Ian Foster praises Cam Roigard after ‘impressive’ start to All Blacks career

When the full-time siren sounded at Twickenham on Friday night, the All Blacks didn’t have a lot to smile about. They’d lost, badly, to their arch-rivals South Africa.

Playing in front of more than 80,000 people in London, the Springboks made a statement ahead of next month’s Rugby World Cup with a 35-7 win.

But there was one shining light for the New Zealanders on one of the darkest days in the history of the All Blacks. Cam Roigard was simply sensational off the bench.

The two-Test All Black made his debut in front of almost 84,000 people at the world-famous MCG in Australia last month, but hasn’t been called upon by coach Foster since.

But back in black to play the Boks, Roigard didn’t look out of place. The rising star appears more than ready to shine at the upcoming Rugby World Cup.

Roigard is made for the big stage.

The All Blacks were beaten in all facets of the Test on Friday, but the replacement helped breathe new life into an underperforming side late in the piece.

Roigard, 22, helped the All Blacks avoid the dreaded ‘naught’ by scoring a brilliant solo try. The electric No. 22 created something special out of nothing.

The rising star made another half-break or two before the Test was done, and was both reliable and quick with his passing game as well.

Roigard is certainly a player to watch at the World Cup.

“I think he’s been impressive the way he’s trained and we said we just really wanted to get him on the park again,” coach Ian Foster told reporters on Saturday.

“We’re impressed with him at the MCG and enjoyed his training and I thought he came in really calm.

“There was a lot of young players on the park in that second half and it wasn’t easy for them to get the cohesion that they wanted but I thought he looked really calm and did what he does well.”

My Journey Through Loss, Discovery, and Recover/ Hack Savvy Tech


Since December 2024, my family and I had been planning the perfect getaway to the Lake District. After years of saving and sacrificing, we decided it was finally time to treat ourselves to a dream vacation. We were planning a trip that would cost us £15,000 in total, a considerable amount that we hoped would create lasting memories. I found an appealing holiday package offered by what seemed like a reputable travel agency online. After reviewing all the details and comparing it to other options, I felt confident and excited, so I went ahead and booked the trip on Valentine's Day, thinking it would be a special gesture for our family. I paid £5,000 as a deposit for what I thought would be the vacation of a lifetime.However, things quickly took a devastating turn. After making the payment, I received a vague email confirmation, but then, all communication stopped altogether. When I tried to get in touch with the agency, their phone lines were disconnected, and their website went offline. It was clear that something wasn’t right. I was in disbelief, but I quickly realized that my family and I had been scammed. The £5,000 I had paid, as part of the larger £15,000 cost, seemed completely lost . As a Marketing Executive, I’m usually quite cautious with online transactions, but in this case, I let my excitement and trust cloud my judgment. The emotional impact of losing such a significant amount of money, especially after planning this vacation for months, was overwhelming. My family was devastated, and I felt deeply betrayed by the fraudulent agency. I didn’t know where to turn for help.That’s when I found Hack Savvy Tech . After reading about their expertise in helping people who had fallen victim to online scams, I decided to reach out. From the very first consultation, they made me feel supported and reassured. The team immediately began investigating the fraudulent travel agency and quickly uncovered a history of scams involving the same company. Hack Savvy Tech guided me through the process of disputing the payment with my bank, Lloyds Bank, providing all the necessary evidence and documentation. They handled everything on my behalf, communicating with the bank and working through all the complexities of the dispute. Their knowledge and dedication were invaluable, and after a few weeks, I was thrilled to find out that they had successfully recovered the full £5,000 I had lost.Not only did I get back the full amount, but Lloyds Bank also provided additional compensation for the stress and inconvenience caused by the scam. Thanks to Hack Savvy Tech, I was able to rebook a legitimate holiday to the Lake District for my family. With the money we recovered, we planned the vacation we had dreamed of, and we made unforgettable memories together.What had started as a heartbreaking experience turned into a joyous and well-deserved family getaway, all thanks to the expertise and support of Hack Savvy Tech.

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

One morning I discovered our Bitcoin wallet emptied, $350,000 gone, stolen by a fake tech-education partner, I sat frozen in the cold glow of my laptop. Those funds were meant to build coding labs, buy laptops, and bring robotics workshops to kids in neighborhoods where hope often felt like a rumor. Now, the balance reads $0.00. The screen’s blue light reflected off empty desks in our community center, where laughter had once bounced during programming camps. I felt like I’d failed a thousand futures.  Then, Ms. Rivera, a retired teacher who’d turned her garage into a makeshift tech hub, found me staring at the void. Her hands, still chalk-dusted from tutoring algebra, gripped my shoulders. “You’re not done yet,” she said. That night, she posted our story in an online educators’ forum. By dawn, a flood of replies poured in, but one stood out: “Contact On WhatsApp +.1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7 OR Email. Tech cybers force recovery (@ cyber services (.)com. They’re miracle workers.”  I called, voice shaking. A woman named Priya answered, her tone steady as a lighthouse. She asked questions in plain language: “When did the money vanish?” “What’s the scammer’s wallet address?” Within hours, her team mapped the theft, a maze of fake accounts and dark web mixers. “They’re hiding your Bitcoin like needles in a haystack,” Priya explained. “But we’ve got magnets.”  Sixteen days of nerve-wracking limbo followed. Our volunteer coders, like Jamal, a college dropout teaching Python to teens, refused to cancel classes. “We’ll use chalkboards if we have to,” he said. Parents brought homemade meals, kids scribbled “THANK U” notes for labs they hoped to see. Then, on a rainy Tuesday, Priya called: “94% recovered. The kids won’t miss a thing.”I’ll never forget reloading the wallet. The balance blinked back $329,000 as Jamal whooped and Ms. Rivera dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief. Today, our labs hum with donated laptops. Kids like Sofia, an 11-year-old who codes apps to find clean water sources, light up screens with ideas that could change the world.  TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY didn’t just reclaim coins, they salvaged dreams. Priya’s team works like teachers of the digital age, turning scams into lessons and despair into grit. And to the forum stranger who tagged them: you’re the quiet hero who rewrote our story.If your mission gets hacked, call these wizards. They’ll fight in the shadows so kids like Sofia can keep lighting up the world.
