Watch: Sensational Ratuva Tavuyara offload to put the 'Tongan Bear' away for a 20 metre try

How’s this for an offload?

Waikato prop Loni Uhila was the beneficiary of a stunning pass from team mate Ratuva Tavuyara in their side’s match against Tasman on the weekend.

The game got off to a slow start last weekend between Tasman and Waikato, until the 8 minute mark.

Waikato stretched the Tasman defence from left to right and then back again, fast delivery enabled Tavuyara to find space down the right wing, casually stepping back inside to execute a jaw dropping no-look pass to Uhila.

The prop, nicknamed the ‘Tongan Bear’, then sprinted down the line to score.

The game was also notable too for the fact that Zac Guildford got his first try for the Mooloos since returning to provincial rugby.

Ultimately Waikato would go on to lose in a thrilling finish, 31-29.

HOW TO HIRE A CERTIFIED CRYPTO RECOVERY EXPERT

I'm thrilled to share my story because this cyber security firm helped me get my cryptocurrencies and stolen digital money back. Their skilled work and outstanding service have absolutely impressed me. Before I went to them with my issues and gave them all the information I needed, I never imagined that I would be able to receive my money back. I was astounded when it took them 48 hours to get my money. For all difficulties pertaining to hacking, digital funds recovery, bitcoin recovery, or cyber-security, I wholeheartedly commend Wizard Larry Recoveries.WhatsApp... +44 73 11 (146) 749Email...

Lyon rejoint le Racing 92 en quart de finale de la Challenge Cup

I can rewire a human brain, course through the most sensitive neural pathways, and restore life with steady hands and a sharp scalpel. But it would appear none of those prepared me for the horror of a hardware wallet that had decided it wanted to self-destruct. It had been years since my Ledger device had sat comfortably in my drawer, unvexed and pristine, like a relic from my earlier Bitcoin investment days. Then came the fateful evening when I decided to switch it on just to check on my stash. That is when I was greeted by an error message so incomprehensible that it could as well have been written in ancient hieroglyphics. At first, I kept calm. I had been in life-and-death situations before, so surely, I could troubleshoot a problem with my wallet. Rebooting? Nothing. Firmware reset? Even worse. With every attempt, my precious $680,000 worth of Bitcoin seemed to slip further from my grasp. The real panic set in when I realized that I had stored my recovery phrase somewhere "safe"-so safe that even I couldn't remember where it was. Hours of frantic searching, multiple YouTube tutorials, and a last-ditch effort to reach out to Ledger support resulted in one grim conclusion: "Your funds may be irretrievable." As a neurosurgeon, I’m used to bad news—but this? Unacceptable. That is when I discovered TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY. A little skeptical I was- if they couldn't help me, a manufacturer of the device, then how would anyone else? I had nothing to lose. The moment I reached out to them, I knew I had done the right thing: I was professional, transparent, and confident that they could recover my lost Bitcoin. They performed some kind of digital wallet emergency surgery, getting everything back in six days. Through what can only be described as magic, by way of forensic techniques, they bypassed corruption and extracted my private keys and every Satoshi, to boot. If it stopped there, that would've been great; then they walked me through how to properly secure my assets going forward more "too safe to find" backups. I may be the expert in the operating room, but when it comes to resuscitating a dead crypto wallet, TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY is your team on call. Cold storage has failed; don't try to self-operate, just get the pros in before your Bitcoin flatlines.

Geoff Parling: An Englishman roasting the Lions?

“But I am quite happy to watch a three-all draw.”

Spoken like a true Pom.


This should have been one of his citizenship questions. Do you like to play exciting rugby ? If not, you’re out. I would suggest he is an ill fit for the Wallabies.


Rodda would be a better lineout coach for the Wallabies, if not playing.

Yeas of course you would love for him to be All Black quality.


He’s not going to be a 7ns player though, so it wouldn’t harm him to play for another nation until he thinks or is told he’s reach that level.

Exactly. Finau is a part of the Chiefs’ bomb squad that has turned multiple games around in their favour. He definitely has the goods. Just needs to improve his discipline, which he has been doing so far this year, unlike last year.

I’m a huge fan of Pollock. The hype is real. Apart from this hype, which is extremely silly.


He’s a long way off being a Lions test starter.

'He isn't playing well': Former All Blacks question Scott Barrett's form

There was a crazy stat in last years Rugby Championship - players being tackled by 3 players at one time, Ardie topped the count with ~3x more than the next player.


I would be very worried if Razor is using Ardie to do grunt work, what an absolute waste…Breakdown team hit the nail on the head around Ardie floating in the wider channels and how dangerous that could be for the opposition.

Geoff Parling: An Englishman roasting the Lions?

Thanks Nick. Sounds like he’s enjoying the role. Is he contracted till 27? Sorry if you already wrote that in the article.


Swain and Williams are looking good but Frost and Skelton does appeal. From what Parling says Skelton might be brought home fle the Lions.

Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

Online trading can be risky, even for the most cautious investors. A few months ago, I bought a DAO token with 540 SOL after thorough research. The token had a good community and appeared secure, but a few hours later, it dropped to zero, and I lost everything.

I didn't give up and searched for ways to recover my stolen crypto, finding Crypto Pandemic Hunter page. I contacted them and received a quick response. They investigated my case and used advanced software to trace the stolen funds. Within four days, I got my SOL back, and others did too. I'm grateful for their service and urge fraud victims to reach out to cryptopandemichunter@consultant.com.

Thanks. In metres gained that is what people tend to overly focus on. But I think Scott Barrett is playing well. for the Crusaders. The form lock in the country is Antonio Shalfoon , his Crusaders team mate.That takes the pressure off.
