Why Pieter-Steph du Toit is a Springboks gift that keeps on giving

Springboks forward Pieter-Steph du Toit is the gift that keeps on giving, playing integral roles in the back-to-back Rugby Championship wins over the Wallabies in Australia.

The 32-year-old started in the No5 jersey in the 33-7 round one win in Brisbane after a couple of second row injuries and was outstanding in that role. He made more carries than anyone else in his team and he got his side over the gainline each time.

He disrupted the Wallabies’ lineout ball and was a monster on defence. The big man also produced a great running line to pounce on a pass to score in the 24th minute at Suncorp Stadium.

For the round two encounter in Perth, he moved back to the No7 jersey and again his work rate around the park was incredible in the 30-12 win at Optus Stadium.

After last Saturday’s match, the Springboks described his performance as “colossal” and they took to social media to highlight some of their stats on du Toit.

The Boks highlighted that he made 12 carries and racked up 86 metres while he was on the field. He also beat two defenders and won a turnover. Du Toit’s work on defence was also noteworthy. With the All Blacks now heading to South Africa for the next two rounds in The Rugby Championship, du Toit will continue to be one of the first names on Rassie Erasmus’ team sheet.

Tell you whats remarkable. This bloke is close to 7ft tall and hasn’t been pinged for a high tackle in ages. That World Cup final saw 28 tackles - not one of them high. He will leave a massive void when he retires in the Bok setup, the same way MCaw did for the ABs - albeit on the opposite side of the scrum. Best blindside on the planet (currently) and very proud to call him one of our own.

'I'm really disappointed': Former All Blacks disagree with Anzac Test outcome

Well obviously NZR is not beholden to revenue then Marshall.


And it simply never was a revenue issue. The AFL and NRL milk the ANZACs deaths and sacrifice for their own personal gain, they did not make their decisions based on “the rugby”, it’s all about taking over the day for the financial benefit. Why would NZR want to be a apart of that? We know RA would, but more than ever they are driven by the bottom line, and not the values that will be the factor in NZRs decision.


So you need to get outside you bubble Tim Horan and think about reality. First, did Australians need something to do on ANZAC day (assuming it was for the weekend celebration day proposal) or have they been brainwashed into disconnecting with their mates and connecting with the TV. What purpose does it provide other than financially essentially? Then ask yourself that same question for the communities out side of that, through Aus and then into NZ and around the pacific, world even.


We don’t need your shortshighted aussie brain calling out NZR thanks.


NZR also doesn’t want to destroy a good thing that is SRs revival amongst wider entertainment enjoyer base, and having a SR break/interruption was a big driver towards fans turning off previously. You’d have to wait at least a few years before they feel comfortable in disrupting that again. Actually having it at the beggining of 2027, World Cup year in Australia, might actually be the most sensible thing (though I actually really like Utiku’s idea). It would both drum up support and get the spotlight on rugby early in the season, helping anticipation/buildup for the big event, and more importantly, give the sides an extra game that year to get things right for a tilt at thge trophy.

Waratahs confirm brutal news for Wallabies star Max Jorgensen

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.
