New Zealand publication Stuff has reported a ‘done deal’ between Brown and SARU, with the former All Black first five set to be unveiled later this week.

He will join the Springboks as an attack coach as Erasmus rebuilds the Springboks’ coaching team following the departures of Jacques Nienaber and Felix Jones.

Brown was part of two World Cup campaigns with Japan under Jamie Joseph, the pair having a long professional relationship going back to their time at the Highlanders where they won the 2015 Super Rugby title.

The appointment of Brown adds further intrigue ahead of the Rugby Championship with Joe Schmidt joining the Wallabies as head coach and Scott Robertson taking over the All Blacks.

Brown is known as an innovative attacking genius who will bring new ideas to the Springboks in their follow up campaign having claimed back-t0-back World Cup crowns last November.

The Springboks host Ireland in July before two Tests against the All Blacks at home and two away against the Wallabies during the Rugby Championship. They play Argentina home and away to finish out the tournament.

Like I’ve said: I’m sure it wouldn’t difficult for the world champs to find world-class replacements for Felix Jones and Jacques Nienaber.

This is an inspired move if it comes to pass.

Scott Robertson, Ian Foster and Jamie Joseph all wanted Tony Brown as part of their coaching staff for the recently completed World Cup cycle and now it appears Brown will be involved in trying to take down the Scott Robertson coached All Blacks. Surely he’d be the first New Zealander to work with the Springboks. They have had some Aussies - Tim Lane, Les KIss, Frank Ponissi, Mick Bryne and most famously Eddie Jones but I think they’re yet to have a Kiwi on their staff.

Congrats Tony on becoming part of the World Champs and most successful team in RWC history. Hope you make the most of this amazing opportunity.

Debutant’s powerful start as Australia’s ‘youngins’ usher in new dawn

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum.

Rugby down under could have hit high gear with Anzac Tests

I’d have loved to see Bledisloe Cup rugby on Anzac Day.

Yes, but by now you must realize you don’t hold common opinions, let alone can think for New Zealand rugby’s best interests.

The preparation of the All Blacks is timed to the minute and introducing a test match in the middle of the Super Rugby Pacific season has the potential to throw that carefully managed system into chaos.

I don’t think that should come into it, it’s a business decision when it comes down to it. First though, it hasn’t passed the “is it OK to do?” has it.

I get that surrendering the cup isn’t something the current crop of NZR staff and governors eye with any relish, but I’ll continue to argue that it would ultimately be good for our rugby.

That view would be an oxymoron in their (most peoples) eyes.

I’ll be interested to know what fans think of seeing the proposed Anzac Day clash scuppered. Like, genuinely interested.

I hadn’t been expecting anything, but that’s likely because if it was in the spotlight to expect something, I would have expected the status quo to come out on top like every other time.

But RA’s Bledisloe proposal gives us an opportunity to wonder about how sacred the timing of this competition is and whether we couldn’t reimagine how the season is configured.

Isn’t that being determined now in conjunctin with World Rugby/every other union?

Perhaps RA’s desire to start Anazc Bledisloes from 2026 was a bit premature. Maybe 2028 or 2030 would give everyone enough time to decide how the game can be accommodated.

It could be their is reason to change in that time frame, but why on Nations League years? More pointedly, shouldn’t it be every year?

the idea that the Bledisloe Cup could become Anazc Day’s marquee sports event

I could probably easily get out of the idea these sorts of days aren’t for sport/fun to take center stage. It’s a mentality I don’t think holds everywhere already. But I’m happy to follow what those that really do care about the day (never been a dawn service person) think.
