WXV: ‘Every minute contributes to the betterment of each player'

LANGLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA - OCTOBER 05: Aoife Wafer of Ireland is tackled by Caroline Crossley and Justine Pelletier of Canada during the WXV 1 Pool match between Canada and Ireland at Langley Events Center on October 05, 2024 in Langley, British Columbia.

With the third and final weekend of WXV tournaments about to kick off, we are in for yet another weekend-long feast of rugby as the time zones offer game time from Friday evening all the way through to the small hours of Sunday morning.

There are some feisty matchups across all three divisions with WXV2 almost being the hardest to call. Australia and Scotland have both been chomping at the bit for this final showdown and top-of-the-table clash.

A win for either side will see them lift the trophy. (With Australia currently two points ahead Scotland will have to win with a bonus point to avoid any mathematical challenges to the result.) It’s all to play for and all bets are off!

    ‘This Energy Never Stops’ – One year to go until the Women’s Rugby World Cup

    With exactly one year to go until Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025 kicks off
    in Sunderland, excitement is sweeping across the host nation in anticipation of what
    will be the biggest and most accessible celebration of women’s rugby ever.

    With almost a certain bonus point win on the cards for Samoa against the inexperienced yet dogged Madagascar, they will be relying on Fiji to knock Spain off the top spot if they want to get their hands on the WXV3 title.

    Having narrowly missed out on the title to Ireland last year, Spain will be determined not to let this one slip through their fingers, but having a team like Fiji standing in your way, especially with wounds to heal from their loss to Samoa last week, again, bets are off!

    The top-tier competition is as heated as the rest. France and New Zealand: a match up for the ages. Both teams will be eyeing up the other’s shaky form and hoping they can force it to be replicated on Saturday.

    The last time these two met at a World Cup, France missed a kick in the final moments of the World Cup semi-final that would have sent them through to the final for the first time ever. A few inches of difference and history would have been written in a very different way.

    With England having lost only one game out of their last 50 (that RWC final that New Zealand sneaked into) they are the team that are truly steamrolling through women’s rugby. If anyone has a chance of putting a stop to it, it is Canada.

    Full of confidence, connection, energy and experience they will be licking their lips at having a crack at the best team in the world on their home soil. Let’s hope BC Place can rally to fill the stands for some well-earned home support in Vancouver.

    Admittedly, I thought that this might be the first weekend that both Ireland and USA might be targeting for their first win of the tournament. At least, that’s what those of us on the outside thought until Ireland ripped the rug from underneath World Champions, New Zealand, and picked up a W straight away in week one.

    USA and Ireland haven’t seen each other in some time, but with Ireland’s momentum gathering speed all the time, it will take a special performance for the USA to bring the green wave to a grinding halt. Ireland has the opportunity to finish in second position, a feat we may have thought unthinkable only a year ago when they lifted the WXV3 trophy by the skin of their teeth.

    It’s been great so far. Seeing the women’s game covered extensively. Having people talk about the games and get to know their favourite players a bit more. Having our timelines filled with clips of fantastic tries, moves and momentous moments for emerging nations in the women’s game.

    Having someone like Siya Kolisi use his platform to get the message out to his own fan base to come and support the Women Boks in Cape Town. (He is an amazing advocate for our game and not only was he seen supporting the South African girls in training and on match day, he was out chatting to players from all the WXV2 teams. He seemed to be a bit starstruck by Scotland’s Jade Konkel who is a firefighter on the side of being an international rugby player, and offered her massive praise.

    Although the attendance across the board is definitely something that needs to be addressed for the future of this competition, it is a start. The more the quality and coverage of the game grows, the more the fans will come. And if there’s one thing that is going to drive the quality of this tournament more than anything else it is: Game time!

    Game time! Game time! Game time! Show-stopping, heart-racing, adrenaline-filled, high-intensity, mentally demanding, physically challenging game time! Every minute of these tours, both on and off the pitch, contributes to the betterment of each player, coach and staff involved.

    This is, after all, why WXV was created by World Rugby. More opportunities for more countries and players to play international Test-level rugby. So far, it has done exactly what it said on the tin.

    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.
