Despite the odd shower of rain, organisers of the 92nd Mayfield A&P Show reported a “very successful” day out for the whole family.

Held at the A&P association’s showgrounds, visitors were treated to the ‘world-famous’ pig racing, top-quality stock competitions, entertainment and 100-year-old machinery on display.

Show president and fifth generation dairy farmer Martin Williams said they were yet to tally final numbers, but the day was

well supported. “All things equal, it was very successful day, considering the weather, it was very positive,” he said.

“I would like to thank the people who turned up, it’s very much appreciated considering the weather. We can’t do without the public, sponsors and judges who were out in the rain.”

A major part of the Mayfield A&P Show tradition is the racing piglets, trained by John Farnell.

The piglets run around an obstacle course and partake in a full card of races, open to the betting public.

“The pig racing was very well supported,” Williams said. “I was pretty impressed and they were more than happy with the takings.

“For me, the Mayfield show is based around pig racing, but other highlights were the Clydesdales on the chaff cutter and vintage machinery.

“I rang my dad, who judged the Clydesdales, and he absolutely loved it; he was over the moon.

“I really take my hat off to the quality of horses being shown, it’s a credit to them; and the sheep were in exceptionally good condition this year.”

Williams said there was rain on and off throughout the day, but it was “reasonably warm and quite mild”.

He said he also spoke with Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel, who “absolutely enjoyed the day out here”.

While he acknowledged it was difficult to keep smaller shows going, he praised the community who helped make it possible.

“I’m really proud and we need to showcase Mid Canterbury,” he said.

“It’s really a family thing for me, working with a great bunch of

people. It’s about community and family.”

Other highlights included dog trials, shearing competitions, a terrier race, show jumping, a wellsupported arts and crafts shed, award-winning produce, photos and children’s art, a treasure hunt, farm machinery, tractors and vintage machines, including a tin mill driven by a traction engine.

■ POPULATION

Our population booming

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

If Ashburton’s population growth continues on its current path there are likely to be 42,000 people living in the district in 30 years’ time and more than half of those will be aged 40 or older.

Statistics New Zealand subna-

tional population predictions give low, medium and high growth rates for territorial authorities.

Predictions for the Ashburton District for 2043 range from a high of 47,000 to a low of 36,300.

The district’s official population at the end of last year was 33,700, putting it on track to hit the pre-

dicted high of 35,400 by the end of 2018. Last year the number of people living in the district grew by 1.5 per cent.

Over the five years to December 2016 the district’s population averaged a growth rate of 1.7 per cent against a national growth rate of 1.4 per cent.

As the district’s population grows, the age balance changes significantly. The median age in 2018 is predicted to be 38.6. This will peak in 2038 at 40.8.

By 2043 the number of 0-14 year olds (8200) will be less than the number of people aged 65 and over, 9000. Age is predicted to

■ MAYFIELD A&P SHOW

overtake youth for the first time in 2038, when there will be 8000 0-14 year olds and 8400 people aged 65 and over.

In terms of growth over the next 25 years, the district’s population is predicted to increase at a rate of between 0.4 per cent 1.3 per cent a year, well below the current rate.

Ten people rescued in New Lynn

Pigs eye the prize at Mayfield A&P Show The world-famous piglet racing was again a highlight of this year’s 92nd annual Mayfield A&P Show. Pigs are trained by John Farnell and rewarded with food after their speedy race through an obstacle course.

Ten people have been rescued by firefighters from a flooded section of shops in the west Auckland suburb of New Lynn.

People were being urged to avoid the New Lynn area due to risks of an unstable building, the Fire Service says.

Police say motorists should stay away from the wider New Lynn, Henderson and Kelston areas due to severe flooding. A number of roads are closed.

Some parked cars have been inundated with flood waters on Great North Road and another vehicle which was driven into the waters near Edmonton Road was pulled out after it became stuck.

Labour MP David Cunliffe, the MP for New Lynn, tweeted that the central shopping area of New Lynn faced a big clean-up. Emergency services were doing well and everyone was safe, he said.

The Fire Service had had 527 emergency calls since 6am yesterday and was averaging a 111 call every 24 seconds.

It comes as more than 150 Auckland homes flooded under a spell of heavy rainfall around midday yesterday.

■ ECONOMY

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton District’s economy grew 4 per cent last year, with our GDP now measuring $1845 million.

The Infometrics 2016 economic indicator shows that local growth outstripped the national rate of 2.5 per cent, with ours achieved on the back of strong agriculture, manufacturing and construction sectors.

At $531 million, agriculture is the largest contributor to the district’s GDP, 28.9 per cent, followed by manufacturing, $208 million, 11.3 per cent and the construction industry, $118 million, 6.4 per cent.

Dairying stands alone as the single biggest contributor at $287 million, 16.1 per cent of the total, followed by sheep, beef, cattle and grain farming, $134 million, 7.3 per cent.

On the back of New Zealand’s strong tourism sector, domestic and international visitor spending on accommodation and food services lifted by 5.2 per cent.

Over the past 10 years the district’s economic growth hit a high in 2004, 9.4 per cent and a low of negative 2.5 per cent in 2011.

The district’s employment grew by 3.1 per cent last year, with an average of 19,076 people in the

workforce. Over the past 10 years the employment rate has averaged 2.2 per cent growth.

Agriculture was responsible for 4872 jobs, 25.5 per cent of the total, manufacturing 2843, 14.9 per cent, retail 1764, 9.1 per cent and health care and social assistance 1050, 5.5 per cent.

Dairy cattle farming was the biggest contributor to agricultural jobs, 2099 followed by meat processing 1317.

When it came to job growth from 2015 to 2016, 119 new jobs were created in agriculture, 80 in construction, 68 in administration and support services and 63 in accommodation and food services.

There were sectors within some industries, however, where jobs were lost and those included dairying, 27.

The Ashburton District has a higher number of self employed people than the New Zealand average, 19.7 per cent against 18 per cent.

A total of 3755 workers were self-employed.

GDP per employee in the district measured $96,739.

One of the few economic negatives was in business unit growth.

A total of 5271 business units were recorded in the district, down 0.9 per cent on 2015.

He is survived by his wife Pam, and children. The cartoons ran from 1976 until 1994 in newspapers and were released in book form.

The men then fled in two cars, while both of the dairy workers were treated by ambulance officers and taken to hospital, one in a serious condition.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

White cross policy update The white crosses that are hammered to fencelines along New Zealand roads are a stark reminder that a life was lost on that spot.

Ashburton people have followed the rest of the country in adopting the roadside memorials, but the complex way in which permission is granted to erect these, means there is no way to gauge their number.

The Ashburton District council recently removed its white cross policy it adopted in 2001 from its register, because the process for erecting crosses was already covered by the New Zealand Transport Agency.

The national policy was adopted in 2001 and this will

continue to be applied to the erection of crosses in the Ashburton District, making a local policy obsolete.

The process of erecting a white cross varies according to location. If the site is a fence alongside State Highway One, NZTA approval is required, if the fence is on private property, the property owner’s permission is needed.

Council staff do not receive large numbers of requests for white crosses or memorial sites.

When requests are received, the site is assessed for safety considerations by the council’s roading team. Requests are only considered from immediate family members.

Actor on sex charges named as Shorty star The Kiwi actor accused of sex crimes against several of his acting students can now be named as former Shortland Street star Rene Naufahu.

The 46-year-old faces a total of 17 charges, including indecent assault and sexual violation, over alleged offending against seven adult women he was teaching between 2010 and 2013.

At a hearing at the Auckland District Court in February, Judge David Sharp agreed to lift the suppression on Naufahu’s name, effective Sunday morning.

Naufahu is best known for playing Shortland Street paramedic Sam Aleni from 1992 to 1996.

He was an original cast member, reprised the role in 2014

and has had various other minor parts in television and film.

Naufahu opted not to seek continued suppression at the February hearing, saying he wanted to confront the charges openly.

“Suppression was only ever reluctantly sought by me to preserve my ability to continue to work and to try to minimise the disruption on my family,” he said in a statement.

“I did not seek suppression to hide from these allegations, he said.

“I am confident that I will not be judged in the meantime and until all the relevant facts are known, not just what is currently being alleged.”

Naufahu is set to return to court in April.

■ ART GALLERY

Fundraising initiative launched The Ashburton Art Gallery is launching a new fundraising project to clean and restore two significant paintings to potentially be displayed for public exhibition.

Teaming up with exhibiting artist Michael Armstrong, the gallery has three new, unfinished artworks that require completion by members of the community.

He has started work on two paintings and one wooden sculpture and has devised a set of creative rules for each work which participants are obligated to obey.

All materials and equipment to contribute to the works are provided by the gallery, however participants are welcome to bring items from home to use in the creation process.

The completed artworks will be

sold through a silent auction from April 8 with the proceeds directed to the restoration of The Trawlers (1979) by Rudi Gopas and The Chair (1978) by Philip Clairmont.

Gallery manager/curator Shirin Khosraviani said contributions to the three artworks were already under way with staff eager to see more creative additions in the coming weeks.

“We are so fortunate to have the support of working artists who care as deeply as we do about community collections and their ongoing care,” she said.

“Contributing to this fundraiser doesn’t require the exchange of money or goods, but the offering of creative and artistic expression – it couldn’t get any easier.”

In 2002, the Ministry of Foreign

Affairs gifted these works to the Gallery as part of a Repatriation Art Project by the Government.

At the time these works were gifted, the gallery had begun the process of establishing a permanent collection for the Ashburton Community.

These paintings became the cornerstone of the collection and are regarded as central works in the communities’ collection by gallery staff and committee members.

The Conservation Collective will run daily in the gallery’s foyer space until March 26.

The three finished works made in collaboration between Michael Armstrong and the community will sell through a silent auction starting on April 8.

Big money raised at Mt Hutt When more than a thousand sightseers, walkers and mountain bikers enjoyed a warm and sunny day on Mt Hutt last weekend, they helped raise more than $10,000 for the Canterbury charity Maia Health Foundation who are raising funds for a future-proofed rooftop helipad for Christchurch Hospital.

The day was run in partnership with the Methven Lions and grossed just over $16,500 from gate admissions and food and beverage sales. About $5000 of the money raised will be used for local community initiatives led by Lions.

Mt Hutt Ski Area Manager James McKenzie described the day as a great success.

“We run the event every two years, but this year we upped the ante with more food offerings, a slip’n’slide for the kids, live music, helicopter rides, Big Al’s bike hire and repair tent and the unveiling of our cool, new observation cairn at the summit, which was a popular attraction.”

As well as supporting the Maia Foundation’s fundraiser, the open day was a way for the Mt Hutt team to thank the people who voted for them in the World Ski Awards, McKenzie said.

Looking ahead, the skifield was looking at welcoming its winter patrons back on June 9 for the new ski season, he said.

Jeweller captures wildflowers

BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

As a preschooler, Adele Stewart would lead her mother’s friends around their wildflower garden.

She would point out the various plants and tell them the names.

Cowslip, violet, granny’s bonnet, Himalayan poppy and foxglove were just a few.

“I thought I would be a florist,” the 31-year-old recalls.

But Stewart ended up making jewellery instead, and her work is all about flowers.

“Everyone loves flowers and they love to wear flowers,” she said.

Adele Stewart Maker is her brand name, and she has created the silk pods collection and more recently the botanical range.

Silk pods comprises jewellery made from silk cocoons which she sources from China.

Based in Methven, Stewart cuts the pods with scissors, wets and dyes them before combining with sterling silver and small beads to create pendants and earrings.

“Silk has such a lustre, quite often petals can have that lustre, they reflect the light in a similar way,” she said.

The botanical range is made from sterling silver beads which she intricately cuts and folds to flowers, before enamelling in various colours.

“There’s a fine line between melting the whole bead and getting it hot enough to get the enamel to stick to it.”

She sells her jewellery in shops throughout the South Island, including at the Ashburton Art Gallery, as well as online.

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

C

ommunity support made this year’s Mayfield A&P Show a brilliant day out for both locals and visitors.

While they couldn’t control the tempestuous weather, volunteers weren’t about to let all their hard work go to waste.

Instead they made the most of the conditions and were thrilled with the results.

This is what I love about small communities.

Everyone pulled together man hours and resources to create an event that was a winner – despite the intermittent rain drops.

From the world-famous quickfire pig racing events (yes, there were seven of them), to shearing competitions, Clydesdales on the chaff cutter and top-quality produce and arts on display, it is a vital link to our past that we must support.

A&P shows are an important part of our Kiwi heritage and the chance for our farmers to take some time off working the land, and showcase the results of their labour.

The Mayfield show celebrated its 92nd anniversary on Saturday, and many others across the country are approaching – or have already past – their centenary.

It’s so important to keep these kinds of events alive for the next generation, and foster them as tools of education, experience and fun.

When I spoke with show president and fifth generation dairy farmer, Martin Williams, he was thrilled with the support he had received from his community.

Coming on board as president had been a new move for him, but a decision he’s pleased he made.

He’d now love to see more people taking the opportunity to get involved in at a local level.

“It’s totally enjoyable and to get out of your comfort zone is a great thing,” he said.

As his father was out judging Clydesdales, and his wife played a vital role in pulling together the whole event, he described his involvement as a “family thing, working with a great bunch of people. It’s about community and family”.

It’s becoming harder and harder to keep these smaller shows afloat and attracting new volunteers, but something that is well worth stepping up and considering.

For the benefit of our communities and generations to come, it’s well worth investing the time and effort.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

W

e’ve received some great insight into our online debate about unsecured dogs.

The discussion is a result of social media reports of an Ashburton family dog being viciously attacked and requiring surgery in the past few weeks.

Thanks to everyone who has jumped on board to offer your opinion, advice and thoughts on what needs to change.

In some cases, it’s raised more questions than answers and the discussion has been a productive one.

The majority of comments are highlighting the need for the onus to be placed with the owners, but it was also raised that often mistakes happen, a gate is left open and a dog gets out. Should those owners be penalised in the same way?And is there a need for more education surrounding the issue?

To add your thoughts to the debate, visit the Ashburton Guardian Facebook page or vote on our poll at www.guardianonline.co.nz We would love to hear from you!

YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK Janet N Craig Further to the dog’s laws debacle, I was always under the understanding you have to have one clear entrance to your house, where there were no dogs running loose. If your dog was outside your property it has to be on a lead (unless at a dog park) and you pick up its mess. If you have more than two dogs you have to have a special licence and if you rent a Housing NZ, no dogs! There are also several dogs you cannot own in NZ. Easy as, no problems!!

Alastair Great initiative

Alison To do nothing is as bad as the irresponsible owner! There always has to be consequences for disobeying legislation...not consequences for the dog but the owners!!! How about the SPCA being actively involved? After all they are an organisation set up to protect animal welfare and educate public! Maybe legislation needs to engage SPCA to be out actively checking in on known offenders dogs welfare, to ensure it is being taken care off...educate owners to care and keep their dogs safe and the community safe? Just a thought!

ROLLING POLL This week’s question Q: Is enough being done to control unsecured dogs in Ashburton?

Results up to 5pm, March 12 Yes 9%

No 91%

Ferne Are unsecured dogs not collected? And the owner has to pay to reclaim the dog? I thought this was the case. My dog is always secured. Wouldn’t want my dog getting run over or abducted. I Treat my dog with the same care as my child.

Superannuation entitlement Flagging changes to the age of entitlement for superannuation many years in advance is the right and responsible thing to do.

The Government policy is to progressively increase the age of eligibility for NZ Super to 67, starting in 20 years’ time. This will more fairly spread the costs and benefits of New Zealand Super between generations, ensure the scheme remains affordable into the future, and give people time to adjust. The age of eligibility for the Veteran’s Pension and the SuperGold Card will also increase.

Even after the change, someone retiring at age 67 in 2040 is likely to receive NZ Super for longer than someone who retires at age 65 today. That is because average life expectancy is increasing by about 1.3 years each decade.

Over the past 60 years life expectancy has increased 12 years, including an increase of four years since 2001.

When the age was set at 65 in 2001, a retiree could expect to spend about a fifth of their life receiving NZ Super. That has since increased to around a quarter. Following the proposed change, those eligible for NZ Super at 67 in 2040 can still expect to receive it for a quarter of their life on average.

Announcing the change now will also mean that political parties can debate superannuation transparently in the lead-up to this year’s election.

We are committed to the universal nature of New Zealand Super with no means or asset

testing. In addition, we remain committed to Super being indexed at 66 per cent of the average weekly wage. KiwiSaver will continue to be available to savers once they turn 65.

This Government has a strong track record of supporting older New Zealanders.

Since 2008 weekly payments to superannuitants have increased by 35 per cent after tax while inflation has increased by 14 per cent.

The Government is also proposing to double the residency requirements for NZ Super so that applicants must have lived in New Zealand for 20 years, with five of those after the age of 50.

People who are already citizens or residents will remain eligible under the existing rules.

The change will apply to people arriving in New Zealand after the legislation is passed.

The proposed changes to the age of eligibility and the residency requirements are estimated to save the Government in excess of 0.6 per cent of GDP or $4.0 billion annually once the changes are fully in place.

The changes will also bring New Zealand into line with other countries like Australia,

■ SYRIA

Bomb toll rises to 59 At least 59 people are dead and scores are wounded in a double bomb attack against buses full of Shi’ite pilgrims, mostly Iraqis, parked in front of a cemetery in downtown Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.

The two explosions occurred in the area of Bab al-Saghir Cemetery in the historic centre of Damascus, causing the death of 47 pilgrims and 12 members of security forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, according to the NGO. The observatory said one bomb exploded near the entrance to the cemetery on the parking-lot side, where nine buses were parked, and after that a suicide bomber on the cemetery grounds detonated the belt packed with explosives that he wore strapped to his body.

The NGO said the number of fatalities might well increase because several of the wounded are in critical condition.

The Syrian government previously reported that “more than 40” were killed and close to 120 wounded in that attack, the worst committed in the Syrian capital in over a year.

No terrorist group has as yet claimed responsibility for the attack, though the Syrian Foreign Ministry has accused in a statement both Islamic State jihadists and the old affiliate of al Qaeda.

Joni Sledge

Singer Joni Sledge dies Joni Sledge, who with her sisters recorded the enduring dance anthem We Are Family, has died at the age of 60.

Sledge was found dead in her home by a friend in Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday, the band’s publicist, Biff Warren, said. A cause of death has not been determined.

He said she had not been ill. “On yesterday, numbness fell upon our family.

We welcome your prayers as we weep the loss of our sister, mother, aunt, niece and cousin,” read a family statement.

Sledge and her sisters Debbie, Kim and Kathy formed the Sister Sledge in 1971 in Philadelphia, their hometown, but struggled for years before success came.

■ GERMANY

IS attack on German mall thwarted A foiled plot to bomb a shopping centre in the western German city of Essen was planned by Islamic State, security sources say.

A German man who travelled to Syria to fight with Islamic State was the suspected mastermind behind the plan.

The sources said at the weekend he had been in electronic communication with several people in the Essen region in order to contract out the attack.

The multi-storey shopping centre was evacuated and cordoned off yesterday after police said they received “very con-

crete evidence” from other security agencies that an attack was being planned.

The Joint Terrorism Defence Centre in Berlin had the German fighter on surveillance, sources said.

Two men from the nearby town of Oberhausen were questioned in connection with the incident and their apartments searched, police said.

But while they had been in contact with the German militant, security sources said they were not potential would-be perpetrators.

The German militant was once part of

the radical Salafist scene in Oberhausen, dpa learned. Salifists adhere to an ultraconservative interpretation of Islam.

Many details of the would-be attack remained unknown, including whether senior members of the Islamic State leadership took part in its planning, what stage of development it was in, and how many people were going to execute it.

The Limbeckerplatz mall usually sees about 60,000 visitors on a typical Sunday.

It is one of the largest urban shopping centres in Germany.

■ TURKEY

Turkish president calls Dutch ‘fascists’ A row between Turkey and the Netherlands has escalated as a Turkish minister was prevented from entering her country’s embassy in Rotterdam, the foreign minister’s landing rights were revoked and Turkey’s president dubbed the Dutch “fascists”.

The already strained ties between Europe and Ankara have deteriorated sharply over Turkish rallies planned in European cities. Turkish government officials are trying to whip up support among citizens living abroad for an upcoming referendum on vastly expanding the powers of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Family Affairs Minister Fatma Betul Sayin Kaya posted yesterday on Twitter that she was stopped 30 metres outside the Turkish consulate in Rotterdam.

The state-run Anadolu news agency said she was also stopped at the border by police before she entered the country from Germany.

Earlier, Turkey’s top diplomat, Mevlut Cavusoglu, had been scheduled to address a campaign rally at the Turkish consulate

in Rotterdam but was not allowed to land in the Netherlands after he threatened the country with sanctions should he be denied entry.

The Dutch government said in a statement that allowing Cavusoglu to hold the rally posed a security risk and his threat “made the search for a sensible solution impossible”.

The government had previously said a rally could not be held.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry summoned the Dutch charge d’affaires to Ankara and told the Netherland’s ambassador, who is currently not in the country, to refrain from returning for some time.

A statement from the ministry also threatened “serious consequences in the diplomatic, political, economic and other fields”.

The Dutch embassy in Ankara and consulate in Istanbul were then reportedly closed off for security concerns, according to Anadolu.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan then called the Dutch government “Nazi

remnants”, and warned there could be retaliatory measures. “From now on, let’s see how your planes come to Turkey,” Erdogan said at a rally in Istanbul, according to Anadolu, the state-run news agency. He also called the Dutch “fascists”.

Several Turkish campaign rallies in support of the April 16 referendum have been cancelled in European countries, including Germany and Austria.

Hundreds of Turkish government supporters had gathered outside the consulate in Rotterdam, some chanting slogans in favour of Erdogan and waving red-andwhite Turkish flags.

Speaking to reporters in Istanbul airport, Cavusoglu – who is expected in France this week – called the Dutch action “scandalous” and “unbecoming of diplomatic conventions”.

He accused the Dutch government of taking sides in the referendum, saying the Netherlands was afraid of a “yes” outcome because then Turkey “will become stronger, a more independent country”.

James Cameron

Avatar sequel delayed Another year, another Avatar postponement. James Cameron says the long-gestating sequel to his sciencefiction epic will not be released next year.

“2018 is not happening,” Cameron said. Cameron has been developing four more Avatar films simultaneously.

Though Avatar 2 had not officially been scheduled for next year, 20th Century Fox last November dated a film from Cameron’s production company for December 21, 2018. That means that at least a decade will likely follow Cameron’s 2009 Avatar before a sequel lands in theatres.

Grand designs on Antwerp

In a country as flat as Belgium, anything tall is a major attraction, and Antwerp’s cathedral is no exception. It’s possible to climb the tower’s 500 steps on a tour.

By Nick McAvANey

A

s a man who avoids buying clothes until his jeans are almost threadbare, my sense of fashion could (at best) be described as inept.

I know vintage handbags can be a serious investment and Jimmy Choo is a shoemaker. But that’s about it.

So as my train rolls into Antwerp, Belgium’s second city and one of Europe’s biggest fashion and design hubs, I begin to wish I’d invested a bit more time and effort in my wardrobe.

Fortunately, the city’s sense of style extends way beyond clothing. In terms of both architecture – and attitude – Antwerp, I soon discover, is seriously cool.

The journey to Antwerp takes three hours from London via Brussels on the Eurostar, so it’s within relatively easy, hassle-free reach.

I disembark at the striking Antwerp Central Station, rated as one of the most beautiful train stations in the world for its striking stone and marble interior.

Although originally built in the late 19th century, it’s a mish-mash of architectural styles.

“It’s got a few influences,”

our cycle tour guide, Nicolas de Belder, from Cyclant tells me, as we tour around the city on two wheels.

“Antwerp is very eclectic,” he continues, giving me a brief history of the city that’s home to around 500,000 inhabitants.

An important trading centre for sugar in the 1500s, it’s now best known for its diamond and chemical industries. It’s also one of the busiest ports in Europe and more important to Germany than Hamburg – or so Nicolas claims.

I’ve learned so much in my brief time in the city already, but there’s more to come.

Nicolas’ lessons extend beyond economics and design, to encompass a thorough explanation on how to take a bike on an escalator.

There are few bridges in Antwerp, making tunnels underneath the river Scheldt the best crossing points. Many are accessed via escalators, and city cyclists learn from a young age that the correct way to carry a bike on these moving stairways is to lock the front wheel against a step, creating a T shape.

I pop out on the river’s left bank, a far quieter part of the city with spectacular views across to

the old town and Antwerp’s port.

Rising high above the building tops is the spire of the Gothic Cathedral of Our Lady. The adjacent tower was never finished, only reaching a third of its intended height.

In a country as flat as Belgium, anything tall is a major attraction, and Antwerp’s cathedral is no exception. It’s possible to climb the tower’s 500 steps on a guided tour every Wednesday from April until September.

The viewing platform atop the Museum aan de Stroom (MAS), is far more accessible. The building is a prime example of contemporary architecture and reflects the city’s trading history and modern industrial focus.

Its unique design might be lost on the young lovers in front of me who are looking for a secluded corner at the top.

Deciding to leave them in peace, I join my friends in Bar Burbure, a copper-chromed bar which reminds me of 1930s New York. The tipples of choice here are locally-distilled bio gins.

Fresh ingredients such as pear, lavender and tangerines form the basis of the drinks, with no added sugar.

Beer, however, is ubiquitous in

Belgium, so I’m happy to be heading to De Koninck brewery.

It has been pumping out a fine selection of liquid amber since 1833, and the site has evolved to include a butcher, cheesemonger, bakery, chocolate shop and even a cycling store. Refreshingly, there is a ban on any chain retailers.

Many of the shops also collaborate together. Jitsk Chocolates, for example, pair their products with the beer produced in the factory.

I tour the factory on an interactive journey through De Koninck’s history. Of course, it ends in a bar where I need no encouragement to sample four of its products.

“11am is the best time for beer tasting,” our bartender explains.

“It’s when the taste buds are their most receptive after an overnight rest.”

Whether that’s true or not, I cannot deny the smooth taste of the beer on tap, nor fail to marvel at the amazing selection ranging from pale ale to strawberryinfused pilsner. Antwerp’s beer industry (like everywhere in Belgium) thrives on innovation.

It dates back to a time when the city’s water quality was so poor, beer was by far the cleaner and healthier option.

Innovation is driving the indus-

try forward, as there are more and more brewers sharing production facilities, leading to a wider variety of lagers, ales, crafts and brews.

Back in the city centre, walking off my liquid lunch, I stroll along Schuttershofstraat, where Chanel and Burberry sit alongside local designer stores Natan and Coccodrillo.

Many of the city’s artists and designers hail from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, recognised as one of the top three design schools in the world. Each year hundreds apply to develop their craft, but only 60 students are taken and only 10 will eventually graduate.

I laugh aloud when I overhear a tour guide declare locals would “rather not eat than have bad shoes” but I believe her statement to be true.

Perhaps I don’t fully appreciate the city’s concept stores and trend-setting designs, but what I’ve discovered in Antwerp is style, innovation and imagination to boot.

Next time though, I must bring a personal shopper to help plan my wardrobe. And an extra suitcase too.

Rain Saturday denied them the chance of an outright win, after being in a commanding position at the end of the first day.

Weather no deterrent for young triathletes A large contingent of Mid Canterbury children braved the elements to take part in the EA Networks Centre Kids’ Duathlon and Triathlon. Despite some initial concern over whether or not the event would actually go ahead due to the persistent rain, numbers remained high for the event with organisers over the moon with the outcome. “From our perspective it was a great outcome considering what we were faced with from the weather,” sports facility assistant manager Richard Wood said. “I stood on the course and it really looked like the kids were getting right into it and enjoying themselves, which was the main objective of the event for us.” Children from all age groups competed in the event which saw them swimming, cycling and running over a varying number of distances, dependent on their age.

Rain washes out final day

By Dave Williams Both New Zealand and South Africa will leave Dunedin a little frustrated after rain washed out the final day with the match evenly poised.

Play was abandoned shortly after 1.30pm yesterday. Dean Elgar was named man of the match for his innings of 140 and 89.

South Africa had been set to resume on 224-6 in their second innings, a 191-run lead.

South African captain Faf du Plessis says it is frustrating after four days of hard work.

They had put in a lot of graft on day four and New Zealand were a bowler and a batsman down through injury.

If they had gone on to set a target of 250 in 50-60 overs it would have been tough for the hosts, he said.

“We would fancy our chances for either a draw or a win. I think a loss would have been out of the equation.

“I think both teams played some really good cricket, and [honours were] pretty much 50:50 after this test match.”

Meanwhile, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is pleased with his team’s performance in both batting and bowling against the higherranked side.

All three results were possible going into the last day.

“It was nice to get a little lead going into that second innings,” Williamson said. “Obviously a shame to lose the last day to rain but it was shaping up to be a great game.”

Another, wing Nehe Milner-Skudder, injured an ankle in his team’s defeat to the Chiefs 24 hours earlier and also faces an uncertain future. It all adds up to a casualty ward which could raise the anxiety levels of All Blacks supporters before the British and Irish Lions tour in June.

■ RUGBY

England matches AB record England powered to its second straight Six Nations title and tied the All Blacks’ tier-one record of 18 straight wins by thrashing Scotland 61-21 at Twickenham.

England’s juggernaut under Eddie Jones heads to Dublin next weekend looking to become only the sixth team to clinch back-toback Grand Slams.

A win would also see England move to 19 in a row since October 2015, breaking the world record streak at rugby’s highest level achieved by the All Blacks.

The 136th Calcutta Cup proved to be an unexpected mismatch as the English crossed seven times to record their highest points total against their oldest international rival, and equal the biggest margin of victory in this fixture.

Elusive center Jonathan Joseph was the undoubted star, twice breaking the line in centre-field for tries in the first half and adding another soon after halftime.

Replacements Danny Care (two), Anthony Watson, and Billy Vunipola were the other try-

scorers in England’s bonus-point win that ends the race for the championship with one round to spare.

England inside center Owen Farrell passed a late fitness test on a leg injury and finished with 26 points from seven conversions and four penalties.

Outside centre Huw Jones was the standout player amid a horror show for Scotland, scoring two second-half tries.

The Scots, without a win at Twickenham since 1983, were

talked up massively in the buildup after impressive wins over Ireland and Scotland but they failed to handle the occasion and the increased weight of expectation.

Their hopes of landing a first Triple Crown in 27 years and a first championship since 1999 were ruthlessly torn apart by England’s best performance of 2017.

England has an unassailable eight-point lead over Ireland after four rounds.

Crusaders in another last-minute thriller

By Vince RugaRi The Crusaders have scored their second last-minute comeback in a row, pipping the Queensland Reds at the death with a 22-20 victory in Saturday night’s Super Rugby clash.

The Reds produced some of their best rugby in recent memory in an encouraging first half, but let it slip in horrendous fashion in the last 20 minutes to cop a heartbreaking defeat at Suncorp Stadium.

Mitchell Hunt split the posts from 35 metres out with just seconds left on the clock – after Samu Kerevi was penalised for sealing off the ball – putting the Crusaders in front for the first time in the match.

It comes after the Crusaders also snatched an incredible 30-27 comeback win last week over the Highlanders.

Remarkably, they did it with 14 men – following Jordan Taufua’s

It’s one thing to win ugly. Another, totally, to lose ugly. But that’s what the Blues managed – a right shocker of a game where they barely strung anything together and yet, probably should have sneaked home with the win. They had their chances – three really good ones in fact – to bang in the final nail but as was the case all night, they lacked composure and accuracy when it really mattered, going down to the Highlanders 12-16. The last minute will bug them because they had the ball, the momentum and the Highlanders down to 14 men. - NZME

yellow card for trying to punch Rob Simmons – and after losing All Blacks pair Israel Dagg and Seta Tamanivalu plus flanker Peter Samu to injury in the first half.

Dagg appeared to injure his right knee just before he spilled a Karmichael Hunt kick in the 11th minute and was immediately taken from the field, while Tamanivalu and Samu came off shortly afterwards.

They were already without test props Wyatt Crockett and Owen Franks, as well as injured fiveeighth Richie Mo’unga.

But the Reds have only themselves to blame for a range of costly errors and some woeful game management at the death, leaving the crowd of 17,931 fans stunned.

They had raced to a 17-0 lead after an early penalty and backto-back tries from Samu Kerevi and Eto Nabuli. Kerevi had a hand in both of them, busting through Jack Goodhue’s tackle to touch

Israel Dagg down in the 12th minute, then spinning through another from Codie Taylor to set up Nabuli.

Four minutes later, the visitors replied when Digby Ioane’s kick bounced over Nick Frisby and Kerevi and fell kindly for Mitchell Drummond.

The Crusaders were down 20-7 at halftime but a double from replacement Crusaders halfback Bryn Hall changed everything.

His first try gave them all the

momentum in the 63rd minute, but his next – touching down at the base of the post after a scrum inside their attacking 22 with less than five minutes to go – set up another incredible finish.

Reds coach Nick Stiles admitted they let a certain win slip, falling to their sixth-straight defeat to the Crusaders.

“This was our best week of training and the first time we really stuck to our game plan. We saw that in patches,” he said. “But the way they referee, they’re looking for a penalty in that situation when you’re trying to burn the clock and we overplayed our hand.”

Dagg, meanwhile, would be sent for scans today but Crusaders coach Scott Robertson was hopeful his injury would only sideline him for a few weeks – not months.

“I could talk about individuals, but the team collectively, the belief to come from behind and show a lot of composure (was amazing),” he said.

Argentina’s Jaguares picked up a significant win in their second season in Super Rugby, convincing -ly beating 2016 runner-up the Lions 36-24 in Buenos Aires in the last match of round three. The Jaguares forwards overpowered the Lions, and the backs outclassed them, despite the teams sharing eight tries. A rampaging run down the wing by flanker Tomas Lezana set up fullback Joaquin Tuculet for the Jaguares’ first score early, Ramiro Moyana added a second, and Jeronimo de la Fuente and Nicolas Sanchez rounded off compelling moves in the second half. - NZME

Waratahs down again The NSW Waratahs will return home from South Africa emptyhanded for the first time in Super Rugby history following an errorriddled 37-14 loss to the Sharks in Durban. A 27-point haul from the Sharks’ classy teenage five-eighth Curwin Bosch offset a try-scoring double from Israel Folau as the Waratahs backed up their 55-36 defeat to the Lions with another disappointing display.

Stormers march on The Stormers have maintained their 100 per cent start to the Super Rugby season with a six-try romp in a scrappy 41-10 bonuspoint win over the Southern Kings at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The Cape Town-based side led 17-3 at halftime and their expected victory never looked under threat despite turning over too much possession.

Sevens into quarters The All Blacks Sevens are safely into the Cup quarter-finals in Vancouver after a 33-12 win over Scotland that was pleasing as much for the defence as it was for flowing attack. Vilimoni Koroi was at the heart of much of the attacking flair, his chip and chase bouncing into Scott Curry’s arms for the second try. They beat Canada 15-14 in their final pool match.

In brief

■ AUSTRALIAN CUP

Sweet result for Carters The achievement of a well executed plan is certainly cause to celebrate so there was little wonder that Aucklander John Carter was feeling a little worse for wear less than 24 hours after enjoying his first Group One win on Australian soil.

Carter, who along with brother Mark and sister Rachael comprise the Jomara Bloodstock team, was on hand at Flemington on Saturday to cheer home Humidor, the horse they bred and still share in the ownership of, as he stormed to victory in the Gr. 1 Australian Cup. Touted as a Group One performer of the future after just a handful of starts in New Zealand, Humidor overcame a strong onpace bias on the day to down a quality line-up and notch his first elite level victory.

Notorious for some wayward tendencies during his races, Humidor put his best foot forward as he downed last year’s Caulfield Cup winner Jameka in a thrilling finish.

The result was another feather in the cap of master trainer Darren Weir who had Humidor enter his team in November last year after the Carter’s sold a 50 per cent share in the horse to a group of Weir’s stable clients.

Weir has played a patient game with the four-year-old Teofilo gelding who now looks as if he could become a major player at the upcoming Sydney autumn carnival.

Not that Carter and his siblings

Peaky Blinders in demand The eye-catching run of Peaky Blinders to win a Rating 65 Benchmark 1400m event at Ellerslie on Derby day ignited interest across the Tasman and the four-year-old is likely to do his future racing in Melbourne. “He is actually under offer,” part-owner and trainer Kylie Fawcett said. “The sad thing is after winning a $50,000 race and looking through the calendar to find another race for him they are all $20,000-$22,000 races.” - NZME

Ellerslie rescheduled The Auckland Racing Club is focusing on the silver lining from the dark clouds that have forced the postponement of their glamour meeting on Saturday. This week’s wild weather washed out the fixture and has resulted in it being rescheduled to Thursday when a seven twilight race card will feature the Gr. 1 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup, the Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes, the Gr.1 Sistema Stakes and the Gr. 2 Westbury Classic. - NZME

Second chance for Pike Divine intervention has kept Cambridge trainer Tony Pike’s group one Auckland Cup dream alive. He was all set to withdraw his in-form hope Chenille from the feature due to the sodden state of the Ellerslie track before the call was made to postpone. “A couple of mates rang me on Friday night to say it was hosing down again and I thought it was game over for us,” Pike said. “Her work on Thursday was outstanding and I couldn’t have been happier – she’s the best she’s been all season.”

Humidor with Damian Lane aboard after taking out the prestigious Australian Cup. are looking too far ahead, content to let Weir work his magic as they enjoy the ride.

“To be fair I’m feeling just a little dusty this morning,” admitted Carter as he made his way to the airport to catch a flight back to New Zealand yesterday morning.

“It’s not often in this game you get to celebrate like that so I think we made the most of it.

“It was just a magical moment and fantastic to be a part of.

“We’ve been lucky enough to win a Group One in New Zealand with Luna Rossa but to get a big one like this on Australian soil is just at another level.”

Carter, who flew to Melbourne on the morning of the race, admitted he hadn’t really enjoyed the build-up to the race during the day.

“While it’s a great feeling when you win, the nerve-wracking wait for the race during the day isn’t something I really enjoy.

“To Darren and Damian’s (Lane) credit they stuck to the tactics that work best for the horse.

“I think in the end he was the only horse to win from the back all day so that makes it a pretty special performance.” - NZME

Top day for Buick William Buick book-ended his Rosehill programme with winners as Godolphin’s leading jockey steered stable stalwart It’s Somewhat home to complement his first-race success on French import Spectroscope. The Norwegianborn British hoop made the ideal start to his secondment in Sydney when Spectroscope scored in the card-opening $100,000 Schweppes Handicap (1350m). He then finished with a flourish in the eighth when It’s Somewhat ($9.50) claimed the Group Two $200,000 Ajax Stakes by a long head from New Tipperary ($10).

Cowan soon had Kolee positioned nicely in midfield as the field made their way to the halfway mark in the contest.

With Kolee travelling sweetly

Cowan angled her into the clear to make a swooping run to challenge for the lead approaching the home corner. Local runner Skuffle took over early in the home straight but under a steady hands and heels ride Kolee responded to the challenge to gain the edge in the final stages.

Cowan, who is the daughter of well known former top jumps rider and now trainer Alex “Snooky” Cowan, was naturally delighted with the victory.

“It was absolutely outstanding, the feeling is just so surreal,” she explained when questioned after the race.

Shaun Johnson cupy similar territory on the ladder come September.

But Johnson warned against such longterm thinking, saying even his spot was under threat if he couldn’t produce the goods.

“Ata (Hingano) stood up (against the Storm), defensively he was outstanding, so maybe Foran and all of us have a fight on our hands to get that starting spot,” Johnson said.

The Warriors will look to get back on track next week against the Bulldogs in Dunedin, with Foran finally eligible but unlikely to play.

Big boots to fill at Souths By scott BAiley Alex Johnston wanted to prove to himself, as much as everyone else, that he was worthy to fill Greg Inglis’ boots for the rest of 2017 NRL season.

He certainly did that in South Sydney’s 38-18 win over Manly at Lottoland on Saturday evening.

Johnston himself had seen the headlines claiming Souths couldn’t possibly make the finals without their superstar fullback.

That their year was as good as over, and that virtually no-one could replace him.

That the Rabbitohs had lost nine in a row without Greg Inglis, with a combined forand-against of -207.

Then he proved them wrong.

“It was just going out there tonight and just trying to prove to myself as well as everyone else that I can play the position,” Johnston said. “He’s one of the best in the world, if not the best fullback out there.

“I tried not to let that get into my mind at all. I just wanted to play the best football I can, and play Alex Johnston style footy.”

Johnston was instrumental in Souths’ win.

With the game in the balance in the final 20 minutes, he sliced through the Manly defence to help the Bunnies to a 26-18 lead.

Then he put the icing on the cake, pouncing on a Robbie Farah grubber to score the final try of the match.

Johnston is not new to the fullback position. He’s played there eight times at NRL level, but grew up playing in the No.1 before being shifted to the wing on his first grade debut.

“I love playing there,” he said. “I love just getting in open space out the back and getting more ball and being able to attack.”

And it’s now at fullback he’s likely to stay for this season, impressing coach Michael Maguire in the win.

“It was good to see AJ play the way he did,” Maguire said.

“He’s always wanted to have a crack at fullback and he’s a South Sydney kid that has come through all the grades and it’s great to see him excelling.”

Sky’s the limit for Sharks’ Brailey He’s attempting to fill the shoes of one the key men in Cronulla’s NRL premiership success, but rookie hooker Jayden Brailey already has the admirations of skipper Paul Gallen.

The retirement of Michael Ennis after the grand final had been one of the Sharks’ biggest off-season personnel changes leading to questions over their capacity to defend their crown.

Advertising Telesales Are you a self-motivated, experienced sales person who absolutely loves telesales?

By Angelo Risso Shaun Johnson grew up watching Warriors legend Stacey Jones strut his stuff on the Mount Smart Stadium turf.

So it came as something of a shock to the 26-year-old when he broke the Little General’s club points record against Melbourne on Friday night.

“When Jim (Doyle) got me to sign that ball ...,” Johnson said, trailing off and shaking his head in astonishment.

“It’s crazy but it’s not why you play – you play to win games of footy.”

Johnson nabbed six points in the NRL round two encounter through a try and conversion, pushing him past Jones’ points record of 674.

Yet winning a game of footy was something Johnson’s Warriors were unable to do in the Auckland wet, going down 26-10 to last year’s beaten grand finalists.

Johnson lauded his side’s scramble and sense of fight in atrocious conditions, placing the blame squarely upon himself for poor fifth-tackle decision making.

“I just wasn’t able to put the ball in the right spots and that puts you under pressure a little more,” the Warriors’ No.7 said.

“Playing a tough team like that in conditions like that, it’s going to get you at some point.

“They came over the top at the end.”

Despite the loss, Johnson was glad his side could experience a first-rate, top- four opponent like Melbourne so early in the season.

After the club completed an all-Kiwi spine of Johnson, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Issac Luke and Kieran Foran in the off-season, plenty will expect the Warriors to oc-

HIRE

Brailey’s strong form in the Sharks first two matches of the season has been encouraging. The 20-year-old scored his first NRL try in Cronulla’s 42-16 thrashing of Canberra at GIO Stadium on Saturday.

“As far as being aggressive and have that right attitude to play first-grade, he’s got that in spades,” Gallen said. “If he keeps working on his attack and gets better then the sky is the limit for him.”

Cryptic crossword

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

WordWheel

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Don’t be quick to assume that another person’s behaviour is about you. Most people are focused on solving problems that have little or nothing to do with you.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): People around you will jostle for position, trying to get there faster and first. What if you thought of everyone as you but in a different body? How would you do it differently than they do?

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You may not want to share the conclusions you’ve drawn, as there are many around you, some close friends and colleagues, who won’t agree. Instead, share the facts that led you to draw the conclusion.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re going to rise to the competition. Do you know who it is? If you don’t have competition or it’s way too easy for you, this is the time to go find those with the level of skill and talent that will push you.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’ll be building on today’s accomplishments, so it’s important you lay down a solid base. It will be much better to do something slowly and correctly than fast and wrong.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The key to success will be hidden in something small. Capture it first to allow for the detailed study. Take notes, or record instructions, or take a picture you can zoom in to on a smartphone.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): In a way, it is selfish to point out your flaws or flubs. It brings the attention to you in a not very educational or entertaining way. Anyway, you’re the only one who will notice if you mess up today, so move along.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Flowers given at random are much more effective than the ones given on a birthday or as an apology. Good luck seems doubly good when it comes out of the blue.

Use the power of surprise to your benefit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): One hobby isn’t enough. You need three, really – one that lets you be creative, one that gets you moving physically and one that will help you meet beneficial social and professional contacts.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your competitive advantage is that you pick up conversational cues. This includes taking notice of the topics people bring up. Casual references are often significant and not throwaways.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): What seems like a pesky problem is an opportunity to execute a task differently than in the past. With your cleverness, you’ll shine all the while.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): There is a difference of many hours (perhaps years) between intimate knowledge and basic knowledge. If all that’s needed is a basic knowledge, don’t waste time learning more. Get up and running.

Sport Taylor out of second test Ross Taylor’s injured calf has ruled him out of the second cricket test against South Africa, with the hosts also sweating on key bowler Trent Boult. Taylor suffered a low grade tear to his right calf while batting in Dunedin on Thursday. He was able to return later in the innings but he hobbled between the stumps.

Yesterday it was confirmed he would miss the second test in Wellington, which starts on Thursday, but may yet recover for the third match in Hamilton.

Swimmers get ready to take part in the Ashburton Masters Swimming Group event at Lake Hood yesterday morning.

Swimmers brave the cold

BY MATT MARKHAM

MATT.M@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

More than 50 swimmers braved the inclement weather to take part in the Ashburton Masters Swim Group race at Lake Hood yesterday.

Despite the terrible conditions, competitors were not put off with only a handful of the record number of entries electing not to take part on the day, much

to the delight of organisers.

“We were really impressed with the turnout, especially considering the weather,” Helen Argyle said. “The water temperature wasn’t too bad actually, it was only when you got out that you really felt the cold.”

The swim, which catered for all ages over a number of distances saw swimmers from as far as Dunedin competing with

juniors also getting their chance to shine in the water.

The undoubted highlight however was the effort of Ellis Buchanan, who at 89, took part swimming in the two kilometre race.

“I swam with Ellis, for him to be doing it 89 is quite an effort, he was a little blue afterwards but managed to get through it.”

Argyle said it was pleasing to

see a large number of supporters on the banks cheering those on and the group were looking forward to their next event in August.

They will host the South Island Short Course Championships again and won’t have to worry about the weather with racing to take place inside at the EA Networks Centre on August 4 and 5.

Lydia v Trump?

New Zealand’s leading golfer Lydia Ko says she would accept an invitation to play golf with United States President Donald Trump, if he offered.

The women’s world number one admitted a lack of knowledge about politics, saying she wouldn’t hesitate to tee it up alongside the controversial President. “I don’t know much about politics, so I don’t really have a huge say on it,” Ko told golf.com. “It’d be an honor, I guess, to play with the president. I haven’t had that call yet so I wouldn’t know exactly.”

Hendry breaks New Zealand Open hoodoo Michael Hendry (right) won a threeway playoff yesterday to capture the New Zealand Open, becoming the first home-grown winner of the tournament since 2003.

The 37-year-old Hendry claimed his sixth professional title, and his third on the PGA Tour of Australasia, when he made par on the first playoff hole, the par-3 18th, while his rivals Brad Kennedy of Australia and Ben Campbell of New Zealand both put their tee shots into a greenside pond.

Hendry closed with a bogey-free 2-under 69 yesterday to finish at 19-under and set the clubhouse lead.

He was joined by Kennedy, who made a double-bogey on his open-

ing hole, but birdied the 17th for an even-par 71.

Campbell, who led at 20-under overnight, joined the sudden-death playoff when he birdied two of the last three holes for a final round of 72.

“It means the world to me,” Hendry said. “This is for me, other than winning a major, the biggest tournament that I can win.

“Just to finally get that monkey off our back with a Kiwi winning. I’ve never been that emotional coming off a golf course before. It was very, very special.

“My game plan today was hit every green that I could and get every putt to the hole and I achieved my game plan pretty well.”

Gunners run riot over Lincoln City P17

Mayweather ready to go Floyd Mayweather claims he is ‘officially’ coming out of retirement to fight Conor McGregor, urging the MMA star to sign terms with his UFC bosses so they can meet this summer. The five-weight world champion is ready to return in a cross-codes bout with the Irishman, himself a record-breaking two-title champion with the UFC, this June but says his opponent’s lust for money is threatening to derail talks. “I don’t wanna hear any more excuses about the money. Sign the paperwork so you can fight me in June, simple and plain. Let’s do it.”
