Black Fern and World Cup hero Ruby Tui has made a decision on her playing future after taking a break since last November’s World Cup victory.

Tui didn’t feature in this year’s Super Rugby Aupiki or link back up with the Black Ferns Sevens team like many of her World Cup-winning teammates, instead turning to commentary while she weighed up her future.

The 31-year-old joined Sky Sport NZ’s The Breakdown to announce a new two-year deal with NZR which includes a sabbatical which will be taken immediately.

“It’s a massive day for me and my family,” she told Sky Sport’s The Breakdown.

“I’m really happy and I couldn’t have done it without New Zealand coming out and supporting women’s rugby.

“There’s been offers and it took me ages to sit there and think about what makes me happy.

“Me and NZR were going back and forth for a long time and in the end, thank goodness, we came to a space we agreed on.”

Following last year’s magical World Cup run she was approached by many, even for a code switch with the NRLW, which she revealed was a very tempting offer.

“Do I go to the UK, do I go to Asia, Japan, China? I had some massive opportunities. I’ll be honest, NRLW sent through a contract that looked mighty, mighty fine.”

Tui’s signature comes with the news that New Zealand will host the new WXV tournament later this year with powerhouses England and France.

England captured a Grand Slam Six Nations title over France in front of a record crowd at Twickenham over the weekend.

The top six women’s teams will compete in the WXV which will give the World Champion Black Ferns the chance to play the very best.

“The top three Six Nations teams are coming down and we’re going to play in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, right here in Aotearoa,” Tui told The Breakdown.

“That’s huge. That’s never happened before.

“Imagine the top six nations coming over to tour just for the All Blacks. It’s a really, really exciting part of our game.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
