Lukhan Tui makes decision for November tour

Back-rower Lukhan Tui has confirmed that he will not return to international rugby and play on the Wallabies' upcoming tour of Europe.
Tui left the team after Australia's defeat against Argentina in September, after losing his stepfather in the same week.
Tui told the Wallabies he was to take the rest of the year off to support and be with his family, though head coach Michael Cheika hoped he would return and kept the door open.
"I’ve spoken to him and am trying to cajole him back into the saddle because I think it’s good for him and for his family that he gets back to doing what he loves," Cheika told Fox Sports last week. "But it’s a personal issue and he’ll make a decision this week around whether he’s going to be available for the tour."
In a social media post, Tui confirmed that he will stay in Australia to be with his family in what he referred to as 'the easiest decision' to make.
"I've always been & forever will be #FamilyOverEveything, hence the choices I've made," he wrote.
"Stepping away from the game of rugby for the remainder of the year is a decision that is for my siblings and for my Mum. Rugby will always be there & at the end of the day it is only just a game.
"Because there's honestly no atmosphere, experience, money or jersey that could ever separate me from doing what I love and that's looking after my family," Tui said.
Part of Tui's decision to walk away stemmed from an incident following the match against Argentina where the 22-year-old was confronted by fans in the stands who sparked an altercation.
The Wallabies next play New Zealand in the third Bledisloe Test in Japan later this month before tests in Wales, Italy and England in November.

Yeah, I don’t really get it either.
The teams will need to be more competitive at some stage as I’m sure it won’t be cost effective before long. It’s a lot of money and resources they have to pump into it just to field teams, let alone compete.
Even with the Boks only focus being on RWC’s, the euro comps would be a great way to develop test players in the first 1-3 years of a RWC cycle.
Go to commentsIt'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.
