INSIDE

Every time Greg Donaldson’s phone rang yesterday morning, his day got a little worse.

Most of the calls were from workers reporting a theft. There were 11 all up; 11 batteries stolen from Greg Donaldson Contracting machines at three separate work sites on Winchmore School Road, Rooneys Road and Blands Road.

And Mr Donaldson’s not happy; neither are the numerous other contractors hit by thieves in recent weeks.

They’ve had enough, and Mr Donaldson’s decided it’s time to do something about it. He’s offering a $5000 reward to anyone who can lead him to the people responsible.

Contractors like Mr Donaldson work in an industry where they often have no choice but to leave machinery on site, or on the side of the road, and in the past they’ve been able to do so without problem. Yes, there’d been the odd spot of vandalism or theft, but nothing like what contractors are experiencing at the moment, Mr Donaldson said.

The 11 batteries taken overnight on Wednesday were from trucks, diggers, loaders and dump trucks all left on site, locked and secure. The locks had been cut.

“But it’s not just that, they have cut the cables and wrecked the electrics,” Mr Donaldson said.

All up, it was a loss of about $15,000 for Mr Donaldson, and he reckons it

must have been pre-planned. The sites were off the road, out of sight, and stealing the batteries would have been at least a couple of hours work.

“They are professionals, this isn’t the work of kids. They have got all the cutting gear,” he said.

Mr Donaldson said he was now going to install battery operated security cameras, hidden in bush, in case his business was targeted again.

“Some have been done over twice.

They put new batteries in and the next morning, they’ve gone too,” Mr Donaldson said.

■ IMPLEMENT SALE

Chance to strike gold at 51st annual implement sale

By Megan Sutherland The PGG Wrightsons 51st Annual Implement Sale in Tinwald took place yesterday and locals flocked to the Tinwald Saleyards to scamper around and find a bargain.

Lawn mowers, motorbikes, grease guns, fences, tyres, even a sandblaster as well as a swing set and tractor forks were just some of the items up for grabs.

The auction which kicked off at 9.30am saw a crowd of around 200 people rock up to try and find that special bargain.

The auction goers, after finding the item that caught their eye, followed the auctioneers to each item where the person that could “flash the most cash” according to auction goer Adrian Hall, would be the one to take home their prized possession.

One bidder Nigel Boyd said he

scored “a bit of a bargain” when he bought six metal gates that were sold together for $230.

Mr Boyd said the gates he bought are heavier than the normal gates you would buy on the market these days so they would stand the test of time.

He said they would make a good project for him to work on.

Mr Hall, who had been at the saleyards since the start of the sale at 9.30am, said it was good even if you didn’t buy anything, to come down and check out the items to see the condition they were in as sometimes it differs to what you read about.

He said the sale more than anything else was a big social activity as there weren’t many farm sales around anymore so lots of people would come to see what it was all about.

Lake snot could establish in Mid Canty

By Michelle nelSon

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

An aquatic algae known as lake snot has not been reported as having established in Mid Canterbury waterways, but that’s not to say it won’t, a water quality scientist says.

Unlike didymo which plagued waterways a decade ago building up thick mats on riverbeds, lake snot hangs in water in thick ropes enabling it to establish in still water bodies such as lakes and ponds.

Cyclotella, or lake snot, has been found in lakes Coleridge, Wanaka and Wakatipu in recent months.

Environment Canterbury water quality scientist Shirley Hayward said the algae bloom in Lake Coleridge was the only infected site in Canterbury that she was aware of.

However, it was possibly already present in other lakes but the conditions were not favourable to a bloom.

Cyclotella is a planktonic diatom, capable of

producing large amounts of mucous.

“It is likely to adhere to boating and fishing equipment, vehicles and people and can be spread to other lakes if the equipment is not cleaned,” she said.

The algae first appeared in Lake Wanaka in 2004 and ECan is unsure if the most recent invasion is a new infection or whether it has remained dormant until conditions were right to spark a bloom.

Ms Hayward said lake snot could take hold in irrigation storage ponds if the source water contained algal cells and the conditions were right.

“If the algae blooms in a storage pond it can cause clogging of intakes and filters,” she said.

“It has been quite problematic for water intake systems in Lake Wanaka.

While there is no method for eliminating lake snot from a waterway, investigations are underway to look at options for managing problems with filters.

Lake snot facts • Cyclotella is planktonic diatom which produces large amounts of mucous (polysaccharides) • First appeared in Wanaka in 2004 as a dominant species, but had been found in low abundance previously in other high country lakes • Unsure if it’s a recent invasion or if it’s been present for longer but only recently developed blooms • Drivers for recent bloom formations are hypothesised to include climate change effects (warm waters, changes to lake mixing patterns), increased nutrients (agriculture and urbanisation), even possibly other alterations to lake ecology through introduction of the exotic daphnia (water flea) species • Problematic blooms reported in Wanaka and Coleridge • Problems created by blooms of cyclotella include clogging of water intakes, filters, fishing lines and lures, and slime on swimmers

Battery thefts spark anger From P1 Blackwell Contracting was one that had been hit twice. Gary Blackwell said they had batteries stolen and replaced them, only for the new ones to be taken three days later.

“They just came in and cut the cables clean off and have taken the batteries,” Mr Blackwell said.

“It’s probably cost a couple of days in down time.”

It was the same for Mr Donaldson; work was virtually a write off on the sites yesterday.

Batteries appeared to be what the thieves were after, but Mr Donaldson said the thieves were unlikely to get much for them.

A $400 battery would be lucky to earn the seller $15 or $30, while the victims were left with a big repair and replacement bill, and lost productivity.

Police are investigating.

■ BARBER

Local barber cut above at national competition Allenton barber Chris Bradley is officially one of the country’s top four.

Mr Bradley recently attended the inaugural Battle of the Barbers competition at the BarberCraft expo and was the only one of the four master barbers named at the top of their game who lives outside of Auckland.

“It just proves you don’t have to be in Auckland where all the hype is to have faith in taking on a barber’s apprenticeship,” he said.

As well the competitive aspect, the event served to encourage young people into the industry and to showcase new styles and products.

Gone are the days of the village barber’s shop offering only traditional short-back-and-sides military-style haircuts. Now the sky is the limit when it comes to men’s grooming and modern barbers are expected to have a far wider repertoire and barber’s shops are enjoying a new lease of life, Mr Bradley said.

The Auckland competition included five classes; beard trimming and shaping, classic hair-

cuts, an open section and hair art.

Mr Bradley’s flat top haircut took the judges’ eye in the classic section and ensured him a place in the top four line up.

“It was a very flat top too,” he said.

The event also offered the opportunity to see what is trending when it comes to men’s hair.

Beards are on their way out and mutton-chop sideburns, as sported by actor Hugh Jackman earlier this week, are enjoying a revival, Mr Bradley said.

“Beards are out in the US now – it will take a while to filter through to New Zealand but we can expect to start seeing longer sideburns soon,” he said.

Mr Bradley’s business, Hair for Men, employs three full-time barbers and one apprentice. He has recently been contacted by the Industry Training Organisation (ITO) with a request to oversee the practical training component for an additional three apprentices.

“We are still trying to work out the logistics of having four of them around the chair,” he said.

Chris Bradley has been recognised as one of the top four barbers in the country.

Caravan dump site to go ahead

By Linda CLarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District Council will go ahead with a controversial caravan waste dumping station on East Street, despite last-minute pleas by business owners in the area to stop the project.

Work on the $77,000 project was suspended this week while Mayor Angus McKay and senior council staff met with business owners who said they had not been consulted about the project, which could cause traffic and odour issues.

Councillors on the service delivery committee yesterday re-affirmed their decision to progress the project, which has already cost

them $28,000. They dismissed other options, which included abandoning the work or finding a new location for it.

Service delivery manager Neil McCann said the business owners were upset at not being consulted and in hindsight council could have done a better job communicating the project to them.

“We told them our brief, went back and explained the whole situation that we started with a $35,000 budget to upgrade the existing one at the Tinwald domain.”

But the New Zealand Campervan Association highlighted health and safety concerns about the Tinwald site, saying it was hard to manoeuvre their big vehicles in

a space populated by children.

Council staff then identified the grass strip off East Street opposite Honda Country as an appropriate spot.

When costs for the project blew out to $77,000, it was brought back to council for approval.

At the time, Coronation Park owner Jamie Dalzell blasted them for doing a poor and unnecessary job, as he operated a similar waste station 400m away.

Mr McCann said the business owners suggested other sites at the Ashburton Business Estate and near the Ashburton cemetery, but it would cost up to $200,000 to link to council’s sewerage scheme.

The new waste station means

Ashburton can call itself campervan-friendly and be marketed to campervan users all over the country.

Mr McCann said the station would also be used by campervan association members living in Ashburton. “We have 373 members in the area and they would typically return to Ashburton after a weekend away and dump at the local station, so it will not just be used by people passing through.”

He said council had promised to monitor usage and traffic around the new station to stop problems developing.

Mayor Angus McKay voted for the station to proceed and said it would be similar to the one

near Cookie Time at Templeton.

He said council’s contractor had “erred” by not giving those in the East Street area proper notification of the job.

“There will be some residents in the area upset and one or two might be quite irate but I think now there has been a genuine effort to explain the costs and alternatives.”

Three councillors voted against the motion to re-affirm the project – Donna Favel, Peter Reveley and Russell Ellis. Mr Ellis said he wanted to know the long-term cost of the station, which would need to include rubbish bins alongside the waste connection and regular cleaning.

■ ASHBURTON BOROUGH SCHOOL

In brief

Baccalaureate a step closer

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Ashburton Borough School will have two visitors assessing its systems next week to determine if they have what it takes to become an IB World School.

The school has put in several years of hard work to become accredited under the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme and will welcome the visitors on Monday and Tuesday.

The school’s IB co-ordinator,

Anne Porter, said the assessors will look at the school’s processes and talk to students, staff, parents and the board to ensure the school is meeting the requirements to become an IB school.

“We feel ready for them, we’ve been on this journey for a long time.

“We’re really excited.”

Once assessed, it will take nine to 12 weeks to find out if their current programme meets the criteria for approval.

If they are approved their programme will remain the same but they will be able to display the IB logo and officially call themselves an IB-accredited school, she said.

Being an IB school will mean that all Ashburton Borough School students’ learning keeps up-to-date with the latest international guidelines, Mrs Porter said.

“It’s a really exciting world to be in. The programme is about

setting them up as learners that have the skills to be self-motivated to go out into the global world.”

The programme will keep evolving and the school will be assessed again in another three years.

If approved, Ashburton Borough School will be the first state primary school in the South Island to be accredited and will be one of more than 4000 schools in the programme world-wide.

Lauriston School has been plagued by tiny creatures chewing through cables and cutting internet supply.

Students and teachers spent two days without internet this week after rats and mice chewed through the school’s fibre cables twice.

Principal Donna Reader said the school was thrown into the dark ages when on Tuesday morning teachers came in to set up for the day and found there was no internet.

Their provider came out to check the problem, found out the cause and replaced the cable that day with no issues, she said.

However, on Wednesday morning teachers came in again to find they were without internet and another inspection showed the rodents had eaten through the new cable.

Bait had been laid the night before which they ate, along with the cable, she said.

This time a steel rod was laid around the cable which did the trick even though staff found a few chew marks on the outer casing.

The school will be calling an exterminator because the ro-

Snell’s singlet for sale One of the most iconic and recognisable items from New Zealand’s sporting history, Sir Peter Snell’s double-gold medal winning black singlet, is going under the hammer. Snell wore the singlet at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics to win gold in both the 800m and 1500m running events.

Now, it is expected to fetch tens of thousands when it goes under the hammer at Auckland auction house Cordy’s this month. - NZME

Teen missing

dents seem like they will just keep coming back and there are other cables underneath the building that they can chew, Ms Reader said.

The lack of internet did not cause too many problems for the teachers and students who quickly adapted but put more work on their office administra-

tor Trudy Tarbotton who had to write the newsletter and notices by hand.

“The kids were amazed that she wrote it by hand,” she said.

Police are concerned about the safety of a 13-year-old girl who has gone missing. Taila Benfell was last seen at an address in Green Bay on May 25. She did not return to her caregivers and has not made any contact with friends or family. Detective sergeant Scott Armstrong said she has previously run away but has “always been in touch with friends and family after a week or so.”

■ ARA INSTITUTE

In brief

Local staff under review

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Ashburton employees may be affected by a review of non-teaching staff at Ara Institute of Canterbury.

Ara is currently completing a review of corporate staff in Ashburton, Oamaru and Timaru and on Friday, completed a monthlong consultation period.

An Ara spokesperson said the review involves one position at the Ashburton campus and the outcome will be known next week.

Tertiary Education Union (TEU) organiser Kris Smith said the union put in a submission to Ara on behalf of staff at these campuses which she hoped would be considered.

“We believe we’ve made a strong submission to maintain the capacity at Ashburton and Oamaru.”

Within the review proposal staffing at the Ashburton campus could change but it was too early to say the exact details, she said.

This submission and others

would be considered before Ara made their final decision.

Since the merger between Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology and Aoraki Polytechnic on December 31 a total of 19 people chose not to transfer to the new institution or were made redundant.

Two out of ten Ashburton staff chose not to transfer during the merger.

Change and uncertainty about staff roles and courses within the new organisation had meant staff morale was low especially in

Ashburton, Timaru and Oamaru, Ms Smith said. “I think across the old Aoraki campuses the staff morale is quite low.”

To help staff morale, and to touch base with the community, TEU plan to come to Ashburton to meet with Ara staff and the community.

This has been in the pipeline all year but Ms Smith said they would be trying to organise something very soon.

The merger between the two institutions was announced in November.

Air quality breached Ashburton recorded its second high air pollution day on Wednesday night.

An Environment Canterbury air pollution recorder logged the peak PM10 concentration level at 58, above the healthy air threshold of 50.

It is the second time this year Ashburton has breached the level, though the first in March was attributed to dust.

PM10 refers to particulate matter in the air that is smaller than 10 micrometres in diameter. The main sources of PM10 are home heating, industry and vehicles, from the combustion of fuels such as wood, coal, petrol and diesel.

On a typical winter day in Ashburton, an estimated 82 per cent of emissions come from home heating.

ECan has been monitoring air pollution in Ashburton since 1999 and has sent a target of just one breach annually for the town by 2020.

The air pollution high co-incided with a run of frosty starts around Mid Canterbury, with temperatures dropping as low as 3.6 degrees Celsius on Tuesday morning.

Search suspended The search for two people near Hari Hari on the West Coast has been temporarily suspended due to poor weather, with police having “grave fears” for the safety 66-year-old man and a 2-year-old girl. Inspector Melanie Aitken was on the scene, and said: “Regretfully due to deteriorating weather conditions and river levels, we have needed to temporarily suspend searching which will resume once sufficient light and weather conditions permit.”

Booze ban at races There won’t be a champagne flute in sight at the Wellington winter races this weekend. Instead, it seems raised pinkie fingers and gently sipped tea will be de rigueur. The Wellington Racing Club failed an undercover sting during January’s Wellington’s Cup Day when an under-age buyer without ID was served alcohol on one occasion. As a consequence, the club cannot serve liquor at its winter races at Trentham Racecourse this Saturday. Thanks to a corporate sponsorship deal with Chanui Tea, several races will be named after the brand’s products and tea will be available for punters at the course. - NZME

Big Lotto pool Lotto players could be in for a multi-million-dollar payday this weekend as the Powerball jackpot has reached $18 million. Strike also rolled over after not being won on Wednesday night, meaning a combined prize pool of $19.3 million will be up for grabs. Lotto First Division will be $1 million and Strike Four will be an estimated $300,000 on Saturday.

A teenager in Palmerston North fended off an attacker who grabbed her from behind by kicking him in the shin with her heel, allowing herself to run free.

Police are investigating the incident which happened on Tremaine Avenue about 8.30am yesterday. A 17-year-old female was waiting for a friend when a vehicle stopped nearby. The male driver got out and walked to where the victim was standing. Without warning, he grabbed her around the waist from behind.

■ FRANCE

Fears over terror attacks Two days before Euro 2016 kicks off in France, unresolved strikes and security fears hung over the tournament with Paris scrambling to stop rubbish piling up in its streets.

Europe’s four-yearly football extravaganza is taking place just seven months after jihadists killed 130 people in the French capital and there are fears the tournament could be a target for more terror attacks.

Germany defender Jerome Boateng became the first highprofile player to say he was banning his family from coming to the stadiums for the tournament because he was concerned for their safety.

“My family and children will not be coming to the stadium.

The risk is simply too big,” he told Sport Bild weekly.

The French Government launched a free smartphone app in French and English which will warn visitors of any “major crisis”, including suspected attacks.

The immediate concern though was the industrial unrest and political turmoil over controversial labour reforms that look set to continue into the championships despite the government’s pleas for un-

In the latest of four months of strikes, union supporters blockaded incineration centres in central Paris, causing uncollected rubbish to pile up in 10 of the capital’s 20 districts.

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo called for an end to the strike action and promised to get the rubbish collected as soon as possible.

“We are redeploying staff to sort out the situation where it’s most critical today,” Hidalgo said.

Uncollected black refuse

sacks were also accumulating in Saint-Etienne, the central city which will host four Euro 2016 matches.

Rail workers locked in one of the most obstinate strikes said they would continue to disrupt services today, extending their action to a ninth day in Paris and several other regions.

Unions were still chewing over an offer from the SNCF rail operator to end their dispute.

Hundreds of union activists lit flares in a protest rally in the Gare du Nord station, the

departure point for Eurostar trains to Britain and other services to northern Europe.

Negotiations continued between Air France and pilots’ unions, who have threatened to ground planes for four days from Saturday, when an estimated two million foreign visitors will be arriving to watch the football.

“The Government, through its obstinate approach, carries the entire responsibility for the conflict continuing,” the hardline CGT union, which has spearheaded the strikes, said.

The growing unease over security was underlined on Wednesday when Britain warned its citizens there was a “high threat from terrorism” at the month-long championships.

The Foreign Office said fans following England, Northern Ireland and Wales should be “vigilant at all times” and warned “stadiums, fan zones, venues broadcasting the tournament and transport hubs” were all potential targets.

The Stade de France in Paris was among the locations targeted in November’s jihadist attacks.

Police shoot down Sydney knifeman Police have shot a 23-yearold man carrying a knife in a confrontation that left four seriously injured at Westfield Hornsby in Sydney’s northwest.

The man, who was seen wielding a knife as he wandered around the Sydney shopping centre “babbling incoherently”, was shot three times by officers and is thought to be in a critical condition.

Witnesses said they fled the scene as they heard gunshots and saw the ground spattered with blood.

It is thought that fragments from the police gunfire injured three bystanders in addition to the knifeman, who suffered wounds to his arm, thigh and abdomen.

An elderly woman is among the innocent victims who were shot.

Police could not confirm whether the man had stabbed anyone, telling news.com.au they were hearing “conflicting reports”.

Seven News journalist Robert Ovadia said the knifeman shouted “Allahu Akhbar” before police shot him, but had a history of mental health issues.

James Yeom, who was working at a nearby store, said he thought he saw two people

• Metrosene • Guterman • Wonderfil • Threads • DMC stranded cottons • Pins • Needles • Buttons • Scissors • Rotary Cutters • Blades • Rulers • Fabrics • Violenes • Batting • Patterns • Kits • Books • Magazines • Classes

shot by police in addition to the knifeman, who was shoeless and was carrying a kitchen knife.

“They just went down with the shot fire, vI think they got shot too,” he said.

“They appeared to be casualties of the shooting.”

No one is believed to have died in the attacks but their conditions are said to range from serious to critical. - AAP

In defence of Heard Amber Heard’s former partner insists the actress never assaulted her. In 2009 Amber, 30, was arrested when she allegedly grabbed and struck her then partner Tasya van Ree’s arm but the artist/photographer has defended Amber after news of the incident was made public recently. She said in a statement: “In 2009, Amber was wrongfully accused for an incident that was misinterpreted and over-sensationalised by two individuals in a power position. I recount hints of misogynistic attitudes toward us which later appeared to be homophobic when they found out we were domestic partners and not just ‘friends’. Charges were quickly dropped and she was released moments later.”

Sheeran being sued Chart-topping, stadium-filling, globe-trotting pop star Ed Sheeran is being sued for $US20 million ($NZ29m) over the alleged theft of an X Factor winner’s song.

A new lawsuit claims Sheeran’s 2014 song Photograph is a “verbatim, notefor-note copying” of Amazing, a 2010 single by X Factor winner Matt Cardle written by Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news, confirming that attorney Richard Busch, the same one who won a $5.3m case over Blurred Lines for the estate of Marvin Gaye, had filed the suit.

“My clients are professional songwriters,” Busch said. “Their work is their life, and I am honoured that they have trusted me with this very important case.”

Banks shut out foreign buyers

lending criteria and obligations, but is operationally difficult in these cases.”

An ANZ spokesman said the changes were made to ensure the bank was “appropriately positioned in the current housing environment, taking into account supply pressure in certain areas”.

Auckland mortgage broker Bruce Patten, of mortgage brokerage Loan Market, said he expected more banks to follow Westpac and

ANZ. The majority of non-resident, overseas-based buyers would take out New Zealand bank loans for purchases here, unless they paid cash, Mr Patten said.

“Most banks around the world won’t take security in a country other than their own ... it is going to cut any overseas purchases out.

They are either going to have to pay cash or have somebody in New Zealand purchase for them.”

Mr Patten believed the change was partly driven by the Australian-owned banks wanting to follow developments across the Tasman - but there could also have been pressure from Government or the Reserve Bank.

“If this has an impact on slowing the house price rise down, then perhaps they might decide that they don’t need to bring [other] measures in.”

ON THE MARKETS

House price inflation is adding to concerns, particularly in Auckland where there is disparity between supply and demand.

The current exchange rate continues to be of concern as the New Zealand dollar is “higher than appropriate” at current levels.

Adding to the strength in our dollar is currency weakness from overseas, which in turn is hurting our exports by making them more expensive.

Inflation expectations in the short-term have stabilised and for the long-term are up to the middle of the targeted range of 1 to 3 per cent. Expectations are for inflation to strengthen as monetary policy remains accommodative. The RBNZ conceded that further policy easing may be required dependent on forthcoming economic data.

The RBA met earlier in the week and also kept rates steady.

Once again this was largely expected after it was revealed in the minutes from the last meeting that the decisions to cut rates was closely contested. The Official Cash Rate in Australia remains at an all time low of 1.75 per cent. The RBA governor highlighted the same global concerns that the RBNZ are discussing.

At the end of last week, the US jobs report was released and came in well below estimates.

The forecast was for 164,000 jobs to be added for May which would have been in line with April’s figure. However, the US Labor Department said that US employers added only 38,000 jobs in May, and revised March and April payroll figures lower.

The lacklustre payrolls report had an immediate affect on rate hike expectations, with most expecting the Federal Reserve (Fed) to now delay rate hike plans.

The Fed has always said that a strong jobs market is crucial to any potential rate hikes.

This was exacerbated further when Fed Chair Janet Yellen made no reference to the time frame of the next rate hike, saying that the jobs report was disappointing.

The jobs report was the last of the economic data releases before next weeks Fed meeting.

The US dollar, in reaction to the rhetoric that there will be no rate hike in June, has lost strength this week, while US equity markets have gained momentum.

In addition to this, oil prices have risen to the highest level in 11 months, now reaching well above the $50 mark, which is also driving US market gains.

NEW ZEALAND SHARE MARKET

20/5

Central banks moves dominate conomic headlines this week have been dominated by central bank meetings and commentary. Both the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced rate decisions this week, while the Federal Reserve in the US featured heavily in global news.

The holiday shortened week in New Zealand has seen only a few economic releases, with the RBNZ rate announcement dominating the schedule.

Leading up to the announcement there was only a small chance that there would be a rate hike, with most analysts seeing the RBNZ holding the OCR at 2.25 per cent.

This came to fruition as the RBNZ held rates steady for the second time in a row. The statement accompanying the rate decision reiterated risks facing New Zealand’s financial stability. The global economy remains weak despite accommodative monetary policy being implemented across the globe.

Although there has been some stabilisation to growth figures after successive downgrades and financial market volatility has abated somewhat, downside risks remain.

The dairy sector remains a concern as dairy prices continue to be low and the forecast payout for the coming season remains below breakeven level for most farmers.

However, other areas of the economy are supportive with net migration, construction, strong tourism and an accommodative monetary policy giving support.

Grant Robertson said the restrictions showed the banks acknowledged both that the housing market was “out of control”, and that overseas-buyers were playing a big role in that.

“It’s the goal of a bank to make money from mortgage lending. If they are pulling back from lending on New Zealand housing, then there really is a crisis in the market.”

Housing Minister Dr Nick Smith said the decision was Westpac’s to make.

“It is entirely a matter for them or any other bank ... what is very different is for the Government to regulate and ban a particular buyer.

“The evidence is that foreign buyers are a negligible impact on the housing market.”

Dr Smith said he was not worried about the move, or any signal it sent about the housing market and risks within it.

Data released by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) last month showed that 474 out 11,955 houses sold between January and March went to non-residents.

Westpac and ANZ will no longer lend to overseas-based buyers of New Zealand property – with other banks expected to follow the move to shut the door on foreign investors.

The restrictions follow moves by Australian banks to stop lending to foreign buyers of property.

Westpac New Zealand has announced that from today it will no longer lend to non-resident borrowers with overseas income.

Borrowers on temporary resident visas will only be accepted if they have both a New Zealand address and a New Zealand-based income.

ANZ has also announced restrictions that will effectively shut out most non-resident, overseas-based borrowers, including restricting lending to owner-occupied properties.

The restrictions will not affect New Zealand passport holders living abroad and purchasing property funded by overseas income.

A Westpac spokeswoman said the restrictions “reduces risk”.

Thefts frustrating for all Erin Tasker

W

e should be able to live in a community where we can leave our cars parked on the side of the road at night and trust that, come morning, they’ll still be there and in one piece.

But the reality is, we can’t.

No matter where we live, or what we do to protect our property, there are people out there who will go to extraordinary lengths to break our trust.

Local contractors have been finding just that out recently, as criminals go to great lengths to steal valuable items which, once they’ve taken them, drop dramatically in value.

In the case of local contractors like Greg Donaldson we’re talking about batteries.

They’re not just your typical car batteries though, these are big batteries that cost about $450.

But once these thieves get their hands on them and sell what’s left of them, they get a fraction of that.

The belief seems to be that these people are doing what they’re doing to fund drug habits; ask the police and they’ll tell you that a fair chunk of this type of crime is drug related in some way, shape or form.

Either people are after money to buy drugs, or they’ve got drug debts to settle.

No matter why they’re doing it though, it’s wrong, and we shouldn’t have to put up with it.

Mr Donaldson’s not. He’s getting security cameras set up and is offering a $5000 reward for information leading to the finding of whoever’s behind the recent spate.

It’s not a spur of the moment thing; whoever is doing this is doing their homework. They know where to go, what gear they’ll need, and what they’re after.

He’s right, these thefts aren’t opportunistic – there’s planning being put in to them. They’re cutting through padlocked gates, making their way in to often secluded work sites not visible from the road, doing what they’re there to do, and getting out undetected.

Someone must know something, and Mr Donaldson and the other contractors who have suffered the same fate recently, are hoping that someone will come forward.

Sunblock, nudity and chocolate N

ow this is a great idea! A piece of technology I do agree with.

Skincare product manufacturer sivea recently built a waterslide that streamlines the process of having fun in the sun.

When kids ride down the special SunSlide, they are sprayed with a mist of SPF 50+ water resistant sunblock.

The waterslide has been inflated on the most popular beach in South Africa, a country where roughly 20,000 cases of skin cancer are reported each year.

It holds close to 13 gallons of sunscreen, which is sprayed on riders from hundreds of jets as they scoot past. Each kid is given goggles beforehand, so the sunscreen doesn’t get in their eyes.

Over 100 sliders can be covered per hour.

Times have changed eh? I remember as a young fella, Mum putting baby oil on me before I went outside on a sunny day. I also remember having a peeling nose heaps, so did every second kids in our neighbourhood

though.

A mate of mine is about to head off on a cruise, it’s his third one and he absolutely loves them. He loves that you unpack once and that’s you done for the holiday.

I have never been a fan of the idea, there’s something about being cooped up on a boat that doesn’t appeal to me. To be fair, this story doesn’t help any either!

Mexico’s Original Group, which operates a number of adultsonly resorts, is embarking on its first sex cruise in 2017. The 8-day Desire Cruise features “clothing-optional areas (including the pool), private playrooms, adult-oriented entertainment, and provocative theme nights”,

according to its website.

There will also be “intense icebreakers”.

Some of the rules include: No nudity in the dining room and no sex with the crew. The cruise departs from Venice, Italy in September 2017. Tickets for this boat-based bacchanalia run from $2800 to $11,000.

I guess you’d have to be careful on a trip like this that you don’t bring home some extra luggage that requires a trip to the doctor to get rid of.

Maybe instead of a water slide that sprays sunscreen, they could install one that sprays Dettol or something stronger.

Somehow I can’t ever see this going on at the Print Room, but you never know.

Aztecs and Mayans during rituals and ceremonies to elevate participants to a state of ecstasy.

It contains endorphins and antioxidants that increase blood flow to the brain and muscles.

A number of studies have shown cacao improves cognitive function. But a chocolate scientist says there’s not enough of any of those compounds in cacao to actually alter people’s moods.

Meaning trendy Millennials rolling on cacao at the club are probably just enjoying a placebo effect.

I guess there’s worse things they could be doing!

Collett on target Sam Collett is on track to achieve her season’s goal for the 2015-16 term.

“I’m pretty happy with the way things are going – I set myself a target of 60 winners and I’m up to 49 so it’s been very rewarding so far,” the 26-yearold said.

“I rode 53 winners in my second year and I tried to crack that last season and got 52. I was a bit disheartened, but this term it’s going nicely and I’m trying to get as many winners as I can before a break.”

Collett is going to Sydney in July to attend the wedding of jockey Daniel Stackhouse and she will then head to China.

In the meantime, Collett has a number of chances at Riccarton today.

She has a full book of eight, including the promising Terri Rae-trained filly Magic Mavis in the Rothbury Insurance Brokers Three-Year-Old. - NZME

In brief Cavs claw one back LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers stormed back into the NBA Finals with a dominant 12090 victory over the defending champion Golden State Warriors yesterday that cut the series deficit to 2-1. James, who called the game “do-or-die”, scored a game-high 32 points and Kyrie Irving added 30 as the Cavaliers breathed new life into a series that had looked headed for a quick finish after a lopsided opening two games. - AP

Day/night on agenda Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland has called for players to remain open-minded to the prospect of a day-night Ashes Test in the 2017-18 series. Sutherland said he respected the concerns of captains Steve Smith and Alastair Cook, but reiterated that the pinkball Test would be a “natural progression”. “But I think the facts of the matter are that by playing a daynight Test match you’re actually going to get bigger audiences at the game and on television.” - AAP

College put in bold effort

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Ashburton College produced a valiant effort in a 24-21 loss to reigning SuperNet and South Island Secondary Schools’ champions St Margaret’s College on Wednesday evening.

College matched St Margaret’s goal for goal with Meg Witterick

applying great defensive pressure at WD as the first quarter ended 8-7 to St Margaret’s.

The second quarter was another close affair as goal shooter Grace Wilson had another consistent outing under the hoop to keep Ashburton College within striking distance for a 13-11 halftime score.

College’s scoring slowed in the third quarter, but they came back strong in the final stanza to outscore St Margaret’s 7-4.

The late rally was not enough, though, as St Margaret’s took the narrow win, but College will take some solace from collecting a bonus point for coming within three goals.

Coach Ange Mitchell said Sophie Beveridge (GA) and Kirsten Clarke (C) made the most of their starting opportunity, playing with growing confidence throughout the tie.

Mitchell’s side will next be in action against Christchurch Girls’ High School A next Wednesday.

Tall Ferns in massive upset at Olympic qualifiers The Tall Ferns have claimed one of their biggest scalps, downing world number three ranked Spain 54-52 yesterday.

Spain won silver at the 2014

Women’s World Cup, but were edged by the 22nd-ranked Tall Ferns in possibly their finest result in recent memory.

Jillian Harmon was again the

standout performer for the Tall Ferns with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Micaela Cocks had 12 points. Young duo Penina Davidson and Chevannah Paalvast

both had nine points and eight rebounds.

Tall Ferns head coach Kennedy Kereama was thrilled with his side’s performance.

Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo has put his Monaco misery behind him and is hoping for another epic battle with Lewis Hamilton in Montreal this weekend. Two weeks after taking a first Formula One pole position, only to lose out on victory for the second race running due to no fault of his own, the Australian returns to the scene of his first grand prix victory in a feisty mood. “You’re going to see the same intensity that you saw in Monaco. I plan on keeping that up and not letting anything get in the way,” he added.

Muguruza eyes top spot So long the dominant force in women’s tennis, Serena Williams will head to Wimbledon this month in danger of losing her No.1 ranking to Spain’s Garbine Muguruza. Muguruza, beaten by Williams in last year’s Wimbledon final, turned the tables to win the French Open on Saturday and climbed to a career-high second on the WTA list. Should she win the Wimbledon title and the 34-year-old Williams loses before the final, she would rise to number one, a position Williams has held for 178 weeks.

Belts go on the line

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Fifty-one JION International Karate Dojo students will be hoping to gain their next belt in grading sessions at the Tinwald Memorial Hall this weekend.

On Saturday morning, the club’s junior instructor, Jessica Windhorst, will run three pre-grading practice sessions in different grade groups for candidates.

Assessments of students will then begin on Saturday evening to the higher grades from blue belt to brown belts.

On Sunday morning, the club will run the lower grades through their white to purple belt programmes.

After all of the Kyu grades are complete, there will be a 90 minute training seminar with external examiner Sensei Dieter Steinegg from Christchurch, alongside Sensei Thorsten Windhorst, who will be observing the club’s two dan grading candidates.

Leanne Walsh will grade to first junior dan (first junior black belt) and Jessica Windhorst to third junior dan.

Jessica, who turns 16 next week, will also perform her grading to first dan in the senior grade.

All of the successful grading candidates will receive their new belts and grading certificates on Monday evening at Ashburton Intermediate School.

One of Otago’s favourite sons has been handed the region’s most coveted coaching role, with Tony Brown set to take charge of the Highlanders in 2017. But Brown’s tenure as head coach will initially last only one season before he once again links with Jamie Joseph in a position with the Japanese national team. Brown will be joined next year by fellow former All Blacks Scott McLeod, who will continue in his current position as assistant coach, and Mark Hammett, who is set to return to the South Island after a season coaching the Sunwolves. - NZME

Strain shows at Manly Manly are showing signs of strain as off-field dramas, injuries and lack of form continue to hit the club hard.

Reports surfaced this week of a dispute with major sponsor Coco Joy, which could cost Manly $3m.

They followed news last week that police were looking into claim of alleged match fixing involving Manly.

“There is a lot of stuff in the paper I am surprised to read, half of it isn’t the truth. We will just leave it up the club and they will sort it out, our job is to play rugby league,” said utility Lewis Brown.

All Whites skipper to miss Oceania final The All Whites have suffered a blow ahead of tomorrow’s Oceania Nations Cup final with captain Chris Wood missing the match.

The 24-year-old has his sister’s wedding to attend in New Zealand on the same day, which was arranged some 12 months earlier aligned to the international dates available at that time.

“I’m gutted I won’t be able to take part in the final but my sister’s wedding is something I’ve looked forward to for a very long

Highlanders coach

time and it’s something that is very important to me,” Wood said.

“My family is the most important thing in my life and to be there is a massive thing for me.

“I’m gutted to be missing the final but sometimes it can’t be helped.”

The Leeds United striker has been in constant communication with coach Anthony Hudson throughout his decision-making process and stated early on that he wished to attend the wedding.

Hudson selected Wood as he believed he would play a key role in helping the All Whites reach the final and the striker has done exactly that, scoring four goals to help his side reach their first OFC Nations Cup final since 2002.

“It’s unfortunate, he’s the captain and is an incredibly important player for us,” Hudson said.

“It was an ongoing discussion – he came to me a long time ago but as you get nearer to a tournament you want to try to see if there are any other options.

“You think maybe Chris will come in and, with more discussions, you might be able to sway him the other way.

“But once I’d heard it from his mouth and seen what it meant to him it was no problem with me.

We knew he was going to help us get to the final and he’s done that.”

Hudson Wood showed how much playing for the All Whites means to him by playing through a shoulder injury to help the team make the final.

Wests Tigers hooker Robbie Farah could be benched just three days before he is named as NSW’s starting No.9 for Origin II. While Farah is a certainty for Laurie Daley’s Blues team, Tigers coach Jason Taylor yesterday refused to guarantee Farah would start tonight’s match against South Sydney ahead of utility Dene Halatau. While many will see it as a continuation of a simmering feud between the two, Taylor insisted that Farah was not different to any other player and he would pick his side in the best interests of the club.

In brief Who will lead the haka?

The All Blacks’ team has been named, but one question remains – in the absence of Keven Mealamu and Liam Messam, who will lead the haka against Wales at Eden Park? Halfback Aaron Smith is looming as the front-runner; the other options are probably skipper Kieran Read and fellow loose forward Jerome Kaino. The 27-year Smith, a former NZ Maori player of Ngati Kahungunu descent, certainly has the heritage to perform the important task with distinction, with Read a possibility to take his place at the front of the arrowhead formation first shown by the All Blacks at the World Cup. - NZME

Tamanivalu only bolter

Angus Lindsay in action during Celtic’s 29-10 victory over Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell last week. The greens will host Ashley tomorrow in their last outing before they kick off their Watters Cup campaign against Hampstead in a week’s time.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has gone for the tried and trusted for his team’s first rugby test since winning the World Cup last November, with the inexperienced Seta Tamanivalu on the reserves bench to play Wales perhaps his boldest and most surprising decision. The uncapped 23-yearold Tamanivalu will cover a midfield consisting of Ryan Crotty and Malakai Fekitoa. The Fijianborn Tamanivalu, in only his second season of Super Rugby with the Chiefs, has impressed with his strength and power in the midfield this year.

England focused

Focus moves to Watters Cup

Forget the end of season holiday, England are getting serious about winning their three-Test series against the Wallabies. England have a wretched record in Australia, winning just three Tests in 17 attempts Down Under. This year’s series is the first time England have played a three-Test series in Australia and, crucially, the tour features no midweek matches. Prop Dan Cole, a veteran of the 2010 tour and the British and Irish Lions Tour in 2013, says the sole focus on Tests for this series has got English minds well-focused.

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s senior sides may be out of contention for the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition crown, but playoff placings and a good run of form ahead of the Watters Cup are at stake.

Rakaia’s quest to become the second Mid Canterbury side to win the Combined Country Competition came to an end with minutes to play against Southbridge last Saturday.

With two minutes remaining,

the Watters Cup holders led 2319, but, sensing their first loss of the season, Southbridge kicked their penalty to touch in the corner.

From the lineout, they relentlessly attacked a waning Rakaia defence and drove over the line before adding the extras to secure a 26-23 victory and a place in the final against Waihora.

Rakaia will now look to take out their frustrations on Glenmark in their third place playoff tie before next weekend’s Watters Cup bye.

Celtic, who bowed out of the

Combined Competition at the quarter-final stage, will play host to Ashley tomorrow.

Shane Enright’s side will take the opportunity to fine tune plans for their opening Watters Cup clash against Hampstead in a week’s time and will be out to maintain the solid form they showed in last Saturday’s 29-10 thumping of Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell.

Meanwhile, Hampstead and Southern will both be on the road for their Canterbury Rugby Supporters’ Club Plaque fixtures.

Southern, who convincingly downed Hampstead 34-17 under the lights last Friday, will lock horns with Ohoka while Hampstead face West Melton.

Methven will also be in action away from home in their Canterbury Rugby Supporters’ Club Plate clash against Rolleston.

Tomorrow’s senior fixtures: Glenmark v Rakaia, Omihi, 2.45pm.

Celtic v Ashley, Celtic, 2.45pm.

West Melton v Hampstead, West Melton, 2.45pm. Ohoka v Southern.

Rolleston v PWL Methven, Rolleston, 2.45pm.

All Blacks will have fewer test caps than Wales

By Cameron mCmillan Coach Steve Hansen has named his first All Blacks side of 2016.

Here’s three key stats you need to know.

Two new caps (on the bench) There are no debutants in the starting XV but either Ardie Savea or Seta Tamanivalu will become the 1147th All Black.

If/when Savea gets on the field he and brother Julian, starting on the left wing, will become the 43rd set of brothers to play for the All Blacks.

Experience lost, but still experience there.

The All Blacks starting XV has a combined total of 580 test caps (an expected Wales XV will have more than 650).

The six players who retired at the end of the World Cup had

a combined 708 tests to their names (Richie McCaw 148, Keven Mealamu 133, Tony Woodcock 118, Dan Carter 112, Ma’a Nonu 103 and Conrad Smith 94).

Nine players started in the Rugby World Cup final against Australia while Sam Cane, Beauden Barrett and Charlie Faumuina came off the bench at Twickenham.

Captain Read Captain Kieran Read, who will play his 85th test this weekend, will be captaining the side for the tenth time.

He captained his first test against Italy in 2012 and the All Blacks have a perfect record in his previous nine matches in charge, averaging a winning margin of 26 points.

Warburton to play Wales have made a number of changes, both injury enforced and on form, to their pack for the start of their three test series with the All Blacks. Captain Sam Warburton returns to the loose forward mix with blindside Ross Moriarty to replace the injured Dan Lydiate and unavailable Justin Tipuric.

Warburton has not played for more than a month because of a shoulder injury but Wales need his leadership and expertise to stay in this Eden Park test. Up front coach Warren Gatland has recalled the experienced Gethin Jenkins at loosehead prop and picked Ken Owens at hooker.

Broncos re-union Back in 2009 Israel Folau, Ben Te’o and Karmichael Hunt were last seen together playing for NRL club Brisbane. Fast forward to Saturday night and they could meet again at Broncos homeground Suncorp Stadium – in the Wallabies’ first Test clash with England. Many would have laughed at the prospect eight years ago - well, maybe not stony faced Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett. Folau agreed it would be a moment he could never have predicted but would still savour if the stars aligned and the trio reunited - AAP

Paddon team puts drama into history New Zealand’s world rally stars Hayden Paddon and John Kennard are determined to come back fighting at this week’s FIA World Rally Championship rally on the Italian island of Sardinia.

From the highs of their first-ever WRC win in Argentina, the Kiwis suffered a tough blow in Portugal, after their car caught fire following an off-road excursion on the opening day.

But with their trademark determination, Paddon and Kennard have put that drama behind them as they make their third start on the narrow, rocky roads of Sardinia, an event which marks their second anniversary with Hyundai Motorsport and their first WRC podium finish last year.

Paddon’s crew returned from Portugal earlier than the rest of the Hyundai Motorsport team to begin work on a new i20 WRC car and impressively turned around the job in just seven working days.

At the same time, the team also carried out its pre-event test in Sardinia with all four driver crews – Paddon, Dani Sordo, Thierry Neuville and Kevin Abbring – spending one full day each preparing for the event.

“The boys did an amazing job building the new car,” said Paddon.

“They had a spare bare shell but then everything needed to be sourced or made which was the big part of the job.

“I was able to get to the workshop a couple of times, and as much as I would have liked to be helping, in this environment it’s best to leave it to the experts.

“But hats off to them all for a job well done.

“To go straight into a really good test day is also positive.

“We were able to clarify the problems from Portugal, but also find some small steps forward with other parts of the car – it’s the best feeling I have had driving the New Generation i20 WRC. “We are still learning and developing new setups with this car every time we drive it.”

Hosted in the coastal resort town of Alghero in the north-west of Sardinia, Italy’s summer WRC round is a rough, rockstrewn gravel challenge that often favours a lower road position.

Ambient temperatures can top 30 degrees Celsius and cause strain on engines, tyres, components and crews as the cockpits reach 50-plus over a stage. - NZME

10/6 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your body is starting to show the benefits of your health and fitness efforts, and this will inspire you to do even better. Your happy spirit makes attention you put on feeling better a joy.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your friends will want to hang out at your place. This is where the acceptance and sense of belonging is, after all.

They can feel it best in your kitchen, and you’ll dream up something delicious to add to that.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’re about proliferating ideas and giving sparkling communication. It’s an attractive style. Even quiet and reserved people will find themselves drawn out by your charms.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The resources are not apparent. They are like underwater springs, and you’ll have to divine the good stuff, like the ancients who used a sacred stick to find water underground.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Orphans and strays will be attracted to your innate generosity, and perhaps you’ll care for them by entertaining and impressing them, taking risks that leave them gasping in awe.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Location matters – specifically, the flow of energy through a location.

Set it up so that you can move easily through the tasks that keep your life rolling along. Bad organisation brings with it some unnecessary stress.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): When loss, change or stress takes someone you love out of his or her normal coping pattern, you’re there for reassurance. Your love can be counted on when other things can’t be.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Effectively walk through the good and bad of the day and you’ll grow. When things seem to be turning in a negative direction, you can avoid getting caught in the downward spiral by keeping your hands and attention to yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Being there to celebrate the success of a loved one makes you feel connected. You have successes, which is why you can relate in the memorable way everyone enjoys.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): A past predicament could have been altered had you made different choices. Moving forward, you’ll continue to put yourself in a better and more powerful position.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): If you’re not sure what matters, give your priorities 15 silent, thoughtful minutes. Nothing is too hard to figure out when you allow the mental space and focus for that.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): A weaker person would make no decisions, thereby believing that he or she has escaped all responsibility. It doesn’t work that way. Not deciding is a decision and therefore culpable.

Sport Two-year ban imposed The career of Russian former world number one Maria Sharapova is in tatters after she was given a twoyear ban by the International Tennis Federation following her positive test for the banned drug meldonium. In a statement the ITF said the five-times grand slam champion’s ban would be backdated to January 26 this year, meaning her results and prize money from the Australian Open, where she reached the quarter-finals, would be cancelled out. Sharapova, 29, said she would appeal, describing the punishment as “unfairly harsh”.

Southern girls snatch a last-minute draw Ashburton College and Southern could not be separated at 23-all in the opening clash of last night’s Premier Grade Netball action.

College led Southern 8-7 at the end of a tightly contested first quarter and marginally increased their lead to 16-14 at halftime.

Two goals remained the difference in the game’s third quarter before Southern reined the school girls in in the final stanza.

Pick up tomorrow’s edition of the Ashburton Guardian for a full wrap of all games in this week’s Premier Grade Netball round.

England rugby coach Eddie Jones suspects there is more than meets the eye in Jarryd Hayne’s selection in the Fiji Sevens Olympic squad.

The former Wallabies mentor said all signs suggest there is another force at work behind the scenes inside the Fiji team’s dressing room. Hayne was named in Fiji’s provisional squad for Rio after making his sevens debut at last month’s London Sevens. Jones said that was as close as the former NRL star will get to his Olympic dream. “You can’t just walk in.

You’ve got to be able to play sevens.

Certainly, his performance in London suggests he’s going to be struggling to make that team.”

Wales not holding back

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY If the words of coach Warren Gatland and captain Sam Warburton are anything to go by, Wales are prepared to take risks in order to break their losing streak against the All Blacks which stretches back 63 years.

Warburton, back just in time after six weeks out with a shoulder injury, was in no doubt about the size of the challenge facing his team but said there was no point trying to limit the challenge against the world champions at Eden Park on Saturday.

“Who dares wins, as they say,” Warburton said. “We’re going to have to take some risks during the game.

“We can’t be conservative and expect to win.”

New Zealander Gatland said: “The message to our team is be bold.

“Be smart in the way you play, but don’t be afraid to take those risks and try things.”

Under Gatland, Wales had become known for a safety-first strategy but at the recent World Cup their willingness to play with more flair – and from deep in terms of the backline – paid

benefits, including their thrilling pool match victory over England at Twickenham.

Whether Wales follow through in terms of a more expansive game plan in the first test remains to be seen, because risk-taking will present the All Blacks with opportunities, and, significantly, Gatland wants to keep things tight in order for the home side to feel the pressure late in the game.

“For us, the challenge is to stay in the fight ... and maybe they haven’t got the same experience that they’ve relied on in the past,” he said.

There is experience in the Wales pack, and size in the backline, with midfielder Jamie Roberts and wing George North two of the biggest in their positions in the world.

There is also size and experience within the All Blacks with Gatland saying the starting XV named by Steve Hansen was a predictable one.

“Obviously they have picked the most experienced team that they could, with the combinations there. But we’re really excited about Saturday and we’re going to go out there and do that jersey proud.”

More test tons in sight England batsman Joe Root has identified the need to be more assertive to convert his half-centuries to three-figure scores, starting with the third Test against Sri Lanka starting tonight at Lord’s. The 25-year-old has been dismissed 13 times between 50 and 98 since 2015, most recently caught on 80 against Sri Lanka in the second Test, which he described as a “car crash”. Root, ranked second in the world Test rankings behind Steve Smith, said he should have doubled the nine Test centuries he had amassed so far.
