The return of the great Portia Woodman-Wickliffe headlines the announcements, with the Black Ferns and Black Ferns Sevens icon named to start for the Blues on her familiar left wing, forming a truly world-class wing duo with Katelyn Vahaakolo on the right.

Both debutants and established Black Ferns alike will be eager to impress from the outset as the World Cup year gets underway and the selection race takes flight.

Wow Portia Woodman at 10!

What started as a laid-back night, chatting in a crypto Discord channel, quickly became one of the worst nights of my life. I had been discussing some investment strategies, giving and receiving some tips on trading, ups and downs of the market, when somebody dropped a link into the chat of what looked like a great new trading platform. The chat was hyped, and without thinking twice, I clicked it.

Big mistake. The moment I logged in with my credentials, my stomach just dropped. Something didn't feel right. Within minutes, I saw an unauthorized transaction that had siphoned my Bitcoin wallet of $200,000, and before I could even comprehend what was happening, it was gone. It was as if my financial future had been stolen right before my eyes. Panic set in, and a wave of regret washed over me. How could I, someone who prided themselves on being cautious, fall for such an obvious scam?

I started to post frantically in the Discord group, seeking any advice. And then a guy mentioned the name Trust Geeks Hack Expert. He talked highly of them, saying they had already dealt with similar cases and that they recovered lost crypto in scamming and hacking. It was a long shot, but at this point, I had nothing left to lose. I reached out immediately, and from the very first interaction, I knew I was in good hands. The team was calm, professional, and most importantly, understanding of my frustration. They assured me that my situation wasn't hopeless and that they had advanced tools to track and recover lost funds.

But this was the nail-biting period, and as promised, they pulled off what was seemingly impossible. They recovered my Bitcoin, and I got back access to my wallet. Relief was an understatement; from total despair to absolute triumph in a moment, thanks to them. Yet, they didn't stop there.

Trust Geeks Hack Expert also helped me fortify my digital security, teaching me how to recognize red flags, secure my wallet better, and avoid similar scams in the future. I’ve since become an advocate for crypto safety, warning others in my Discord group about the dangers of phishing links and shady platforms.

If there is one thing that I have learned, it's that one lousy click doesn't have to equate to financial ruin. Trust Geeks Hack Expert gave me a second chance, and for that, for assistance, visit Email: info@trustgeekshackexpert.com (TeleGram:: Trustgeekshackexpert) & what's A p p  +1 7 1 9 4 9 2 2 6 9 3

Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible.telegram (@)techcyberforc  texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)
