Returning All Black Sevu Reece is in line to play his first Test since November 2022 after being named on the right wing to face England in Dunedin.

After suffering a serious knee injury in the early rounds of Super Rugby Pacific last year against the Blues, Reece missed the entire 2023 international season as he rehabbed his way back to the pitch.

Returning to action with the Crusaders this year, Reece was a revelation in a struggling side, sparking some life into their attack and coming up with big plays on defence.

He finished equal first as the competition’s leading try scorer with 12 and his Super Rugby form demanded an international return.

“It’s always special being named in an All Blacks squad, and I’m very grateful to be here,” Reece said of his selection.

“Special thanks to my mate here [Rieko Ioane], he was the one that ruled me out of last year. In case you guys were wondering.

“He’s a good mate of mine, but back to what you are talking about, it’s always special being back in here. He’s going to set me up with a try he reckons.”

All Black teammate Rieko Ioane was involved in the contact that led to Reece’s injury, but there were no hard feelings between the pair.

Ioane was happy to have Reece back in team with his energy rubbing off on the group.

“You look back it is a pretty nasty injury, it’s so good to have him back. His energy was what was missing, we’ve got a few jokers in the team with Emoni [Narawa] and Mark [Tele’a], but it’s good to have the triplets back together,” he said.

With Reece ruled out through injury, the All Blacks debuted Chiefs winger Emoni Narawa while Mark Tele’a of the Blues became one of the side’s best weapons.

Watching on from home, Reece knew it was going to be a tough challenge but had his goal set from the start that he would make it back.

“You know last year just watching, the likes of Emoni, Mark and Caleb [Clarke] all there. I just had to put my best foot forward pretty much,” Reece said.

“I knew that was going to be a massive challenge, everyone is all fighting for that 11 and 14 jersey.

“I had that mindset right from the start that I wanted to be back in here. I’m glad that everything went to plan and here I am.”

Conversations with Razor throughout the season helped Reece stay on track with the new All Blacks coach imparting his wisdom.

“It was getting my week right. You know as you grow older, I say I’m getting old being a winger, you know you start to realise you have to get your week right,” he said.

“Right from the start, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, that’s going to set you up come game time.”

Robertson said that his key message to the Crusaders winger was to “keeping backing himself” which he showed time and time again in the red and black.

“Oh look his Super form was incredible, both sides of the ball. His efforts, his consistency, he’s a Test footballer so we are really pleased to have him back,” Robertson said.

“Obviously with Tele’a, they’ve both played a bit of Test footy, they are dangerous, they cover the backfield well and they defend well. It’s a good combination.”

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOBWhatsApp +15617263697Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished.My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard.Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine.I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God.I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics.Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault.When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold.My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!

Sale Sharks refuse to give up on new stadium dream

It's a fact: Reddit has always been, is, and will be my source for crypto discussions, security tips, and market trends. Little did I know it would be the same site that helped save me from financial ruin. Some months ago, an AMA thread about Trust Geeks Hack Expert showed up. People asked them anything: from lost wallet recoveries to phishing scams; their answers sounded really detailed, transparent, and full of insight. At the time, I didn't know that their help was near. It all started with what I thought was a routine software update. I had received an e-mail from what looked like a trusted exchange, telling me to install an important patch. The email looked *legit—*matching the branding, formatting, and even the usual tone of messages I had received before. Without a second thought, I downloaded the update and installed it. Biggest mistake of my life. It froze within minutes, and then it automatically restarted. My crypto wallet was empty when I regained access. $200,000-gone. At first, I thought it was some kind of glitch, but as I dug deeper, the cold reality hit me hard: I had been hacked. The "update" was a form of malware designed to drain wallets by injecting malicious code. Panic set in, but rather than spiral, I remembered the Trust Geeks Hack Expert AMA. Their confidence in handling cases like mine had stood out to me. I rushed back to the thread, found their contact details Website https://trustgeekshackexpert.com/-- Email: trustgeekshackexpert{@}fastservice{.}com, and reached out immediately. Their response was prompt and very reassuring. They asked for every little detail I could remember-from the time of the installation of the fake update to the exact nature of the transactions I had done prior to this. They got to work, tracing the movement of my stolen funds using some advanced blockchain forensics.

Days went by, and I had my doubts, but they kept me updated. Then came a message that I was praying for; they had recovered my $200,000. It sounded like a dream come true. All stress, regret, and anger vanished at that moment. Trust Geeks Hack Expert saved not only my funds but also taught me a lesson which will never be forgotten: never trust email links. Now, I double-check every update; use cold storage for large amounts; don't click on anything that's remotely suspicious. If not for that Reddit AMA, I would have never found the only team skilled enough to turn my disaster into a comeback story.
