ASHBURTON COLLEGE’S

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A $50 million Government investment will see Ashburton College demolished and a new school built on the college site.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was in town yesterday to announce the major redevelopment deal and said the college would then be set up to accommodate the roll growth that would come with its rapidly growing population.

After touring the campus with senior staff and student executive members, Ardern said it was clear the school was in a poor condition and that a significant upgrade was required.

“I’ve seen the environment you work in and you’ve been left a little wanting in Ashburton,” she said.

“You walk into your library and it’s a bit like walking into an old pizza hut with buckets laid out around the room.”

The college had been promised new buildings for some time, but that time had finally arrived and with the $50 million investment, Ardern said the Government was confident the college environment would be the best it could possibly be.

“It will take a couple of years for a project of this scale, but we hope at the end of it you’ll have the modern learning environment you deserve.”

Her announcement was greeted with applause and cheers from teaching staff.

While it was education minister Chris Hipkins’ first visit to the school, he said he had seen plenty of photos that told the story of its physical state.

“These concrete block cells are a very old-fashioned way of thinking about education and I’m really excited about finally being able to give them this money,” he said.

There is nothing you can do to modernise these buildings. With concrete cells it was better to demolish than try to refit and reconfigure. A huge amount of work had already been done by the school to get the rebuild project to this point, but the real journey was only just beginning, Hipkins said.

Principal Ross Preece could not

stop smiling. Having the money committed to a rebuild of his school was the best gift any school community could receive, he said.

“It’s fair to say I’m pretty excited, but the hard work’s only beginning. The key now is in the planning. The indication from the ministry is that this is a total rebuild, except for the two gymnasiums, and they’re absolutely committed to the rebuild.”

Preece said that while he had done some preliminary design work in his head, that work would

be done by the experts with input from the college.

“For us flexible spaces are key and indoor outdoor flow, a variety of spaces and specialist classrooms and single cell environments too. We’re looking at a mixture and because it’s such a huge project we will have these options. We have input into what we want, but it would be a foolish principal who thought they could design a new school.”

He anticipates this year will be spent planning the rebuild, with

procurement to follow. As a total project, however, it could be a five-year build.

“If we were moved into the initial stages by the start of 2022 I’d be pleasantly surprised. Ministry property moves slowly, but they produce a good product.”

The college is now at maximum capacity with no spare classrooms, but it was fortunate to have vacant land on which the first stage of the new complex could be built, Preece said.

That land includes the horti-

cultural block, parking areas that were once the community pool precinct and the land on which Menorlue and Phoenix Preschool are sited.

The Menorlue building will be relocated ahead of the rebuild.

“We have a couple of community organisations who could be interested and we’d gift it to them to move off the site,” he said.

It was vital to retain Phoenix Preschool on the college campus, but whether the new school was built around this or the preschool

$50M FUTURE ELLESMERE While Ashburton College was celebrating its $50 million rebuild investment, Ellesmere College principal Ronan Bass was also celebrating.

His school received a rebuild grant of $30 million that will provide 35 new classrooms and see the existing gym and music suite refurbished.

The college is made up of classrooms that had been relocated from Timaru in the 1980s “This is exciting for our community,” Bass said.

was relocated to another part of the campus had not been decided.

“But that preschool is absolutely a godsend for us and we must keep it.”

The rebuild of Ashburton College will provide 64 new classrooms and will add extra non-teaching space. It will provide space for 1350 students and the site will be prepared for a roll of 1600 to accommodate forecast future growth. Currently the college has a roll of 1150.

Investing today to grow tomorrow $

50 million, it’s an eye-watering amount of money.

That money, however, is about to make a huge difference in the life of this district, in the life of this district’s students, in their futures, in our future.

Yesterday the Government committed to spending $50 million to rebuild Ashburton College, to create a learning environment that is suited to tomorrow’s world rather than the past. And that means that, for the second time in 50 years, Ashburton College will live the motto of the phoenix on its crest, it will rise again from the ashes of an old school.

The school’s board and staff have been working on this project for many months. There were never any guarantees, but they

never gave up on their dream of a school environment the community could be proud of, an environment that would equip our students for tomorrow’s world.

No matter how good a teacher, no matter how good a school’s philosophy, without good teaching space learning opportunities are hampered.

When parents consider a secondary school, they’re looking for a package that provides

top teachers, a belief in turning students into well-rounded adults and a school that has an environment that allows that to happen.

Currently the college provides two, but struggles with the third.

What worked in the 1980s doesn’t work today. The college’s built environment is its single biggest hurdle, but it’s a hurdle that will now be overcome.

While the money might be going into school buildings, bigger picture, it’s going into this community. With a school that has a learning environment that will match any in the country, we have one more reason for people to relocate to our district.

Ashburton College’s rebuild is yet another vote of confidence in this district, in its strong economy

and in its commitment to growth.

The Government only invests in something it clearly believes has value on a national scale. We have that in spades.

Confidence is what we must have if we want to continue to grow and to thrive. We can’t think small and look behind us, we must think big and look to the future.

The college team has done that.

They know where they want their school to go.

And while it’s training, passion and a love of the job that creates good teachers – as well as money, investment in school buildings will make it easier for our teachers to do what is one of the most important jobs around, opening young minds and preparing young adults to be tomorrow’s leaders.

Drop the formalities, Jacinda’s in town

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

At Ashburton College yesterday morning, senior students were anxiously tidying their hair, straightening ties and desperately trying to pretend they weren’t nervous about greeting the guest about to walk through the school’s front door.

Her limousine pulled up, Prime Minsiter Jacinda Ardern stepped out and formality immediately went out the window. She smiled, shook hands with staff, students, Ministry of Education officials and board of trustee members and that was the last traditional moment.

Ardern was at the college to announce the government’s commitment to fund a $50 million rebuild, but she was far more interested in touring the campus and talking to students.

Head students William Wallace and Mollie Gibson and deputy head boy Carl Cayanan stepped up as tour guides, with principal Ross Preece in tow. Their job was to ensure the PM was shown the college’s buildings at their worst, the leaks, the cracks, the makeshift cooling and heating systems.

First stop the college library, well known for its leaky roof.

“We have buckets strategically placed, when it rains we know exactly where they should be placed,” Preece said.

That drew a laugh from Ardern but she wasn’t to be outdone on the leaky roof.

“We have one of those in premier house too,” she said.

She talked to students in the library and they didn’t hold back when they told her about the difficulties that came with working in a leaking library.

And then it was on to another classroom where the problems of poor ventilation and even poorer systems of blocking out light to make words visible on a screen were demonstrated.

Ardern agreed, but her focus was on the students. She wanted a selfie, that quickly turned into a

ONGOING INVESTMENT Since February 2018 more than $60 million has been committed to school rebuilds in the Ashburton District.

On top of yesterday’s $50 million announcement to rebuild Ashburton College, there was already $10 million committed to Ashburton Intermediate and Allenton School.

The intermediate received the lion’s share of funding, $6 million to replace 11 prefab teaching spaces including the old school library.

An additional eight teaching

spaces in the two storey block will also be strengthened and refurbished.

Allenton received up to $4.5 million to replace five teaching spaces and build a new space. It will also have weather tightening work carried out on a number of buildings.

When he announced those investments education minister Chris Hipkins said that both schools had shown considerable resilience in dealing with their capacity issues.

through the door. Probably for the first time that morning they were speechless.

When asked what they wanted changed at their school, what was missing, they were stuck for words, but when Ardern asked if they wanted a renovation or a rebuild, the answer was unanimous – rebuild please.

“The fact that you guys have to have your school meetings on the quad, is that good, what happens if it’s raining? Looks like there’s a bit of a gap there,” she said.

One brave student raised a hand.

“It would be good to have some air conditioning,” she said.

“And some heating’s needed,” another student said.

Ardern looked around the room, spotted electric fans tied to window frames and agreed.

“Some of this is pretty creative air conditioning,” she said.

Teacher Graham Bock didn’t hold back.

“It needs to be modernised, it

needs to be a place the students can be proud of,” he told the PM. “Well we’re going to give you a pretty massive rebuild of your school and we’ll build the classroom space you need,” she replied.

A Year 11 english class were more forthcoming. The school was freezing in the winter and too hot in the summer, they said.

“Well I’m here to look at your buildings, what you do have and what you don’t have. Your library looks like it leaks, you can’t have school assemblies indoors so maybe we should give you an auditorium,” Ardern said.

With 11am set as the time for news of the $50 million investment to be released, Ardern checked the classroom clock and decided not to wait for the formal gathering in the school staff room.

“We’re here because we want to have the best possible place to learn and the best possible teachers. We’re basically going to rebuild your school. It’ll take

a couple of years and quite a lot of money so we’re giving you $50 million.”

There was a stunned silence in the classroom while the news sank in. Teacher Michael Clark was all smiles, knowing he’d heard the news before his peers.

As she crossed the quad, Ardern stopped to tie a balloon to the leg of a student taking part in a peer support activity, before she headed to the staff room.

There she could have been another teacher as she made her own cup of coffee, chatted to staff, talked to a staff member’s baby and did what she does best, mixed and mingled.

And then she stepped up to the lectern and told Clark because he’d had advance notice, he could make the announcement.

“It’s $50 million,” he said.

The staff room erupted.

Ardern joked that she had had an anxious moment after asking him to call the numbers – what if he’d added an extra zero?

Expedition adventure racers take on Rakaia Battle lines were drawn on the Rakaia River this week as multisport enthusiasts competed for the coveted GODZone Pure Champion Trophy and its accompanying prize money.

The winning team, Perpetual Guardian, came across the Akaroa finish line late yesterday, making themselves $10,000 richer in the process.

The team comprised world champion adventure racer Chris Forne, as well as Emily Wilson, Simone Maier and Marcel Hagener.

Race director Adam Fairmaid praised the four as super-motivated, and said they had gained an edge on Wednesday as they transitioned quickly from a trek over the Palmer Range to the packrafting section, which is 53 kilometres down the upper Rakaia River.

“They knew Tiki Tour would be right on their tail and wasted no time moving through,” Fairmaid said.

“Team Tiki Tour arrived an hour later, and were chasing hard with Team Swordfox following in third.”

On Wednesday the big push for these teams was getting as far down the Rakaia as possible before the “dark zone” on the river kicked in at 8pm.

“The further along they get before pulling off and camping overnight, the bigger advantage

If a new tourist levy planned to be implemented later this year filters down to the regions, Ashburton’s tourism boss Bruce Moffat said he’ll give it his unqualified support.

However, he said, that levy, likely to be $35, will probably find its way into a government pot rather than into the regions or into a fund that could be used for grants.

At the time the front-running teams had completed over 400 kilometres of the total 600 kilometre race, which started at Akaroa on Sunday.

The final two race stages included an 83-kilometre moun-

tain bike around Lake Ellesmere and onto the Akaroa Rail Trail, for an 83-kilometre ride to Wainui, followed by a 17-kilometre packraft across to the finish line in Akaroa.

Sixty-three teams of four, with members from Canterbury as well as throughout New Zealand

Levy a boost for regions

it’s what pot of gold it’ll go into that’s the question.”

If a percentage of the levy was given back to the regions based on the current economic value of its tourism spend, then at even half a per cent Ashburton would receive a significant amount that could be used to further develop the district’s tourism infrastructure, Moffat said.

“It would allow us to do more to drive and deliver tourism into our district but I can’t imagine it’ll get down to that level.”

The Government is imple-

menting the levy to ensure international visitors contribute to the infrastructure they use and help protect the natural environment they enjoy and there are likely to be some exemptions, such as Australian citizens and permanent residents and people from many Pacific Island countries.

Moffat also supports the electronic travel authority (ETA) fee of $9 that is likely to be introduced on July 1.

“It’s a very small amount and quite a number of countries around the world now operate

the system,” he said.

One of the big positives of an ETA was that it provided an unofficial register of who was in the country and that information was always useful in times of emergencies, Moffat said.

“It could become a really powerful tool.”

ETAs will cost travellers $9 if they apply via mobile phone, or $12 through the web, but New Zealand and Australian passport holders will be exempt.

The levy will be collected alongside visa and ETA fees.

Campaign to boost voter turnout Ashburton District has a traditionally high voter turnout in local body elections, but a new campaign for this year’s local authority election is aimed at lifting engagement higher.

Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) is running the #Vote2019NZ campaign, concerned about the declining voter turnout in many areas of New Zealand since the 1980s.

Ashburton had the fourth highest provincial voter turnout of 53.3 per cent in the 2016 local body elections, behind Whanganui 56.1, Invercargill 54.9 and Marlborough 53.7. City turnout is traditionally lower at 39.3 per cent and smaller rural areas variable. The highest turnout in 2016 was in the Chatham Islands, where 71.9 per cent of eligible voters went to the polling booth.

This year’s campaign will have a strong focus on younger voters as well as encouraging citizens with strong leadership qualities and a passion for their community to consider standing as candidates themselves.

LGNZ president Dave Cull said local body voter turnout varied significantly across different age groups and geographic areas.

The campaign is based on domestic and international re-

search about who is voting, who isn’t voting, why they aren’t voting and what will influence them to vote.

In the 2016 local body elections, national voter turnout was 43 per cent. Voters over 70 were represented nearly three times

more than voters in the 18-34 age group.

The main reason people gave for not voting was not knowing enough about the candidates, while others forgot or were not interested or too busy.

New Zealand’s local body vot-

er turnout is lower than Ireland, Denmark and Norway but higher than Australia, England and Canada.

Cull said in order to improve the statistics, the first step was to raise public awareness of the value of local government and

the role it played in the everyday lives of New Zealanders.

“Our aim is to grow citizens’ understanding of the breadth of services delivered each day by local governments across New Zealand, and the impact those services have on their everyday lives. By making that connection, we hope it inspires Kiwis to take a more proactive stance on the issues they care about in their communities,” he said.

They could get involved by voting or standing as a candidate.

Cull said local government faced major challenges, from environmental issues to major infrastructure replacement, and elected representatives needed to have the abilities, training and diversity of skills to rise to those challenges.

“Ultimately, how well local government performs impacts on how well communities and citizens prosper and succeed both now and into the future.”

Cull said democracy was both a privilege and responsibility and casting a vote was an important part of the process.

“Our goal is that, for the first time in nearly two decades, local government will be elected by a majority of New Zealanders.”

Networking while golfing Mid Canterbury’s young professionals will be able to network amongst each other on the golf course this weekend.

Tomorrow a St Patrick’s Day-themed Golf Day will be held at the Ashburton Golf Course.

Players are to meet at 3.45pm for a 4pm tee-off.

Mid Canterbury Young Professionals (MCYP) members and non-members are invited, where the cost is $10 and $15 respectively.

MCYP was established about four years ago, as a platform to socialise, network and

learn for those in the first 15 years of their career.

Spokesperson Penny Costello said membership had more than doubled in the past year to more than 40.

Social events are held bimonthly and business development sessions quarterly.

Last month, ASB’s head of coaching and development, Laurie Sharp, visited from Auckland, to teach effective networking.

About 30 learned a range of techniques around building relationships, believed to be among the most important tools for successful business.

Delivery of MMR vaccines to Mid Canterbury delayed

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Delivery of MMR vaccines to Mid Canterbury medical practices has been delayed, meaning many wanting to be immunised will just have to wait.

Medical practices throughout the district have been flooded with enquiries regarding the measles outbreak in Canterbury.

GP spokesperson Dr Eti Avnit said there was no need for concern, as there were still no Mid Canterbury cases among the 28 cases notified to date.

She wanted residents to be mindful of the fact that 95 per cent of those who had received just one MMR vaccination would be protected against contracting the virus.

Patients wanting to receive the vaccination were being prioritised to those between 12 months and 28 years old who had

no previous vaccination history.

Health Minister Dr David Clark said on Tuesday there was a total of 18,000 extra doses of the vaccine being transported to Canterbury over the next 24 hours.

A proportion is destined for Mid Canterbury, however, Dr Avnit said instead of receiving these this week, they may not arrive now until Monday.

At her practice of the Tinwald Medical Centre, a clinic was planned for Tuesday, where a bulk group of people would be immunised at once.

Despite the pressure the outbreak was putting on medical practices, she said it was good to see people seeking information on their immunisation requirements.

“People care, and people want to keep themselves safe and their families safe,” she said.

■ UNITED KINGDOM

No-deal Brexit rejected British MPs have narrowly voted against leaving the European Union with no deal in a non-binding vote – just 16 days before the country is due to split from the EU. They rejected a no-deal Brexit 312 to 308.

Previous votes had indicated only a minority of the House of Commons supported crashing out without a deal.

A no-deal departure would cause chaos at the border and trigger at least a short-term economic shock.

There is concern the chaos would spread to markets and supply chains, and others fear it could cause shortages of food and medicines.

UK Members of Parliament voted yesterday on whether the UK should crash out of the EU without a deal.

The EU is most likely to agree to a short extension for Britain to leave the EU after March 29, possibly through to May before elections to the European parliament are held.

Other options could be a second referendum or a snap election. There is also speculation cabinet Ministers could call on Prime Minister Theresa May to quit.

May has angered pro-Brexit members of her party by backing the delay with some telling The Sun a split in the party could not be avoided.

“The party is going to be

Abused by dad Rosie O’Donnell has claimed she was sexually abused by her father.

The 56-year-old actress alleges in an upcoming book Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View that she was abused by her father Edward Joseph when she was a child, and says the harassment stopped when her mother Roseann passed away when Rosie was 10. In an excerpt of the book Rosie told Ramin: “It started very young.

And then when my mother died, it sort of ended in a weird way, because then he was with these five children to take care of. On the whole, it’s not something I like to talk about.”

Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May speaks to lawmakers in the House of Commons, London, yesterday.

PHOTO AP fundamentally divided over this. We’re totally f****d,” one said.

A group of Conservative MPs from across the Brexit divide, have tabled an amendment to the so-called “Malthouse compromise”.

Their motion called for a post-Brexit transition period of up to three years even

in a No Deal scenario, which would give both sides the time to establish a future trade deal.

Mrs May initially planned to order MPs to vote against the amendment, but reportedly changed her mind after a tense Cabinet meeting where pro-Brexit ministers said she must leave it up to individuals.

But in a sign of the danger the UK now finds itself in, even that is far from certain to actually happen.

Even if the Malthouse plan were approved by the House Commons, the EU would be unlikely to agree a transition period without a comprehensive withdrawal agreement in place.

■ BRAZIL

‘What was the motivation of these killers?’

A Sao Paulo suburb prepared to bury its dead yesterday while looking for reasons why two masked former students armed with a hand gun, knives, axes and crossbows killed five teenagers and two adults at a school before killing themselves as police closed in.

Authorities said the pair also fatally shot the owner of a used car business nearby before launching the attack on the Professor Raul Brasil school in Suzano, a suburb of Brazil’s largest city.

Brazil has the largest number of annual homicides in the world, but school shootings are rare. In 2011, 12 students were killed by a gunman who roamed the halls of a school in Rio de Janeiro.

Besides the five students killed, the dead included a teacher and a school administrator, said Joao Camilo Pires de Campos, the state’s public secretary. Nine others were wounded in the school attack, he said.

“This is the saddest day of my life,” de Campos told reporters outside the school in the Sao Paulo suburb of Suzano.

Forensic vehicles transport the bodies of the people who were killed in a school shooting at the Raul Brasil State School in Suzano.

PHOTO AP Authorities identified the attackers as 17-year-old Guilherme Taucci Monteiro and 25-year-old Henrique de Castro.

“The big question is: What was the motivation of these former students?” de Campos said.

Monteiro’s mother, Tatiana Taucci, offered a possible answer, telling Band News while hiding her face from the camera that her son had been bullied at the school.

“Bullying, they call it. ... He stopped going to school ... because of this,” she said.

She said she was surprised by his involvement and found out about the attack from the television like everyone else.

Minutes before the attack, Monteiro posted 26 photos on his Facebook page, including several with a gun and one that showed him giving the middle finger as he looked into the camera.

In some of the photos, he

wore a black scarf with a white imprint of a skull and cross bones. No text accompanied the posts.

Facebook later took down Monteiro’s page.

During the attack, Monteiro opened fire with a .38 calibre handgun and de Castro used a crossbow, de Campos said.

He said forensics would determine how each of the victims died.

The attackers were also carrying Molotov cocktails, knives and small axes, authorities said.

“In 34 years as a policeman, it’s the first time I see someone use a crossbow like that,” police Col. Marcelo Salles said.

“It is horrendous.”

The assailants were trying to force their way inside a room at the back of the school where many students were hiding when police arrived. Instead of facing officers, Monteiro shot de Castro in the head and then shot himself, authorities said.

Students gathered outside the school recounted harrowing attacks and seeing several bodies lying in pools of blood.

Show gigs confirmed Auckland’s Royal Easter Show has announced its entertainment line-up and it’s sweeter than a Cadbury Creme Egg. The headline acts for this year’s event are local legends Tiki Taane, OpShop’s Jason Kerrison and Laughton Kora. The celebrated Zirka Circus returns to perform a brand new show, the adrenaline pumping BMX antics of the FMX crew, and – for the kids – The Looney Tunes’ Bugs Bunny, Tweety and Sylvester will all be onstage regularly throughout the day. There’s also the usual abundance of fairground style rides and attractions, markets and stalls.

Guns drawn for arrest FBI agents reportedly stormed actress Felicity Huffman’s home in a pre-dawn raid with guns drawn to arrest the star. The Desperate Housewives star was implicated in an alleged college admissions scandal along with other wealthy parents who allegedly paid millions to get their children into elite universities. A source told the Los Angeles Times that Huffman and others had recently received notice that they might face arrest. And sure enough sources told the paper that FBI agents showed up at her home with guns drawn to take her into custody.

Keep your

By Gareth Carter

This is our late summer period and many gardens reach their full beauty.

Hydrangeas are now past their best, but roses and silk trees are blooming.

Flower beds and borders are rich in colour with summer flowers in bloom.

English lavenders produce another flush of purple-blue flowers, summer lilies give off a delicious scent, many roses will produce another flush of flowers and grace many a garden with a blaze of colour.

Bedding plants or annuals are at their best and brightest and the orange and yellow marigolds and all colours of petunias, lobelia and geraniums brighten borders, containers and hanging baskets.

Some gardens also grow nicotiana (tobacco plant) just for their evening scent. Another flower at its best now is the tropical impatiens with bright red, pink and white flowers making a stunning display.

Often at this time of the year gaps can appear in borders. Planting a selection of perennials that flower later in the summer will help keep the borders bright.

Climbers such as clematis, honeysuckle and pandoreas, envelope fences and scramble up pergolas, trellises and over arches, to offer privacy and seclusion.

Roses require attention at this time.

Spent blooms should be removed during the flowering season to prevent the formation of seed heads, a waste of the plant’s energy.

When flowers or spent blooms are cut, a reasonable length of stem should be removed. New shoots have generally started to develop on the old flower stem and a clean cut should be made just above one of these.

GARDEN BLOOMING

New growth will come away quickly, resulting in more flowers. It is a good time to feed roses using Yates Dynamic Lifter, Novatec or Tui Rose Food.

Applying mulch to the soil during summer will help conserve moisture and keep the soil cooler; it will also reduce weed growth. It is best to apply mulch after the area has been thoroughly watered and cultivated.

If your soil has acidic tendencies or if heavy dressings of organic materials are applied annually, then a light application of lime will be of benefit.

Make sure the fertiliser contains potash — it helps to harden growth and makes the plants less susceptible to disease.

Potash will aid flowering and may help to intensify colour in the flowers.

Keep an eye out for pests and diseases on roses. Maintain regular sprays to control aphids, rust and blackspot. A good spray is Compat 3 in 1 for Roses, a combination spray containing insecticide, fungicide and a natural fish fertiliser with minerals and trace elements.

February is the first of the bulb planting months. In stores soon will be new season’s ranunculus and anemones in mixed and individual colours as well

as crocus, hyacinths and a number of daffodil bulbs.

They are excellent for borders, garden edges, pots and tubs as well as great to grow as a cut flower. Ranunculus corms resemble a claw which must be planted downwards 3-4cm deep in a sunny, well-drained position.

Blooms come in reds, rose, golds, lemon, yellow, white, etc, in doubles on strong 30-50cm stems. They are very effective planted in bold clumps 6-8cm apart, as ribbon borders in pots, or as cut flowers.

Anemone corms will display brilliant single or double flowers in full colour during mid-winter to late spring.

Plant 3-4cm deep and 10-15cm apart, making sure that the flat part of the corm is uppermost. Best in a cool spot if planting now. They look great when planted between roses.

Anemones and ranunculus can be difficult to germinate. They should be chilled for 5-6 weeks in the fridge (not freezer), then soaked in fresh running water for 10-12 hours prior to planting.

Reports for propertythe risks If you’ve been to an open home recently, or been browsing the ‘for sale’ adverts, you might have noticed that some sellers put together information packs for potential buyers.

These sellers will know that researching a property takes time and money, and they don’t want this to be a barrier to a successful sale.

They believe that providing information like a LIM (a Land Information Memorandum from the local council) and a building inspection report can help busy people get an offer on the table. This is great in theory, but you need to tread carefully all the same.

If, for example, a real estate agent or seller gives you a LIM for the property, check carefully when it was prepared.

A LIM is a summary of all the current property information held by the different departments at a council at the time.

It contains details of council consents for any work done, how much the rates are and information on any geographic hazards that might have an impact on the property, such as subsidence.

Bear in mind that this information can be reasonably general – the LIM for most houses in Wellington will say that they’re located in a high wind area, for example. If the LIM is dated a couple of weeks ago, it’s safe to assume it’s reasonably up to date. If it’s dated a year ago, it’s a good idea to make further enquiries. Getting a LIM costs money in most areas (prices vary from council to council).

You can also ask to see the property file held by the council, which holds other information about a property, like a site map and original house plans.

Building reports are a bit trickier.

Using a building report provided by the seller (or the real estate agent working for them) may seem like an easy option in the short term.

However, if you buy the property and then find problems with it that cost a significant amount to fix, you’re not protected by the building report because the inspector’s contract is with the seller, not you.

The Real Estate Authority (REA) recommends using an accredited property inspector who complies with the New Zealand building inspection standard 4306:2005. Their written report will identify any current defects as well as highlight any urgent and long-term maintenance required.

Look for someone who has a good level of indemnity insurance, as this will protect you if you buy the property and then find you need to fix something that wasn’t in the report.

Building inspections do come at a cost, but we think it’s worth it to be sure that you’re fully aware of what you’re signing up for. Depending on the age of the house you’re looking at don’t necessarily expect a thin report saying there are no issues. Many wooden houses in New Zealand are over 50 years old and there will be things the inspector needs to point out.

Make sure you understand what normal age-related matters are (that may not be major issues), compared to significant repairs needed in the short term to fix a problem. The report you receive should separate these things out–if it doesn’t, then ask the inspector about the difference.

If you end up with a report with a lot of information about the property it doesn’t mean you should walk away.

Instead, see it as giving you the opportunity to know what you’re buying. Doing this before you make an offer means you are fully aware of what the property may need to have done to it and your offer figure can reflect that.

However, if you don’t feel comfortable paying for a building report before you make an offer, you can make a property inspection a condition of your offer. Like most things in life, buying a property will go more smoothly if you put the work in. If a short cut seems too good to be true, it usually is.

www.guardianonline.co.nz

This beauty’s still a beast L oad up your family or grab a few friends and experience the smooth and comfortable ride of the Nissan Navara.

With 5-link rear suspension it is as capable and comfortable off-road as it is on road.

In the front, the fatigue-reducing all day comfort seats create a neutral posture that improves blood flow to make long rides considerably more pleasant.

In the back, passengers will enjoy plenty of legroom plus their own air conditioning.

And if you’d rather opt for a little fresh air, there’s the press button sunroof and a rear power sliding window.

Whether you’re looking to pull a heavy load at work, or for a weekend away, the Nissan Navara makes it easy.

All of the diesel engine models can muster up the grunt to pull a massive 3500kg braked towing capacity.

Tackling hilly terrain?

Now you can do it with more confidence and control.

On an incline, Hill Start Assist (only available on ST-X 4WD model) can help keep you from rolling backwards when you’re accelerating up a hill from a stop.

And Hill Descent Control (only available on ST-X 4WD model) helps you maintain steady speed and braking, so you get down a steep grade more safely.

The Nissan Navara also has a host of safety features standard across the range: seven airbags including driver knee airbag, Vehicle Dynamic Control, Traction Control System, Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist.

Optimum performer A

udi Sport has launched an innovative high-performance model onto the market: The Audi RS 5 Sportback.

It combines stirring design and a high level of everyday usability with superior performance.

The exterior design of the new Audi RS 5 Sportback combines stirring curves and taut, athletic surfaces.

The longer wheelbase, short overhangs and long, wraparound engine hood with power dome all emphasise the dynamism of the model.

The characteristic wavy shape of the powerful shoulder line is a visual highlight of the high-performance coupé.

When viewed at an angle from behind, the moulded sides look particularly impressive.

Here, quattro blisters emphasise the strong bulges over the wheel housings, which have been extended by 15 mm.

At the front, the Sportback features a wide, flat single-frame grille, solid air intakes with a honeycomb structure, and a front spoiler with matte aluminium quattro lettering.

Aside from the headlamps,

the vehicle features additional design elements in gloss black, making the RS 5 Sportback appear even wider.

An RS-specific diffuser insert, RS exhaust system with oval tailpipes and fixed spoiler lip give the rear end its sportiness.

The RS 5 Sportback comes with 20inch 5-arm trapezoidal alloy wheels as standard and a range of options to customise the look to suit your style.

The 2.9 TFSI V6 twin turbo engine offers both power and efficiency, and can achieve 331 kW. Its maximum torque of

600 Nm is deployed throughout a wide speed range from 1900 to 5000 rpm.

The Audi RS 5 Sportback accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h.

The two turbochargers of the 2.9 TFSI V6 twin turbo generate up to 1.5 bar of charge pressure.

As with all new Audi V6 and V8 engines, the turbochargers are mounted at a 90-degree angle to the cylinder banks, which means that the exhaust side of the cylinder heads is inside, and the intake side is outside.

This

layout enables a compact design and short fuel paths with minimal flow loss – the 2.9 TFSI engine reacts extremely spontaneously to the movements of the right pedal.

The power of the 2.9 TFSI has transferred to the quattro permanent allwheel drive with centre differential via an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission with optimised shift times that is specially tuned to sporty driving.

It distributes power asymmetrically 40:60 between the axles – this guarantees dynamic handling with optimal traction alongside the greatest possible safety.

When slippage occurs on an axle, most of the power immediately flows to the other axle – up to 70 per cent to the front, and up to 85 per cent to the rear.

This locking effect enables a clearly-defined torque distribution and precise cooperation with the control systems.

Drivers can create their own personal driving experience – to make it more customised, more dynamic or more comfortable – using the Audi drive select dynamic handling system, which is fitted as standard.

The high-quality, sporty interior of the new Audi RS 5 Sportback is finished in black and provides space for five people.

A vintage occasion

T

hink Playboy and maybe one thinks of magazines and bunnies.

And perhaps of the infamous Hugh Hefner.

But look what we’ve discovered – 70 years ago this week a car bearing that name was launched, but without a bunny costume anywhere to be seen.

Introduced at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, it was produced by the Playboy Motor Car Corporation of Buffalo.

The car was powered by a 4-cylinder, 40 horsepower Continental or Hercules engine and featured an all-steel convertible disappearing top.

Fewer than 100 cars were built before the company went bankrupt in 1951.

Perhaps if the company had adopted the same marketing ploys as Hugh Hefner it may have been more successful.

Mind you it did have one thing in common with the famous magazine which bears the same name – the disappearing tops!

It would be another four years – 1953 – until the famous magazine first appeared.

Maybe Hugh Hefner came up with the name for his magazine after seeing one of the cars.

Or maybe not!

It’s pretty unlikely we’ll see a Playboy car on the Vintage Car Club National Easter Rally taking place right here in Ashburton in five weeks’ time.

But there will be plenty of other fascinating vehicles to be seen around our district.

At least 160 of them.

Organising something on the scale of a national rally is a huge commitment with organisers waiting with bated breath and trepidation for entries to arrive.

After all some costs like venue hire are the same regardless of number, but somehow a budget has to be prepared.

Predict a low number and entry fees will be too high – hope for large numbers and there could be disappointment and cost over-runs.

The organisers of the Easter Rally were almost spot on the mark.

Almost but not quite – they based their budget on a slightly lower number and are

Bernard Egan MOTORING

now absolutely delighted with the response.

People – and there will be a lot of them given there will be an average of at least two per vehicle – are coming from near and far, in fact from one end of the country to the other.

While most vehicles will have at least two occupants, we do know that there’ll be two people travelling solo, on motorcycles.

Our very own motoring writer Roger Hart will be one, riding the family vintage AJS motorcycle on his own. That should make for an interesting road test!

The vehicles coming to the Easter Rally range from the very old to more modern.

The event will be a great celebration of motoring and it’s a celebration the Vintage Car Club wants to share with the community.

So on Easter Sunday April 21 there will be a public display at the Ashburton Racecourse between 10.30am and 2.00pm.

And what’s more the club hopes enthusiasts will bring along and display their own cars.

Those wishing to do that won’t need to register, just show up on the day. The more the merrier, and a fun thing to do on Easter Sunday.

It will certainly be a great opportunity to mingle with other enthusiasts and see some fabulous vehicles.

And who knows, there could be an Easter Bunny there, but probably not a Playboy one.

And probably not a Playboy car.

Mores the pity.

It would incredible to see one of those.

The car we’re talking about. (Editor’s note: Yeah Right!)

The Easter Rally coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Ashburton Branch of the Vintage Car Club.

300 mph. Off the shelf.

B

ugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren.

These are just some of the manufacturers that have been beaten to one of the biggest hypercar milestones of the modern era.

That’s because Swedish brand Koenigsegg has just revealed its new 1176kW Jesko – the first road-legal car that’s capable of hitting speeds of 300mph, or 483km/h.

The monumental achievement was claimed by the vehicle maker this week with the release of its eighteenth model, officially unveiled for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Jesko’s arrival comes just 24 hours after fellow Swedish automaker Volvo announced all of its cars sold from 2020 will have a restricted top speed of 180km/h – less than half what the new Koenigsegg will be capable of.

The Jesko – named after owner Christian von Koenigsegg’s father – utilises a five-litre twin-turbo V8 engine to catapult it to speeds never before experi-

enced by drivers of road cars.

That said, it does need to cheat to get there.

That’s because the full 300mph-hitting 1578bhp of power quoted is only available when the hypercar has E85 ethanol racing fuel pumped into the 5000cc motor.

Using conventional high-octane unleaded, the power is sapped to 940kW - though that’s terrifyingly potent.

Torque - or pulling power - stands at around 1500Nm, so it should fire off the line with unhinged abruptness before unrelentingly accelerating to 483kmh when the throttle is mashed.

Koenigsegg hasn’t revealed what the drop in power does to the overall top speed and

400km/h-plus potential - not that you’ll ever be able to get near the unfathomable figure on the road.

While Volvo – synonymous with safety – said this is part of bigger plans to cut road deaths, Koenigsegg’s warp-speed hypercar seems less concerned with this matter.

What also helps the Jesko hit speeds not yet achieved by any car with number plates is the sheer lightness of the construction. It uses a carbon fibre monocoque to keep mass as featherweight as possible, while the V8 engine tips the scales at just 189kg, making it the world’s lightest V-mounted eight cylinder ever.

The next-gen Plus Six I

n its landmark 110th year in business, the Morgan Motor Company is excited to introduce the next generation of Morgan sports car, debuted this week at the Geneva International Motor Show.

The all-new Morgan Plus Six is, without exception, the most dynamically capable Morgan ever produced.

Further extending Morgan’s unique blend of craftsmanship and technology, the Plus Six celebrates Morgan’s timeless design, underpinning it with the newly introduced CX-Generation aluminium bonded platform and the latest BMW powertrain.

An expanding in-house Research and Development team, a growing list of strategic technical partners and an extensive testing programme ensure the Plus Six is the most thoroughly developed Morgan product to date.

The Plus Six represents several firsts for Morgan, most notably the first time the company has utilised a turbocharged engine.

The BMW 2019 B58 TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine is a latest generation BMW powertrain and Morgan has worked alongside BMW to fine-tune the performance capabilities of the Plus Six. A closer look at the iconic Morgan silhouette gives a number of clues to just how radically different the Plus Six is to any other Morgan model before it. Subtle vents provide a hint of the raw power and performance that underpin the beautiful flowing lines of the exterior.

Make no mistake, whilst familiarly Morgan, almost every part of the Plus Six has been refined or redesigned, with less than one percent of the 4000 parts being shared across other Morgan models.

A completely redesigned cabin celebrates the natural materials used within Morgan craftsmanship, as well as offering greater levels of personalisation than ever before.

The new cockpit is more driver-focused and encompasses appropriately introduced technology, whilst also allowing customers more leg room and increased stowage space.

OUR VIEW

It’s clear we’re a district going places I

f you’re in any doubt about the future of this district, then take a look at a couple of big dollar investments for our patch that have been promised or signalled this week.

Just shy of $100 million could be poured into our district over the next three or so years on projects that will take life in our patch to a new level.

Yes, the number is choke-worthy, but what it says about our future is that it’s big. Money like that isn’t spent without good reason, without sound research and without confidence in a return on investment.

The double funding whammy

has come over the past two days, one, a $50 million hand-out from the government for the rebuild of Ashburton College and the second a commitment by our council to build the district a new library and civic centre that will come with a likely price tag of $45 million.

Unfortunately community reaction to the two big ticket items is very different. The college news announced yesterday is clearly a cause for celebration. We’re getting $50 million to spend on a completely new school. No one’s arguing with that one. It’s not our money, we don’t care. Or is it?

The government isn’t printing the money in a back room, it’s taking it from tax it collects from guess where – our hard won earnings. It’s money that could have been spent anywhere on anything but the government opted to spend it here.

At the end of the day, we’re paying for the college rebuild, we just

won’t notice the dollars leaking from our bank accounts.

That says a lot about this district and its future. The government clearly believes in us, in our role in the overall economy and the important part we play in the life of this country.

And it’s the same with the civic centre and library project. It’s got more than a few people riled up.

It’s not the project, it’s the cost most don’t like, particularly when the original estimate was half the amount.

You get what you pay for.

You could say, like the college deal, that it’s not our money either. We pay our rates and the

council spends that money as it deems necessary. They deem this project necessary. And it is.

Public facilities are important.

We can choose to use them or not, but their quality or not makes a statement about a district, about how we’re perceived by the rest of the country. The quality of public facilities are often the deciding factor when people are looking for a new place to call home.

And we want and need people to call this place home.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, March 15, the 74th day of 2019. There are 291 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On March 15, 44 BC, Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of nobles that included Brutus and Cassius.

On this date: In 1493, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus arrived back in the Spanish harbour of Palos de la Frontera, two months after concluding his first voyage to the Western Hemisphere.

In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson met with about 100 reporters for the first formal presidential press conference.

In 1916, a US expeditionary force led by Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing entered Mexico on an ultimately futile mission to capture Pancho Villa, whose raiders had attacked Columbus, New Mexico, killing 18 US citizens.

In 1919, members of the American Expeditionary Force from World War One convened in Paris for a three-day meeting to found the American Legion. In the most serious breakdown of discipline in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the European theatre, hundreds of men rioted at Sling Camp on Salisbury Plain.

In 1944, the 6th New Zealand Brigade attacked the Italian town of Cassino as part of the Allies‘ advance on Rome. By the time the New Zealand Division was withdrawn in early April, 343 New Zealanders had lost their lives.

OFF THE AIR

I

watched the sports news on Monday gob-smacked, the disgraceful images of a football hooligan running onto the pitch and king-hitting Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish left me speechless.

I know ‘derby’ games are very passionate affairs over there but that is a whole new level of wrong!

It was brilliant to see the Universe provide for the Villa skipper, who scored his side’s winner late in the game.

I loved the spin Grealish put on the incident after the match.

“It’s the best day of my life, I got to captain Villa in a derby match and scored the winner”.

Great to hear that Birmingham City FC have banned the mongrel from St Andrew’s for life and the courts have handed him a 14 week spell in jail. Wouldn’t it be a dreadful shame if he received some king-hits while he’s inside.

On reflection, blowing kisses to the Villa supporters while police escorted him from the pitch was not the smartest move and being behind bars may be a lot safer place for him now.

I don’t understand what happens to football fans in the UK. They go from being good blokes to mindless thugs in a micro second.

I remember getting between two mates in a boozer in Scotland after a bit of friendly banter about ‘their’ teams got out of hand.

Us Kiwis are passionate rugby supporters, but we are able to rib each other without coming to blows about it.

While in Aberdeenshire in the early ’90s I did have the opportunity to experience football hooliganism in the flesh.

I worked as a labourer for a stonemason named Jock. He was six foot six, built like an Aberdeen stone outhouse and a black belt for good measure.

He was a good bloke, although he did get very frustrated with the Kiwi not understanding him.

He had a very very broad Scottish accent.

For the first month that Jock, Russell (the Scottish labourer) and I worked together, we would drive 14 miles into the city first thing in the morning and back again after work. Three of us would sit across the front seat

Every now and then one of them would say “Eh Kiwi” and I would nod in agreement, even though I hadn’t understood a word either of them had said.

Jock was a former Aberdeen casual (thug) who were notorious in the ’80s. He told me he used to go all over Europe following his beloved Aberdeen.

He said he was past all that now and hardly went to the footy at all anymore, but he and Russell decided the Kiwi should experience a game of footy, so they got us all tickets to the Celtic v Aberdeen clash at Pittodrie the following Saturday.

happened to be the goal they chose for the shoot-out. Seeing Robson, Hughes, McClair and co knock them in right in front of me was pretty cool for a Man Utd fan from NZ. Game day started with breakfast in the city, with whiskey swigs from the hip flasks snuck into the restaurant.

Then off to a pub until kickoff. For the record, Jock had a black belt in drinking as well. I did my best to keep up!

The atmosphere was ramped up a lot more than the United/ Aberdeen friendly. The Celtic supporters were restricted to one stand behind one of the goals. We were in the stand next

I don’t understand football fans in the UK. They go from being good blokes to mindless thugs in a micro second.

I had already had a taste of footy in the UK, at the same ground, when Sir Alex Ferguson took Manchester United back to his previous club Aberdeen for a pre-season friendly.

That was a huge buzz. The game ended one-all and a penalty shoot-out followed. Luckily the only seats I could get were at one end of the ground, which

to them. The banter between the two stands was anything but friendly!

It wasn’t just insults that flew between the two stands, all sorts of missiles were airborne including 50p coins which I’m sure would leave a nasty mark if they hit you in the swede.

It was an awesome game and finished tied at two-all. Celtic

scored their goals in the second half. Some of their supporters had sneaked their way into ‘our’ stand and naturally enough leapt to their feet in celebration when Celtic scored.

That started a domino effect, the Aberdeen supporters leapt on the Celtic supporters and then the police leapt on all parties fighting and escorted them out of the ground.

It was nice that some of the thugs being escorted offered others some thoughts on their family trees and warned them about their fast approaching demise. Very generous!

I’m happy to report Jock didn’t get involved in any fighting but he did suggest to several of the opposition supporters that their parents may have been cousins.

I just sat back and took it all in as best I could, although I was seeing double of everything now, thanks to that sneaky hipflask.

I certainly didn’t get the urge to run on the pitch and king-hit any of the players.

Just like some players who get white line fever, I guess a lot of football supporters get hooligan fever.

I’m not sure it is something that can be cured any time soon.

Till next week, Hoo Roo Phill Hooper, football fan.

■ BOEING MAX 8

In brief

Grounding ‘nightmare’ Flights are cancelled, airlines are in a logistics nightmare and passengers are wondering how high airfares may now spike as Boeing announced it would ground its worldwide fleet of MAX 8 jets.

The planes started to be wheeled out of service at airports around the United States within hours of the Federal Aviation Administration issuing an emergency order to ground 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 aircraft until further notice, in light of Sunday’s deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash.

The last MAX 8 aircraft in US skies was believed to be Southwest flight WN2569 from Oakland to Newark airport.

After resisting a decision for days, Boeing has now confirmed it would ground all 371 of its MAX aircraft worldwide “out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft’s safety”.

The decision may cost the US jet-maker up to $7 billion.

Civil aviation authorities, including in Australia, had already banned the aircraft from their

own airspace as investigators worked to determine the cause of Sunday’s crash that killed 157 people. Black box recorders from the crashed plane are on their way to Paris to be analysed.

In the US, airlines have been frantically working to re-accommodate customers booked onto flights serviced by MAX aircraft.

Southwest Airlines, Boeing’s biggest customer for the MAX, has had to ground 34 of the

Iconic Wellington coffee chain Mojo has become the latest business in the city to join a reusable coffee cup-lending movement. From yesterday, Mojo customers can pay a $3 deposit for a reusable keep cup to have their coffee served in, which they can then bring back to the cafe and exchange for another clean cup. The zero-waste cuplending system is run through Wellington company Again Again, which focuses on ending singleuse waste in a way that supports the local coffee culture.

Guest nights plateau New Zealand’s accommodation providers reported flat guest numbers in January as more domestic travellers made up for a dip in foreign visitors. Total guest nights were largely unchanged from a year ago at 4.97 million, in what is typically the country’s peak month for accommodation, Stats NZ said.

Of that, domestic guest nights were up 1 per cent at 2.88 million, offsetting a 1.4 per cent decline in international guest nights to 2.09 million. “Flat guest nights may reflect increased popularity in other types of accommodation,” accommodation and construction statistics manager Melissa McKenzie said.

planes, which serviced about 150 flights every day. Its passengers are being offered flexible policies to re-book travel.

American Airlines has put its 24 MAX planes out of action, while United Airlines said about 40 daily flights would be affected.

The three airlines said they remained confident in the safety of the MAX but would comply with the FAA’s order.

Former FAA official Stephen

Lloyd said while airlines had some reserve aircraft, it was not enough to make up for the dozens of planes now out of service.

But, he added, MAX aircraft were only a small part of the airlines’ fleet.

“It’s certainly going to be felt, but it’s really only a small handful of planes that we’re talking about here,” Lloyd said.

Airlines may face a plane shortage, said Ahmed Abdelghany, a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida.

“For every 50, 60 aircraft, you might have one that’s coming out of maintenance,” he said. “Most airlines don’t have spare aircraft.”

Boeing could lose up to $7b by grounding all MAX planes.

The FAA said the decision to ground the MAX followed the discovery of new, unspecified evidence at the Ethiopia crash site that linked it to a similar fatal crash in Indonesia in October.

It also came amid new reports of pilots’ concerns with error messages in the cockpit of MAX 8 planes.

Brexit hogs headlines I

t was a mixed week for global markets as Brexit uncertainty and concerns of global growth continued to weigh.

Back home house prices continued to rise (with the exception of Auckland), while volumes decreased sharply.

In the US, shares of Boeing came under pressure following the grounding of its 737 MAX aircraft across the globe.

In corporate news, shares of Restaurant Brands touched new record $9.00 after Finaccess Capital announced its partial takeover bid for the company at $9.45 had gone unconditional.

The owner of KFC in New Zealand recently reported a strong result, posting 7.2 per cent growth in annual sales, driven by its overseas operations.

At the other end of the spectrum, shares in Sky TV bounced off some record lows while Fletcher Building weighed on the local benchmark as investors contemplated ongoing headwinds in the real estate and construction sectors.

REINZ data for February saw median house prices rise but volumes fall.

Median house prices across New Zealand increased 5.7 per cent in February to $560,000, climbing to a new record high.

Excluding Auckland, the median house price increased 8.1 per cent.

Auckland continued to buck the trend, declining 2.0 per cent.

The number of days to sell a house increased to 47 days from 44 days a year earlier, while, volumes were down 9.5 per cent.

Jeremy Flood ON THE MARKETS

Auckland volumes were hit harder, down 17.9 per cent.

Gisborne and Manawatu/Wanganui saw the biggest increase on the year, rising 25.8 per cent and 23.4 per cent, respectively, while Southland (+20.8 per cent) and Wellington (+16.2 per cent) posted solid gains.

British lawmakers on Wednesday rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal to leave the European Union, paving the way for a vote that could delay Brexit until at least the end of June.

Lawmakers defied the Government by voting 321 to 278 in favour of a motion that ruled out a ‘no deal’ Brexit under any circumstances.

Slowing global growth remains a key concern for investors.

Late last week, the US jobs report showed the US economy added just 20,000 jobs in February compared to an expected gain of 180,000, marking the weakest month of jobs creation since September 2017.

Separately, Chinese trade data showed exports fell 20.7 per cent on the year last month, missing expectations of a 4.8 per cent decline.

In economic news, the United States consumer price index

rose 0.2 per cent in February, its smallest annual increase since June 2017.

The figure matched market expectations and gave some investors a reassuring sign that the Federal Reserve will continue to hold off on further interest rate cuts.

Many expect the central bank to be even more dovish at its policy meeting next week.

Staying in the US, shares of Boeing posted their biggest two day drop since June 2009 amid worries over the safety of its planes.

The US, UK and China all announced they have grounded the company’s 737 MAX model, following steps already taken by Europe and other nations following Sunday’s crash in Ethiopia.

It marked the second fatal crash in months.

At the time of writing, shares of Boeing were down 10.7 per cent for the week.

Across the Tasman, the Australian dollar skidded lower after a consumer confidence gauge triggered fresh concerns about a slowing economy.

A measure of Australian consumer confidence slumped to what was its lowest in over a year in March, adding to recent signs of weakness in the the country’s economy.

Ashburton Guardian 29

In brief Spankem still running Miracle Mile hero Spankem is set to race on this season setting up a big-three battle for harness racing’s Horse of the Year honour. And crucial votes in the contest could end up being won at Alexandra Park next month as Spankem clashes with elite stablemates Turn It Up and Chase Auckland. After his surprise thrashing of his Miracle Mile opponents Spankem was sent for a veterinary examination as is so often the case with All Stars-trained runners at the end of long campaigns.

Any sign of soreness would have probably seen the four-year-old sent to the paddock but Mark Purdon liked what the vets had to report and Spankem will be Aucklandbound next month.

Rondinella Aussie-bound Cambridge trainer Roger James is pleased with the way Rondinella has come through her last-start placing in the Gr.1 Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes (2000m).

The four-year-old mare, prepared in partnership with Robert Wellwood, finished third behind Melody Belle and Danzdanzdance on an unsuitable Heavy track at Ellerslie last Saturday. “There is every chance she is going to run in Australia next start,” James said.

“Quite possibly in Sydney next weekend.”

Group Three targeted Taxihome, with Krishna Mudhoo aboard, was sitting three wide when they went past the post for the first time at Ashburton yesterday, and the trip told as the Iffraaj gelding faded to finish last.

■ ASHBURTON

Taxihome misses the bus A tough trip put paid to any hopes of a hometown success for Taxihome in Race 7 at the Ashburton gallops yesterday.

The locally-trained gelding opened up as favourite in the market for the R82 2200m race, but eventually tailed off to finish last in the five-horse field, and

kept his unfortunate run of not returning a dividend at Ashburton going.

The race was taken out by Lady Bealey, with jockey Corey Campbell taking the ride for trainer Steven Woodsford.

Pamir, a five-year-old bay mare by Raise the Flag, ran on

for second for trainer John Luxton and jockey Roohan Mudhoo, with Speedy Jax running in to third for Kevin and Pam Hughes.

Race 1 was always destined to be a Michael and Matthew Pitman first four after the scratching of the Kenny Moore-trained

Theonlyway reduced the field to four runners.

The Pitmans also took out the NZB Insurance Pearl Series race, with Thunder Bay getting home under the urgings of Kavish Chowdhoory to upset the punters in the sixth race on the eight race card.

The Stephen Marsh-trained Ardrossan will trial before resuming his Australian campaign later this month. The Redoute’s Choice entire arrived in Sydney last week with a temperature, which resulted in his withdrawal from last Saturday’s Gr.1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) at Randwick. Marsh said he has improved considerably since his arrival and will now be set to tackle the Gr.3 Star Kingdom Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill later this month. “He has improved a lot,” Marsh said. “He will trial on Monday at Rosehill and from there he will head back to Rosehill on the 30th of March and will run in a Group Three 1200m race.” Ardrossan was in good form in New Zealand earlier this year, winning the Gr.3 Concorde Handicap at Ellerslie in January.

In brief

■ RUGBY

Huge task for Highlanders The Highlanders are moving past kicking the ball away and handing it back to the opposition, but are going to have to be deadly accurate with the ball in hand come Saturday night.

The Highlanders will take on a Crusaders team which is playing some sublime stuff, and has scored 23 tries in the first four games of the season.

The men from Christchurch are fresh off a 50-point thumping of the Chiefs, and will bring plenty of confidence to Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Statistics provided by Sanzaar through Opta Sports show the Crusaders have won 10 of the past 13 matches against the Highlanders.

The Crusaders have won 19 games in a row, with eight victories away from home on the trot.

The last loss for the side was against the Highlanders in the equivalent fixture last year.

To win tomorrow night, the Highlanders need to get into their game quickly and put some points on the board to get the Crusaders out of their comfort zone.

But that is easier said than done.

In the past eight games, the Crusaders have limited the opposition to single figures in the first half.

In the past few years, the Highlanders have been seen as a team which plays field position and has become comfortable in kicking the ball back to the opposition.

It would back its defence and

then try to gain turnovers from where it could launch counter attacks.

But the game plan appears to have been tweaked by the new coaching team, led by head coach Aaron Mauger, as the side looks to hang on to the ball.

Though it is early days in the competition, the side is kicking the ball from hand an average of 20 times in a game.

That statistic was usually up in the 30s last

season and earlier, as the team looked to be dangerous without the ball a lot of the time.

This is further backed up by the side stringing together on average more than 144 passes a game, the fifth-most in the competition.

The Crusaders lead that statistic with nearly 175 passes a game.

Josh Ioane

The side from Canterbury is adept at moving the ball from side-to-side and hanging on to the ball.

Surprisingly, the Crusaders are making 136 tackles per game, the second-highest in the competition, which indicates they may not have a lot of the ball.

The Highlanders do not have a great tackle success rate.

The side sits at 83 per cent, which is the worst of all the teams in the competition. It needs to improve that on Saturday night.

The Highlanders, led by first five-eighth Josh Ioane, has an 80 per cent success rate with goalkicking.

It will be interesting to see if he wins selection for the Highlanders this week, as he struggled somewhat last game out against the Hurricanes.

But it was never going to be easy for the first five-eighth in a tight game played in horrible conditions in Wellington.

Richie Mounga has been off target with his goal kicking, and consequently the Crusaders are only kicking at 50 per cent.

The Crusaders will be without All Black prop Joe Moody because of an ankle injury, but will welcome back Sam Whitelock, who has sat out the first four games of the season because of an agreed rest with All Black management.

All Black skipper Kieran Read is still a couple of weeks away from returning to the on-field action.

- NZME

ABs to face the Force A trio of World Cup-winning All Blacks have been named as part of a World XV outfit to take on the Western Force in Perth on March 22. Former All Blacks Andy Ellis, Wyatt Crockett, and Corey Flynn feature for the World XV. The side, to be coached by Robbie Deans, features players from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Argentina, South Africa and Tonga. All up, the squad includes 10 players with test experience.

- AAP

Whitelock returns The Crusaders face a rare experience this week; a trip to a city where they lost their last game, but they travel to Dunedin with the extra security of a returning Sam Whitelock and prop Owen Franks, who will celebrate his 150th match.

Crusaders: 15 David Havili, 14 Braydon Ennor, 13 Jack Goodhue, 12 Ryan Crotty, 11 George Bridge, 10 Richie Mo’unga, 9 Bryn Hall, 8 Whetu Douglas, 7 Matt Todd, 6 Jordan Taufua, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Scott Barrett, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Andrew Makalio, 1 George Bower.

Wales up for Slam The pressurised atmosphere of Wales’ Six Nations decider against Ireland will be the perfect opportunity for players to prove their World Cup credentials, according to number eight Ross Moriarty. Victory in Cardiff will seal a Welsh Grand Slam and the Six Nations title for the first time since 2013. Ireland are defending Six Nations champions and could yet retain their crown if they win and Scotland grab a win over England.

Six Nations deal threatens global test league

By Liam Napier Self-interest always loomed as the greatest threat to World Rugby’s Nations Championship plans, and the Six Nations unions now stand on the verge of pursuing that path to potentially kill off hopes of a global test league.

One day before union bosses, World Rugby executives and players’ representatives meet in Dublin where they will attempt to thrash out the problematic details of the proposed Nations Championship, news has emerged that the Six Nations is considering a staggering £500m offer for a 30 per cent stake in the jewel of Northern Hemisphere rugby.

The eye-catching figures have been tabled by former Formula One owners CVC Capital Partners – the same private investors who acquired a 27 per cent stake in England’s Premiership Rugby for £200m in December.

In further evidence of their push into rugby, CVC is also thought to be close to buying a major stake in the Pro14.

No deal between the Six Nations and CVC is believed to be imminent but, if accepted, it would

almost certainly scupper the Nations Championship concept in any form.

Such a path would leave everyone else out in the cold facing the same chilling financial challenges, with no sense of warmth in sight.

Scotland and Ireland are already believed to oppose World Rugby’s global league plans, mainly due to their objection with the crucial element of promotion relegation.

CVC’s offer is thought to be based on the Six Nations being taken away from free to air television, with Amazon the likely paytv partners.

In a strategy dubbed Project Light, the Six Nations unions are said to have been in talks for the past 18 months over pooling their commercial interests.

Selling off to a private equity group will provide short-term cash injections, with some suggesting each union could net up to £100m, but such a move is not in the best interests of the global game.

Long term, it could also mean 30 per cent less revenue year-onyear.

Convincing individual nations to consider others was always go-

Scotland and Ireland already oppose plans for the global league. ing to be World Rugby’s biggest hurdle – these latest developments proving just how difficult it will be to reach any form of agreement.

The upshot for the Southern Hemisphere nations is their pathway to a stronger financial future seems increasingly shaky.

Leading players from New Zealand, Australia and South Africa continue to chase lucrative salaries in the north and revenue streams are tightening.

Sanzaar nations are, therefore, desperate to secure what has been touted as a 40 per cent uplift in

revenue – a boost of anywhere between £5m to £10m anually, should the Nations Championship progress.

World Rugby outlined its controversial concept for the new tournament last Wednesday, saying it would start in 2022.

It would feature 12 teams in each of its three divisions.

The top division would be comprise a northern conference – the Six Nations sides – and a southern conference, featuring the four Rugby Championship teams and two others, expected to be Fiji and Japan.

Each team would play each other once a year, either through their own competition, or in one of the July or November test windows.

On this basis the Nations Championship would provide exposure to the likes of Fiji, and also include promotion and relegation to provide a pathway for emerging nations.

In other developments, after strong pushback from leading players concerned by their welfare, World Rugby is thought to have ditched the semi-final stage of the concept.

That would mean a maximum of 12 tests per year for the two finalists – 11 for others.

Outside those commitments, the All Blacks and Wallabies would still be permitted to play one extra test in order to contest the Bledisloe Cup each year.

Unless Six Nations powerhouses can be convinced to vote for a global way forward, though, such details will be purely academic, and it could be back to the drawing board for the financially struggling southern nations.

The Nations Championship could now be a dead duck.

In brief Big bucks for the refs The NRL’s top officials are set for a major boost to their annual salary after the referees union reached an agreement with the league, avoiding a potential strike.

Referees will see a significant increase in salary over the next four years as a result of the agreement, with salaries set to rise by 30 per cent by 2022, with the top referees earning more than $300,000 each year. In 2018 the top officials earned around $180,000.

From player to coach John Morris might be the NRL’s youngest coach but he insists he’s not a complete clipboard rookie.

The 38-year-old will make the maiden appearance of his second coming in the top grade against Newcastle at McDonald Jones Stadium tonight, the same ground he debuted at as a Knights player 18 seasons ago. The 300-gamer’s career spanned four clubs and included playing under Tim Sheens and Brian Smith, who he’ll now draw upon as influences. “I finished playing in 2014, it’s not like it was yesterday,” Morris said.

The new-look Knights

Summer squash nearing the sharp end Billy Nolan serves it up as Harry Stanway awaits during a Celtic Squash Club summer league game on Wednesday night. Nolan eventually proved too strong in this top-grade encounter, just having too many shots in his arsenal for his opponent. The competition, played at the club’s Keenans Road courts on Monday and Wednesday nights, has only a few weeks left to run, before players begin to shift focus to the main squash season, when the interclub competition begins and the clubs run their tournaments.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Warriors ready to fire The most lethal right edge in the NRL has been dismantled but winger David Fusitu’a believes the Warriors are now freed up to fire on both sides.

Fusitu’a was the competition’s leading tryscorer in 2018 with 23 tries from 23 games, more often than not on the back of some fluent work inside.

The Kiwi club’s right edge laid on a competition-high 42 tries, often sparked by halfback Shaun Johnson or some timely passes from second-rower Tohu Harris or centre Pita Hiku.

Johnson has left for Cronulla while Harris and Hiku will line up on the left side in Saturday’s opener against the Canterbury Bulldogs in Auckland.

It isn’t yet clear whether Blake Green or fellow-half Adam Keighran will be stationed on the right, with Keighran having only recently been certified as Johnson’s starting replacement.

However Fusitu’a is satisfied with the combination established over the off-season with experienced pair Adam Blair and Solomone Kata inside him.

“It’s exciting, we’ve been work-

“Follow me, everything is alright.”

They’re the Uncle Kracker lyrics Kurt Mann opted to belt out as part of Newcastle’s annual tradition for club debutants to sing before their NRL season-opener. Fitting, because Knights coach Nathan Brown is trusting his new-look team to abide by those words as they enter a critical year in their long-suffering rebuild. Seven new faces, including David Klemmer and Tim Glasby, were forced to tune-up their vocal chords before tonight’s round-one battle with Cronulla.

The Knights are expecting a crowd close to last year’s bumper roundone figure of 23,516 to herald the new campaign.

Titans’ time to deliver Nathan Peats has always set the standard on the Gold Coast, so naturally the hooker is happy to finally see the new-look NRL squad catching up. Regarded as the Titans’ fittest man, Peats likes the physical look of the side that will turn out in Sunday’s seasonopener against Canberra. And he can take a bit of the credit after leading an optional pre-season fitness crusade that put the likes of Bryce Cartwright on track before Christmas. Second-year coach Garth Brennan admitted last week some players took pre-season shortcuts under his watch in 2018 but Peats said that was a thing of the past.

Townsend pulls rank

David Fusitu’a was the leading tryscorer in the NRL competition last season. ing hard on those combinations on attack and defence on both sides of the park,” Fusitu’a said.

“We’ll go into this weekend with a lot of confidence in our game structure.”

Coach Stephen Kearney is equally confident the transition will be seamless.

Harris was a left second-rower

for four seasons at the Melbourne Storm while Kata played most of his junior football on the opposite edge, only switching when Konrad Hurrell locked down the Warriors right centre berth.

Kata ran strongly last year but was often accused of failing to link effectively. He was also caught out defensively at times.

It prompted a plea to Kearney early in the off-season.

“Sol demanded that he go to the right edge. He wanted to go and work on the right-hand side with his fellow-Tongan teammate in David,” Kearney said.

“I thought ‘that sounds pretty good, they’ve got a closeness there’. It’s working out ok.” - NZME

Premiership-winning half Chad Townsend has reminded cocky young gun Kyle Flanagan of his place after he retained the No.7 jumper for Cronulla’s NRL season opener in Newcastle tonight.

Relishing the chance to reignite his halves combination with former Warriors team-mate Shaun Johnson, Townsend admits he was taken aback by Flanagan’s bold preseason plan to unseat him in 2019.

“I’m not going to wait around for my turn to come, I’m going to go get it myself; 100 per cent I want that jersey,” Flanagan said. - AAP

Give it your best shot

By Erin TaskEr

Target Shooting Mid Canterbury (TSMC) is opening its doors to the public on Sunday and offering people the opportunity to give the sport a shot.

TSMC, together with the Coronation and Phoenix target shooting clubs, will run the open day from 10.30am at the home of both the Coronation and Phoenix clubs, the range at 420 West Street.

Attendees will receive an introduction to smallbore target

shooting and get the opportunity to have a go themselves.

TSMC president Nina McKenzie said it is exciting to be getting under way for the season.

“The open day is an opportunity for people who are interested in knowing what we do and having a go, as well as people new to town and people who have previously shot but would like to return,” McKenzie said.

“We will give an introduction to the sport and ourselves, a safety induction, and then have many coaches on hand to guide

and assist those keen to have a go.”

Target Shooting Mid Canterbury will provide the ammunition and McKenzie said they’ll have many members on hand to provide assistance and share their enthusiasm for the sport and their groups.

Introductory work will get under way at 10.30am and the club hopes to be ready to start rounds for keen participants after that.

“As well as a safe, positive exposure to our sport, we hope that people will enjoy it enough to

consider coming back for some more,” McKenzie said.

TSMC has a newcomers night with the Phoenix Club on Tuesdays, starting the second Tuesday in April at 7pm.

McKenzie said they’re ready and willing to provide the same level of excellent support and coaching as previous years and are excited to see lots of people from last year’s open day returning this year.

For safety reasons, have-a-go participants on Sunday must be aged 12 or older.

Mostert pushes Mustang to the front Under-the-weather Supercars ace Chaz Mostert has turned in a superb reaction to his Adelaide 500 stuff-up by putting his Ford Mustang on top of the timing charts at the Australian Grand Prix.

Mostert was almost half a second faster than the field in a sharp showing at the Albert Park street circuit, finishing the meet’s

In brief

first practice session yesterday with a 1:55.5743 lap.

The Tickford Racing ace t-boned Rick Kelly in pit lane a fortnight ago to kill the Nissan man’s hopes of a decent points haul on the opening weekend of the campaign.

Mostert apologised and accepted blame for the bungle, one of a number of errors that befell

car No.55 over the weekend.

The 26-year-old looks set to increase his return this weekend, as long as he can shake a nasty cold that had him spluttering in pit lane.

Mostert said he was also battling communications issues, even if he was able to put his Mustang on top by throwing on fresh tyres late in the 30-minute session.

Series leader and reigning champion Kiwi driver Scott McLaughlin spent much of the session on top before sliding down the ranks to be eighth, without fresh tyres.

Shane van Gisbergen finished third-last after completing the fewest amount of laps for the field, complaining of a bad splitter vibration.

Hungry for more success, Lewis Hamilton added a twist to offseason preparations before launching his quest for a sixth Formula One world championship. He binged on snack food. Less for the taste of it, more for the effect it would bring. Eating a belly-full first and then doing extra hard workouts to turn that needless excess fat into muscle meant Hamilton returned to the track looking bigger than ever. He wasn’t the only F1 driver to relax the diets and beef up the body after a rule change took away an advantage for being lighter. - AAP

Appeal still undecided Andrea Dovizioso will know by the end of the month whether his victory stands from the seasonopening MotoGP race in Qatar after four rival teams protested the legality of the Italian’s Ducati.

Rosenqvist big threat Scott Dixon’s biggest threat may come from within his own team in this year’s IndyCar competition.

Five-time champion Dixon finished second to 2017 champion Josef Newgarden in the season-opener in Florida, but it was newcomer Felix Rosenqvist who turned heads. The Swede has joined Dixon at Chip Ganassi Racing from a short but successful stint in Formula E and immediately looked comfortable. He led the actual race for 31 laps before finishing just off the podium in fourth.

Langer inspires Always looking for a motivational edge, Australia coach Justin Langer asked his charges to cast their minds back to November as they prepared to face India in Delhi.

The fifth ODI served as a high-stakes series decider which the tourists won by 35 runs, but it was also the culmination of some four months of hard work for Langer and many members of the team.

India played 11 matches in Australia earlier this summer, squaring off in three Twenty20s, four tests and three one-dayers.

Australia’s tour of India featured seven games; two T20s and five ODIs. The scoreline during that combined stretch was delicately placed at 7-7 when the final match started in Delhi.

“We used that as a bit of motivation,” Langer said.

“Incredibly proud of the boys ... it’s been an incredible arm-wrestle from the moment India arrived in Australia.

“To end a really, really, really tough summer against a very good Indian side and have won eight games, drawn one and one no result – it’s a pretty good achievement.”

Langer could see confidence building despite Australia suffering a 2-1 ODI home series loss to Virat Kohli’s team.

“We were getting closer and closer ... we were moving in the right direction,” he said.

Langer wouldn’t be drawn on what the result would mean regarding the World Cup but made it clear the 3-2 series win on the sub-continent carried plenty of importance for a range of reasons.

“We know how hard it is to win in India,” he said.

“To win this series, particularly after be-

“Winning the T20 series was a huge achievement as well, because we know India have been the kings of white-ball cricket over the last little bit.

“India got the better of us in Australia, although it was so tight, then we were able to get the better of India out here.”

Kohli suggested the tourists were hungrier in the final three ODIs of the series, likening their approach to that which India adopted in Australia.

“We were more brave than them in the pressure situations in Australia,” he said.

“Here, when they sensed that they had a foot in the door they made sure they didn’t let us close the door.

“It’s good for their confidence ... they deserved to win.”

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): The scene you’re part of today is pretty challenging. Imagine you are the filmmaker who created this situation to set up your main character to shine in a later scene.

That perspective can lessen your stress.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): No matter what headspace you’re in today, you have the ability to slip into a zone where everything is beautiful.

Probably this involves that hobby or activity that’s become your happy place.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Opportunities to stretch yourself usually happen organically, but when they don’t, why wait? Make deliberate efforts to challenge yourself. This will be the difference between adequacy and greatness.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The changing of an old guard is coming. Your respect and deference to power is genuine and you’ll be well-considered when the time comes to move up. That said, there are injustices with which you’ll never go along.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re enthralled by certain kinds of entertainment. It’s like some performances can spiral to deep layers of your consciousness, giving you deeply needed soul-nourishment.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Saying “no” isn’t as hard for you as for some others. That’s why you don’t like to put people in a position of having to agree or disagree with you. Instead, you’ll present ideas and just see what happens.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Volunteer. You’ll love who you meet through this. It won’t be all easy or fun – in fact, this promises to be a completely mixed bag – but one special contact will make it all more than worthwhile.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Recovery, renewal and regeneration – three stages. To expect them to happen all at once is frustration. Instead, relax and recognise the stage you’re in for it’s vital place in the chain.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You hate to reject anyone, but saying “no” leaves an opening for a better fit. Don’t agonise over choices, or your tone will bring others down. Look at the positive you do by moving quickly on.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): No one’s job is always easy. Even kings, wealthy socialites and celebrities have problems. Don’t wish for a different set of problems. There’s greatness waiting inside the set you’re on.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Probably no one is going to tap you as the leader, so tap yourself. With your talent, drive and well-chosen words you can stir up people and strengthen their spirit.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Consider your next move for three days. Maybe “consider” is too strong a word. No active thinking, discussing or writing will be necessary. Give it a rest. You’ll know better on Monday.

Crockett to face the Force

Serving it up at Celtic

GREEN MACHINE A LITTLE RUSTY

P33

BY JAIME PITT-MACKAY JAIME.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A mid-week pre-season game has created more problems than solutions for Celtic’s coach, but Shane Enright is not prepared to make excuses about his side’s performance.

The defending Watters Cup champions took on Geraldine under the lights at their Keenan Road ground and lost 29-22.

A slow start made life difficult for the hosts, struggling to keep any ball in hand as regular errors kept them in their own half and the ball in the opposition’s hands.

“We were terrible,” Enright said.

“The boys were a little bit on edge.

“It wasn’t what we expected from the game and what we had been working on in training.”

The loss of players continued for the green machine, who have

already lost a number of players from last-year’s squad, after firstfive Ryan Greenslade broke his ankle.

“He had his ankle broken in the last minute of the game with what was a dangerous tackle,” he said.

“He is in a cast now in and will be in it for six weeks so he will be targeting a return in the Watters Cup. “I’m not going to make any excuses, we will just have to do the best with what we have got.”

It wasn’t all doom and gloom for the greens; on several occasions during the match things clicked into place and some attacking moves made huge inroads into opposition territory, although some of those moves were stymied by final passes going to no-one, or ball simply dropped cold.

The side have this weekend off, before another pre-season game against the Mackenzie Country the following weekend.

Celtic’s Angus Lindsay reaches for the sky in a lineout in his side’s 29-22 pre-season loss against Geraldine on Wednesday evening.
