Why would you stay in the SH, make no money, play in empty stadiums for ignorant supporters who specialise only in spewing shite online (when they even bother to show up) for slave wages


Or you can play in the best league in the world.


Pretty easy choice

Exeter look to Charlie Chapman to boost scrum-half options

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB

WhatsApp +15617263697

Fine 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!

Can Samoa and Tonga ever become contenders when their top talent is skimmed?

I suspect the opportunity to ply your trade against the best of the best for the ABs is a big part of the decision process. Perhaps bigger than nationality if you have multiple options. So I can see why young very talented players take this route. If you play for the islands then world cups are really your only big stage. It is chicken and egg, but ensuring the island nations can play top tier teams or be part of a competition like the rugby championship would be a massive step towards retaining talent so that they mprove.

'Real leader' Taine Plumtree confirms Welsh club future

I was introduced to crypto investment by an investor I met on Telegram. I liked the program and decided to join the investment platform. At the beginning, I invested and made profits which I continued doing until the website disappeared. I could not withdraw any funds before the incident happened but luckily a friend of mine that works with FBI introduced me to ( WALLET CONNECT (AT) USA (.) C O M) WhatsApp ‪+(1 (412) 225‑ 5918 ) and they came just in time and assisted me to recover all the money. They did a great job and they were very professional to work with. It's quite unbelievable but it happened. We got our money back through their system assistance.

Why NZR's Ineos settlement may be the most important victory they'll enjoy this year

I think it largely affects the forwards more than the backs. The physicality in Japan is known to be a BIG down grade from all the other top club leagues, and I think Brodie Retallick after his stint there is a pretty good point maker here.

Then the veterans end up getting worse as they play against lower quality sides. Do you remember how rubbish Retallick was when he came back from Japan?

Why NZR's Ineos settlement may be the most important victory they'll enjoy this year

Think about how much NZR would lose if the All Blacks were allowed to be selected from overseas. Next to no one would voluntarily stay in SRP since overseas contracts are so lucrative. Then the quality of SRP drops, and nobody bothers to watch it anymore because its rubbish. Finally, they get a sh!te new TV contract since viewership is down, which prevents them from signing any players to play for the ABs, and boom, the All Blacks are now at the beck and call of overseas clubs and unions.


Where are you getting this 15-30k number from? Who’s to say its not been just phone calls? Come on man, use your brain. At most they spent 5k in negotiation, which is chump change to an organistation like NZR.

French bid to poach 109kg 17-year-old dual-code Aussie prospect Heinz Lemoto

french clubs “poach”, in the past english clubs “gave fabulous opportunities” 😁

If i’m not wrong a 17yo player can’t play a top14 game. But he can already have a pro contract. The Toulouse academy has a great reputation if he’d choose as his former australian colleague but the choice of top14 is a big step, he might choose Premiership or even simpler to get a better contract at home 😉

I agree it needs looked at. Most clubs and nations are now identifying talent long before they are capped and directly influencing what country they represent. Not all teams obviously but it's certainly a trend.


It used to be that an electric 22 years old winger would announce himself for the ABs by scoring on debut in the July tests. Announce themselves on the big stage playing for their country. Nowadays if they’re scouted at 14 or 15 and developed elsewhere, you've no idea where they may end up.


Most young talent I see nowadays I have to Google them to get an idea of what international Jersey they might even wear.


The only thing that keeps the discussion on Ice is probably the boks. They don't go overseas for talent and their RWC record speaks for itself. On the flipside most of their talent plays club rugby outside of SA which is another can of worms.
