered the trail elusive, dissipating like smoke. Each dead end deepened my despair and sense of helplessness.In the midst of this turmoil, I confided in a family friend about my harrowing ordeal. After hearing my story, he referred me to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Initially skeptical but driven by desperation, I visited their website and was struck by their no-nonsense commitment to transparency. Unlike other firms that promised miraculous recoveries, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES provided a clear,breakdown of their process: forensics, collaboration with international legal networks, and direct engagement with exchanges to freeze illicit funds.From the moment I reached out to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , their team approached my case faster . They meticulously analyzed my situation, keeping me informed at every stage of the recovery process. Ultimately, they succeeded in recovering my entire investment, restoring my financial stability and also rekindling my faith in the possibility of justice in the digital age. This experience has imparted invaluable lessons about vigilance and the importance of seeking help when navigating the dangerous currents of cryptocurrency. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES has proven to be a beacon of hope for those ensnared in the web of crypto fraud, demonstrating that recovery is indeed possible with the right support and expertise.You can reach them on whatsapp +18582759508, web at ( https://graywaretechservices.com/ )    also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservices.com)

Three pundits analyse the All Blacks hooker position

Why are you so sensitive to what I said ? My point being Samisoni is playing well and is likely to be selected. Brodie McAlister is a “good pick up “ for the Chiefs. As a Crusaders and Canterbury supporter I know that. BUT I think Rob Penney and co can feel totally vindicated in picking Ioane Moananu a head of him. Ioane has been one of the best hookers in the comp . Codie Taylor is the best around and George Bell is on his way back. Penney and co got it right.

True, but those wins would be sweeter when they happened (every 50 years). Maybe have squad evenly divided and have minimums on team (3) as Ikea suggested.

England announce assistant coaches for summer tour

Lee Blackett makes a lot of sense as a replacement for Wigglesworth - McGuigan initially makes less sense, given that el-Abd isn’t going anywhere.


However - its seemed for a while like England are a bit thin on the ground in terms of forwards coaches, given Borthwick is doubling up as head coach and lineout coach, and George Kruis is (I think?) a part time consultant.


I wonder if the idea is for McGuigan to take on some of el-Abd’s workload in order for the latter to take on some of Borthwick’s & Kruis’.

That could be fun. Reserve certain spots for certain nations. Just leave it set in stone. Whatever happens, happens. Each pod gets their own specialist coach.


1,2,3 (Wales) - 4,5,6,7,8 (England) - 9,10,12,13 (Ireland) - 11,14,15 (Scotland).


Travel separately, train together. Cut down on the costs.

Yep. 2013 deciding test was basically Wales V Australia as Fatland still couldn’t buy a win over Oz with his adopted nation.


I kind of dropped out totally after 2017 when the AB’s got robbed of a win in the 3rd test.

Glasgow hit back at Stephen Donald's 'absolutely unfounded' comments

You realise that SR had an average of just 14,910 last season? It used to be over 26,000 (2005). That not decline?


The relatively new URC is up, year on year. 9,500 (21/22), 10,800 (22/23) & 11,070 (23/24).


Jordie knows a good thing.

Farrell can adopt the points you make with good reason. There is a lot of time consumed in melting pot a big International variety of players into a system most are not familiar with. The end product will be far better having the majority of players already familiar with the system. This means those not familiar will learn more rapidly and more time can be used for match specific strategy and tactics.

The best team will be based on an embellished Irish team for these reasons.


For the record I think the principle of the Lions would be best served going forward by having even numbers from each country. The attraction then would be a musketeer type ‘one for all and all for one’ coming together which would be more fun.
