Lock Tristyn Cook will make his debut from the bench in the 19 jersey.

“The challenge against the Hurricanes is what we have come to expect in this competition, and we expect nothing less against the Brumbies who have led the way for Australian teams in this competition for many years,” head coach Vern Cotter said.

“We must continue to improve week-on-week in every aspect of our game. What is clear this year is that every team is stepping up for the whole 80 minutes.

“We showed improvement and when we got on the front foot, we showed that we have game-winners capable of breaching any defence.”

HOW I HIRED GEARHEAD ENGINEERS TO GET BACK MY STUCK FUNDS FROM  TRADING PLATFORM


Regaining funds from investment losses or fraud can be challenging and may require time. One has to overcome the fear of being swindled once again through the internet, peruse through the recommended service providers to get a competent one, then hurdle through the negotiations trying to select the best candidate. As someone who has gone through this tireless process, I understand the agony involved. I lost a huge sum of money to online investments and even went through a harder challenge looking for ways to get my money back. This was until I engaged with GearHead Engineers, a team of cyber security service providers who actually understood and knew what they were doing. Our interaction was straight to the point, they gave detailed explanations, and specific timelines to when certain activities would take place. It only took them less than 3 days to regain the money I lost to the fraudulent traders. I am more than delighted to share their contacts to the reader to help you save the time and resources trying to look for a professional service provider:

I am sharing my cautionary tale in the hopes of preventing others from falling prey to online investment scams. Last year, I stumbled upon an enticing ad on Google promising unusually high returns. Despite initial reservations, I was swayed by the polished website and glowing testimonials. Unfortunately, this led to a staggering loss of €245,000.

As the reality of the scam set in, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about how to recover my funds. Determined to find a solution, I began researching legal avenues for recourse. That's when I discovered Hacket Recovery Expert, a service touted for its expertise in recovering stolen funds.

I approached them with skepticism, but their prompt and professional response alleviated my concerns. Within 27 hours, they had successfully located my stolen funds. What's more, they collaborated with local authorities to bring the perpetrator to justice.

This experience has taught me invaluable lessons about the importance of thorough research and due diligence in online investments. If you've fallen victim to a similar scam, I highly recommend seeking professional help from Hacket Recovery Expert. Their dedicated team streamlined the recovery process, providing a sense of closure and relief.

To anyone who has lost funds to online scams, I urge you to contact Hacket Recovery Expert. Their expertise and efficiency can help you recover your losses and bring perpetrators to justice.

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

My father, a retired schoolteacher, has always been cautious with his money. He worked hard his entire life to build a modest retirement fund and trusted that it would support him in his golden years. So, when he told me about an “exclusive” investment opportunity in cryptocurrency that promised high returns, I was immediately suspicious. But he was convinced it was legitimate—after all, the website looked professional, and the salesperson had been so persuasive over the phone. Despite my warnings, he invested 15,000 USD of his savings. At first, everything seemed fine. He received regular updates and saw “profits” reflected in his online account. But when he tried to withdraw some money, the website suddenly went offline, and the phone number was disconnected. My father was devastated. He had been scammed, and his hard-earned savings were gone. I knew I had to act quickly. I reached out to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY, a company I had read about online that specialized in tracing online fraud. I explained the situation, providing them with all the details: the fake website, the transaction records, and even the emails from the scammer. The team at TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY was incredibly understanding and assured me they would do everything possible to help. Using their expertise in digital forensics, they traced the scammer’s digital footprint and identified the offshore account where the money had been transferred. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to freeze the account and recover the funds. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the 15,000 USD to my father. The relief on his face was indescribable. Not only had TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY restored his savings, but they had also given him peace of mind. They even took the time to educate him on how to spot investment scams in the future, empowering him to protect himself. This brought our family closer together. My father now understands the importance of skepticism and due diligence, and I’m grateful to TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY for their incredible work. They didn’t just recover money, they restored my father’s faith in justice and gave him a second chance to enjoy his retirement.EMAIL..Techcybersforcerecovery(@)cyberservices(.)comWHATSAPP... + 1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7
