Tigers confirm Danny Wilson role 'effective immediately'

Great to see a true expert who knows that elapsed time is just as important as ball in play time 😂 Less opportunity to rest.

He's gone from geography teacher to professor hasn't he?

Good interviewer too!

I’m surprised Cole doesn’t get filled in more often with all his antics!

One of the best interviews I’ve read in some time, GP comes across as a real thinking man’s coach. Already had the view that the Lions tour wasn’t going to be the walkover many expect but with coaches like that and, by the sound of it, SL to come, it might just prove to be a proper contest after all!

What is Venter supposed to do……he’s lying on the ground being choked by someone he can’t see. Obviously he’s going to try to fend off the choker - hardly a unique reaction. If he’s sanctioned it will be grossly unjust, but that’s what rugby has come to these days. And why is nothing said about Cole choking him around the neck, or is that OK because he’s English and Venter is South African?

I didn’t ask about his contract, but I’m assuming he’d be done until the RWC in 2027, like Eoin Toolan. I hope the WBs keep him.

The great thing with Williams is that they can move him to 6 if Skelton plays 4, and that gives he WB a very imposing back five forwards.

I think the WB set piece is fast emerging as one of the strengths of their game DM. Esp if they can include Will Skelton ofc. And get Taniela humming again!

Picking an in-form British & Irish Lions XV 1 month out from squad reveal

Will Greenwood didn’t receive a single Lions test cap until 2005. Richard Webster never received a Lions test cap.

Dai Young got capped much sooner, but that actually has no bearing on whether Pollock will start or not. They are different players!

George Skivington talks up 'relative unknown's England chances

I Could Hardly Breathe! Months of tireless fundraising had finally come through for my small nonprofit, and we had $300,000 in Bitcoin to supply food, shelter, and medical aid to refugees fleeing war. That fund was hope, a future for families who had no other place to turn. It all fell apart in an instant. Our treasurer, a man I'd trusted like a brother, vanished overnight and took the entire fund with him. I was heartbroken. The weight of the people who were depending on us pressed against my chest. I could hardly breathe. I looked at my screen, powerless to do anything as the blockchain ledger confirmed my worst nightmare, the funds had been moved through a series of wallets, vanished into thin air.

Sleepless and remorseful, I consulted a crisis management expert in a desperate phone call. With the calm, panic-slashing tone of her voice, she spoke GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES . Her confidence was the sort that spoke of seen miracles. At that straw of hope, I grasped and called them immediately.

From that first call, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES treated my case like those refugee lives were in their own hands. Their lead investigator explained their approach, tracing transactions through blockchains, monitoring wallet activity, and leveraging relationships with international exchanges. They explained it all in plain terms, never once making me feel dumb for my ignorance. They understood both the technical complexity and the human stakes.

There were daily progress reports. They followed the laundering path our treasurer had attempted, following the trail through the decentralized exchanges and privacy-focused mixers. Each breakthrough was like a heartbeat resuscitating a stilled chest. On the nineteenth day, they called with the words I had scarcely dared to hope: "We got it back."

I got down on my knees and wept. $300,000 was safely recovered to our nonprofit wallet. But GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES didn't hesitate. They guided us through implementing enhanced security measures, such as multi-signature wallets, cold storage solutions, and rigorous internal oversight. They even advised us on vetting future financial officers.

Our mission is stronger today than ever. Refugee families are still being assisted, and I sleep well knowing our funds are secure. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES not only retrieved our Bitcoin, they restored my faith in resiliency and human kindness.

'Competitive culture': Tana Umaga on what makes Moana Pasifika succeed

Required consistency for what? Isn’t this topic about being able to put in the effort to back up a win with another one? Do you think they’re playing well enough to go all the way if they can just be consistent or something?

Koro Teeps 3 hours ago

McMillan has consistency used 2-4 All Blacks as second half impact players in every game this season as well. I think Simon Parker is a very good player as well. Big, abrasive and a worker. Reminds me of Liam Squire.

Four of the best Super Rugby Pacific performers from round eight

Canes wider squad last year. I’d expect two or three Chiefs props to leave at end of season, hopefully he will replace one on a FT contract. Last years NZU20 prop Will Martin should be another.

Yeah would have to be a Lunch game for NZR to accept Perth as a destination. Would be best for Perth’s Dawn brigade though anyway so thats fine.

How New Zealand’s Michaela Brake emulated Michael Jordan in Singapore

As a financial strategist, I usually make smart decisions with my money. I was excited to upgrade my tech and ordered $8,000 worth of Apple products from what seemed to be a legitimate online store, paying with Bitcoin. After weeks of no updates, I became suspicious and clicked a link to file a complaint, which wiped out all my Bitcoin. I realized the store was a scam and felt helpless. I then found Ruder Cyber Tech Sleuths and contacted them. Their professionalism and empathy impressed me from our first conversation. They diligently worked to identify the scammer's wallet and kept me updated through the process. Thanks to their expertise, they successfully recovered all my lost Bitcoin. Their commitment to helping me not only brought back my funds but also my peace of mind. I highly recommend Ruder Cyber Tech Sleuths for their outstanding service and dedication to clients.

Rugby down under could have hit high gear with Anzac Tests

Oh, OK. Nice, some pretty detailed numbers. 3 mil to put on a test aye.

Yeah I wasn’t saying NZR threw away that much for themselves, just meant in general, for the game. So two million, 1 to NZR and 1 to it’s clubs (sure private business/companies), yeah, I can see where Horan’s coming from now, that’s about 50/50. I can also understand how 1mil might not be enough to make all the other bits worth it, and the clubs might have flat out rejected it (didn’t want 200k).

Thanks for enlightening me.

I was actually querying if they had the required consistency despite recent better form. They may have but still need to continue. At the crossroads really.

Yeah but if the 12million is not actually money, but say Perth saying they’ll put the money into facilities for the Force, and youth programs and fields around the State, along with plenty of other ways they can help RA, and in actually fact were saying the offer to NZR is a very equal one, for a few years, what then would be flawed about the concept?

Spew has given some very straight forward solutions to possible sticking points (raised by posters anyway), those aren’t changing your mind? A fun break to SR where players can express themselves after a few months of preseason and all the anxiety of the first month of competitive games, in say a match similar to NBA’s All Star games, would be a great idea imo.

Oh right, makes sense. So what is the 12 million for then, and why should NZR get a share of it, seen as you’d been saying not getting some of that was why the deal didn’t get over the line right?
