Dan Carter is close to securing some more silverware after taking Japanese club Kobelco Steelers to the Top League grand final.

The former All Black scored 21 points in Saturday’s semi-final as his Steelers beat Toyota Verblitz 31-19.

Carter scored a try, kicked four penalties and added two conversions to guide the side to the final.

Former Highlanders utility Richard Buckman started at fullback for Kobe, with former Highlander and current Sunwolves five-eighth Hayden Parker on the bench.

Carter is in his first season with Kobe, joining the side following a successful stint with French club Racing 92.

The 36-year-old won a pair of World Cups with the All Blacks – who he represented 112 times – before heading offshore in 2016.

Carter’s Steelers will now meet the Suntory Sungoliath the grand final next weekend.

Suntory were saved by a penalty in extra time from former Wallaby Matt Giteau to beat Yamaha Jubilo 28-25.

Giteau won the match with a kick from 42 metres out after set up a pair of tries for Seiya Ozaki.

“We only got told it would be golden point when we were in the huddle [before extra time started],” Suntory’s Joe Wheeler – a former Highlander – told Kyodo News.

Giteau and Carter came onto the international scene within a year of each other and will next weekend add another chapter to a lengthy rivalry.

A Top League title would be another addition to a vast trophy cabinet for Carter. He has won three Super Rugby titles, two Top 14 titles, two World Cups.

Vern Cotter reflects on his side's recent turnaround in form

TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
