In the face of falling dairy prices it’s business as usual for a Pendarves family. In a day of doom, yesterday farmers awoke to the news the latest Global Dairy Trade (GDT) price index had dropped by 10.7 per cent from the previous sale a fortnight ago to register its biggest fall in 12 months. Whole milk powder, responsible for about 75 per cent of Fonterra’s farmgate milk price, fell by 13.1 per cent to $US1848 a tonne – hitting its lowest level in six years. Fonterra’s current milk price forecast of $5.25 per kilogram of milksolids for 2015/16 is based on GDT prices reaching about $US3500 a tonne towards the end of this season. The ANZ bank responded by revising down its Fonterra farmgate

milk price to between $3.75 and $4, well below the $5.70kg/MS DairyNZ estimates as the break-even point for most farmers. Later in the day Fonterra announced 523 jobs were to go to save up to $60 a million a year on its payroll. Pendarves dairy farmer Frank Peters has seen it all before. He’s been in the business since the 1980s. “When we started sharemilking in 1984 we got $4.12 for a pound (0.450kg) of butterfat which it was called then,” he said. “In our second year it was $2.25 a pound. “Prices have been up and down like a yo-yo ever since.” Frank and his son Kane have a plan in place to get through the tough times ahead. Capital expenditure will be pared

back to the bare essentials, fertiliser will also be kept to basic levels. While times were good they invested in a winter feed pad and two fully automated milking sheds. Mr Peters said yesterday’s news came as no surprise – and he’d been preparing for it for a while. “We’ve got good feed reserves, and we grow most of what we need on farm,” he said. A lucrative winter milking contract will also help with the cashflow over the next few months, while many farmers will be running on empty. But he said it would be a different story for those new to the industry – in particular lower order sharemilkers.

Baby Ayla now in Canada The baby daughter of Jerry Collins and Alana Madill is now safely in Canada with Alana’s parents, Ruth and Darrell Madill. A media statement released yesterday by the former All Blacks’ agent Tim Castle says Ayla, now nearly 4 months old, will likely have ongoing disabilities as a result of the car crash that killed both her parents in France last month. “Current medical opinion is that, sadly, little Ayla will likely suffer ongoing disabilities the full extent of which cannot yet be known. Ayla will need intense ongoing care. “As might be expected, little Ayla continues to demonstrate her fighting qualities and strength – reminiscent of both her mother and father.”

Wandering pig rounded up An escapee pig on the trot along a suburban Auckland road yesterday was rounded up by her household friend - a chocolate labrador named Bailey. Police received calls from members of the public who spotted the wandering swine on Hobsonville Road about 9.30am. Shortly afterwards, a dog managed to round her up and put her back in her paddock – so quickly council officers did not see it happen. Hobsonville Road resident Steph Jury says the quirky porker belongs to her landlord and is quite a character. The pig – which Ms Jury has fondly nicknamed Ryeeena – manages to sneak out of her enclosure every couple of days in houdini-style escapes and sometimes got into the house if it was left open. Ms Jury says her 8-year-old labrador Bailey is friends with the cheeky pig and managed to get her home yesterday. “It wasn’t until my friend saw my dog out there running around trying to round her up that she realised the pig had got out.” The paddock Ryeeena was kept in was “really secure” but the pig still managed to get out.

Kiwi on Project Runway An Otago Polytechnic graduate will soon be showing his work to millions of viewers, after nailing a spot on American reality television show Project Runway. Duncan ChambersWatson, who graduated with a bachelor of design fashion with distinction last year, will be a contestant in series 14 of the show. Chambers-Watson is the second New Zealander to feature on the show, after Sean Kelly won series 13 last year. The show features Timm Gunn as mentor, and judges include model and television personality Heidi Klum. Polytechnic academic leader of fashion Dr Margo Barton said Chambers-Watson stood out at the polytechnic. “Oh yes. He knows who he is as a designer, and he’s got his own style, confidence, and he’s a very, very hard worker.” That was “the essential mix” for a fashion designer. Dr Barton said Chambers-Watson, at first, was not sure about chasing a spot on Project Runway. She said she told him the show was “like a very public portfolio airing”, and just being selected, and having the opportunity to show so many people what he could do, was a rare opportunity.

Encounter of dinosaur kind Getting 40 young children to sit still and keep quiet on a rainy day is no easy feat, but Flash the tuatara was up for the challenge. The children gathered at Kiwi North yesterday for the close encounter with Flash, plus the opportunity to spot the new pair of baby kiwi. Husbandry team leader Kevin Saxton held five-year-old Flash, while the children asked questions and observed it trying to make a run for it. “Really it was to give people a close encounter with the dinosaur kind, if you like,” Mr Saxton said. Two weeks ago, Kiwi North welcomed two new baby kiwi to the family — six-month-old female Puna and four-month-old male Kapua. Manager Allie Fry said the tuatara encounter was about people seeing an animal they may not have otherwise. Kiwi North was working to get another tuatara after the second was found dead in the enclosure in May.

■ FALLING DAIRY PRICES

Long haul back to profitability By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Dairy farmers with any cash in the bank are dipping into savings and others are paring costs as they hunker down for what is increasingly likely to be a long haul back to profitability. The latest fall in global dairy prices has seen the ANZ bank revise down its Fonterra farmgate milk price to between $3.75 and $4 and that is bad news for the Ashburton District, says mayor Angus McKay. “In talking with the banks they’re saying those with savings set aside are now starting to use those and we’re told that 10–12 per cent were already on the borderline. Some I’ve spoken

to have already come to arrangements with their banks they hope will carry them through,” he said. It was now very clear that the pain from free falling global dairy prices would set in motion a tough two years of pain for the whole district, not just dairy farmers, Mr McKay said. “It will now have an effect on local businesses; I just hope they can ride it out.” In talking with the business community most said they had noticed spending patterns changing over the past two months, but many said the change had accelerated over the past three weeks, he said. Lower prices on the interna-

tional market were always going to come because of a marriage of increasing production globally and stockpiling of product that had led to surpluses, Mr McKay said. It was inevitable on-farm production would be down in the coming season because many dairy farmers had killed lowperforming cows during the summer rather than feed them through to the new season, he said. In spite of increasing competition in the dairy market, he does not believe there should be a moratorium on the number of dairy farms in New Zealand. While the dairy downturn would impact significantly on the district’s economy, Mr Mc-

Kay does not believe it will plunge our economy into negative growth. “I don’t think this will be as bad as the late 1980s. I’m still very optimistic. I believe we’re in an ideal situation to ride through this one because we have other options and other opportunities, but if I was Minister of Finance I’d be a bit worried about the tax and GST that won’t be coming in, that’s what keeps things going.” For an astute business person with cash to invest, now would be an ideal time to get into dairy farming, he said. “Good business people come in at a low; it can only go one way.”

Mid Canterbury sharemilker Will Grayling is knuckling down for a tough season.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

Tight times ahead for new sharemilkers By michelle NelSoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Lower order sharemilkers are already doing it tough and Fonterra’s latest price slide will squeeze margins harder. Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers sharemilker section spokesperson Will Grayling said optimism fell each time the milk price fell. “At some point something has to give – there will be some sharemilkers hit the wall – but it depends what that will look like because no one knows what’s going to happen,” Mr

Grayling said. “We don’t know whether it will force them out of dairy farming, or whether it will knock them back five or 10 years.” Mr Grayling, who is a sharemilker, said farmers new to the industry would be subject to extra stress as they attempted to pare back the budget this season. “We are encouraging younger farmers to surround themselves with older guys who have been through this before – that’s what we’ve done,” he said. However disheartening the situation was it was a case of

battling on with the bulk of farmers on the cusp of the spring calving season. “The calves will come regardless of the payout, and that’s a positive thing really – we will have to get up and milk cows whatever happens,” Mr Grayling said. “We’re in this for the long haul, so we’ve just got to ride this out and hope it comes right. Talk to advisors, and fellow farmers – there’s plenty of good free advice out there.” Some people might look at raising more bobby calves for

the beef market, which recently hit record high prices, but it was important not to lose sight of their core business, he said. “You don’t want to get away from what drives your main income, which is milk production. If you can get 2 per cent increase in milk production that will help. “I think you might see a bit more wintering on the dairy platform, farmers might try to grow winter feed crops rather than send cows off the property, to try and cut costs.”

Cash flows already depleted By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Dairy farmers had prepared themselves for a tough 18 months, but the latest fall in global dairy prices would push this out to become a tough two years, says accountant Julie Inwood. “We believe we’re now looking at the prospect of two really bad seasons in a row and that will put real pressure on cash flow which is already being depleted,” she said. Her clients had budgeted for lean seasons after paying down debt when payouts were high. Most worked on a break-even point of $5.40 per kilo of milksolids but there were indications now that this could drop below $4 and that would add even more pressure, Ms Inwood said. “Our clients can weather the storm going forward but we’ll see a flow-on effect from the money that’s not coming into the district. It’s that flow-on effect that’s huge when spending is cut. There will be a lot less money going into the pot. This is set in stone, we’ll have two hard years.” It was vital to continue planning and to talk to your advisers, she said. “Pre-plan, prepare your budget and know where you’re going to be. Farmers will be looking at any way they can to save costs and they’ll be looking at things like cheaper feed so it will have an impact on grain farmers too.” One glimmer of hope was that the official cash rate review was coming up later this month and even a half per cent drop in interest rates could make a huge difference in terms of debt repayment for dairy farmers, Ms Inwood said. The key to getting through was for farmers to keep talking to their banker, accountant and advisor, that way there would be no surprises. “You have to look for the positives and not let the hard times get you down. You’re not on your own, don’t get too caught up in all the negative talk.”

■ FALLING DAIRY PRICES

Start of five-year ‘glut’ By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

New Zealand is in the early stages of a five-year dairy slump, according to Labour’s finance spokesman. Global dairy prices suffered their largest drop in 12 months on Wednesday night, falling by 10.7 per cent. While visiting Mid Canterbury yesterday Grant Robertson acknowledged the “massive impact” falling prices would have on the region. “We now have two years of payouts well below what people say is the break even point,” he said.

While farmers would be hurting, the low payout would also have a significant impact on communities like Mid Canterbury, he said. “That’s fewer people buying tractors, fewer people employing fencing contractors, fewer people coming into town to buy new clothes,” he said. “It flows throughout the whole community.” The New Zealand economy “desperately” needed to diversify and cut back its reliance on the dairy sector, he said. “There’s a responsibility of central government to get alongside local businesses and

local government and build a plan for a regional economy that isn’t so reliant on the ups and downs of one commodity price,” he said. He believed New Zealand was about 18 months into a five-year dairy “glut”. “I know the Prime Minister has said prices will rebound sometime soon - he said that in November,” he said. “Well eight months later they’re going very quickly in the other direction.” Prices would possibly rise again “at some point”, but Mr Robertson believed they would never get as high as the eight dollars seen in previous years.

Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy said it was important to remember that farming was a cyclical business, and always had been. The next six to 12 months would be volatile but it wasn’t all bad news, he said. “Other sectors like beef and horticulture are having record years which will help soften the impact in rural areas,” he said. “The medium to longer term outlook for dairy is strong and forecast to grow by a compound annual growth rate of nearly 7 per cent over the next few years.”

MPs impressed with Mid Canterbury By Daisy HuDson

Daisy.h@theguarDian.co.nz

The low dairy payout may have cast a cloud over their visit but Labour MPs were still impressed by what Mid Canterbury has to offer. Finance spokesman Grant Robertson, Trade spokesman David Parker, and Forestry spokesman Stuart Nash visited the district yesterday as part of a “listening tour” around the regions. ANZCO’s Five Star Beef feedlot, RX Plastics and Rainer Irrigation were all on the agen-

da as the MPs looked for feedback on regional and economic policy. Mr Nash was particularly impressed with RX Plastics and the drive staff had to expand and grow the business. Senior Labour MPs have been visiting electorates across the country in a bid to re-engage with provincial New Zealand after a poor showing in the last election. The party attracted just over 20 per cent of the regional vote in September, with Mr Nash the only Labour MP to win a

seat from National. The electorate visits will help the party develop policy around regional and economic growth. For Mr Robertson part of that was making a commitment to not allow New Zealand to become “Auckland and the rest”. That meant having a proper integrated regional development policy, targeting strategic investment, and ensuring there were good opportunities for people to undertake tertiary study in the region, he said. Regional immigration policy, which has been a hot topic

among Mid Canterbury business owners recently, was also an important factor “We’ve got to make it easy for people to come to places that are not Auckland,” Mr Robertson said. He did not buy in to the idea that some regions did not have the means to succeed. “There will be successes there for every town, it just might look a bit different from one town to the next,” he said. “But none of this will happen if we just stand back and say ‘we’ll see how it goes’.”

A dog callously thrown off a Tauranga bridge in the middle of the night is now up for adoption. Charity, a chocolate sharpei cross labrador, has transformed from the terrified and timid dog first found swimming in the Wairoa River a month ago after being dropped several metres from the highway above. A group of people found Charity, believed to be about a year old, in the water and alerted Tauranga SPCA, which has since been caring for her and assessing her suitability for future homes. - NZME

Fights in prison Inmates at an Auckland prison are holding organised fights, filming them on contraband mobile phones and uploading the footage to the internet. The footage has emerged on YouTube and clearly shows gang members engaging in one-on-one fights while being cheered by other prisoners, TVNZ has reported. Clothing worn by those in the videos is printed with “SERCO MECF”, suggesting the fights are taking place at Mt Eden Correctional Facility in central Auckland. Mobile phones are banned in prisons and TVNZ said it was unknown how the footage made its way online. University of Canterbury Criminologist, Professor Greg Newbold - who served seven years in prison - said the footage was “disgraceful”. “This is something I have never, ever seen in prison before,” he said. - NZME

■ DISTRICT REVALUED

How much is the district worth? By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The revaluation of the Ashburton District is under way. A team of seven valuers are walking and driving their way around the district assessing every property – urban, rural and commercial – and assigning it what they believe is its true market value (excluding chattels). National revaluation manager

Gail Smits said the revaluation had been under way since the start of July with property owners scheduled to receive their new valuations in mid September. While some may be unaware their property has been under scrutiny, many will have been contacted by valuers who wish to undertake on-property inspections, Ms Smits said. “If a property has been sold

for example, and the price is not what we’d have expected, then we’ll contact the owner, but there’s no hard and fast rules.” Before the revaluation work a large amount of research is carried out by the valuation team. Pre-valuation surveys were sent out to rural and commercial property owners seeking information about issues such as on-farm production numbers or lease changes and this helps

ensure each property’s rateable value was fairly reflected, she said. A range of factors are taken into account when a property is valued including its current valuation, sales in the area, building consent data and general street appearance. A picture of the local real estate market is also built before valuers hit the streets. Once a property owner re-

ceives their new valuation they will have until October 29 to lodge an objection if they are unhappy with the numbers. They will then have an opportunity to talk through issues and, if required, to have a valuer revisit their property. The district’s revaluation started on July 1 and this is the date at which new valuations are pegged, a snapshot in time.

Inspiration for Red Cross members By CaitliN Porter

caitlin.p@theguardian.co.nz

Local Red Cross members were left inspired after meeting a man who has been involved with some of the most pressing international humanitarian issues. Pat O’Brien, Lynette Lovett and Zella McGirr were part of a group who met with Elhadj As Sy, the secretary general of the International Federation of the Red Cross, when he visited the district earlier this month. Mr As Sy had recently visited

Nepal in the aftermath of the earthquake and has been closely involved in all major Red Cross responses, including the ebola outbreak and the refugee crisis. New Zealand Red Cross counsellor of honour and Tinwald branch member Pat O’Brien met Mr As Sy in Christchurch as he witnessed firsthand the areas affected by the devastating 2011 earthquake. He was welcomed by the Spreydon School kapahaka group and introduced by New Zealand Red

Cross secretary general Tony Paine. Mr As Sy talked to Mrs O’Brien and the other guests about the 189 national societies and 100 million volunteers, members and staff who were part of Red Cross, before thanking everyone who gave their time to the organisation. “It was such a privilege to meet such an inspiring humanitarian,” Mrs O’Brien said of the experience.

Dunedin deluge costs insurers $30m Insurers will dish out almost $30 million after Dunedin’s massive deluge last month. Almost 2000 domestic claims and 200 commercial and business interruption claims were received by insurers after the June 3 flood, which delivered 175mm

of rain to the city in 24 hours, the Insurance Council of New Zealand said yesterday. Flood water swamped Dunedin, with South Dunedin and St Kilda particularly hard hit. Final claims figures will not be known until early October, In-

surance Council Chief Executive Tim Grafton says. “Provisional figures show that nearly 2000 domestic claims cost insurers almost $20 million, with almost 200 commercial and business interruption claims costing over $8 million,” he said. - NZME

A body has been found in a West Coast bach following a fire overnight. The smouldering ruin of the corrugated iron workshop and bach, halfway between Karangarua and Jacobs River, near Franz Joseph, was discovered about 3am by a visiting relative. Grave fears were held yesterday for a south Westland identity aged in his late 70s who owns the property, which was razed to the ground in the blaze. The shed was “completely destroyed” by the time the fire was discovered, police said. “A vehicle was located outside the shed, raising concerns that there may be someone inside the building,” police said. “A scene examination is under way. The investigators are working to establish the cause of the fire and to identify the deceased person.”

A post-mortem examination would be carried out to establish the cause of death, police said. Police and the fire brigade both said yesterday they had not reached any conclusions. A thorough search was under way and a forensic examination launched. The Fox Glacier Volunteer Fire Brigade was called about 3.35am to the property, which sits on Maori reserve land about 730m west of State highway 6 on the Mai Mai straight, south of the Karangarua River. Fire chief John Sullivan said a male relative of the occupant had arrived back from an overnight hunting venture about 3am to find the shed a smouldering heap of iron. When the brigade arrived, the man’s vehicles were parked up but there was no sign of their owner anywhere on the property. - NZME

■ TINWALD SALE

■ TODDLER’S DEATH

Four days to tell family By Kurt Bayer A 24-hour suppression order protecting the identity of a man accused of murdering a Christchurch toddler name has been extended for four days. A 22-year-old man appeared at Christchurch District Court yesterday charged with assaulting and killing 15-month-old boy Ihaka Paora Braxton Stokes on July 3. Judge David Saunders granted name suppression so the man - who police say was known to Ihaka who suffered multiple blunt force injuries including broken bones in the alleged assault at a house in Truman Road, Bryndwr - can tell his parents of his predicament. But the suppression order was yesterday extended until 10am on Tuesday. It will lapse

then unless an application to the High Court is made to extend it. Defence counsel Phil Shamy also made a bail application yesterday. Bail, which was opposed by police, was refused by Judge Stephen O’Driscoll. Statutory suppressions restrict the reporting of bail hearings. The man has been remanded in custody without plea to appear at the High Court in Christchurch on July 31. - NZME

Top stock fetch top prices at sale Bids were flying yesterday at the Tinwald Saleyards when a yarding of around 3000 in-lamb ewes were in hot demand as they went under the auctioneer’s hammer. Top stock fetched top prices with good scanned ewes fetching between $140 and $150 a head. Competition was fierce from the large gallery with auctioneer Greg Cook rating the sale as “very good”. “We saw some top prices, everything sold and there were way more buyers than sheep available,” he said.

■ ASHBURTON HOSPITAL

Hand washing on target

Unleashing arty talent

By Caitlin Porter

Caitlin.p@theguardian.Co.nz

Staff at Ashburton Hospital can give themselves another sanitised and well-deserved pat on the back. Survey results released in this week’s Canterbury District Health Board agenda shows the hospital has once again exceeded the national target for compliant hand washing. Ashburton Hospital achieved a compliance rate of 85 per cent, up from 84 per cent last quarter and 78.7 per cent the previous quarter. The national target for hand washing is set at 80 per cent. During the last audit period, CDHB Ashburton and rural health services director of nursing Jan McClelland said Ward 3 and Tuarangi were audited, this time it was Ward 6. As a whole the district health board did well in increasing on its last audit, going from 72.7 per cent to 76.8 per cent – however, it was still under the national target. Thirteen wards were audited within the CDHB with only four achieving over the 80 per cent threshold. CDHB chief executive David Meates said hand washing compliance was best after touching a patient, but the lowest scoring moment for the CDHB was after touching a patient’s surroundings.

Sacked agent in the dark

Dermatology demand well managed locally

BY DAVID FISHER The real estate agent sacked from Barfoot & Thompson says he’s never spoken to anyone from the Labour Party and doesn’t know how they got information. Grant Hargrave confirmed yesterday he was the agent who had been fired over information used by the Labour Party to drive a debate about people from China buying property in Auckland. Mr Hargrave said he did not want to be interviewed on this issue. “I very much would rather not talk about it, I’m sorry.” But he did say that he had no idea how Labour had obtained the information he was sacked for passing on. “I don’t know them. I don’t know the Labour people. I honestly just don’t know (how the party got it).” Mr Hargrave’s business profile as a commercial real estate agent was absent from the Barfoot & Thompson website yesterday. It had previously praised him for having a “wealth of experience in selling commercial and industrial property” over 25 years, mainly in

Grant Hargrave

Auckland. “Grant has been instrumental in the selling of some of Auckland’s largest commercial and industrial buildings. “He uses “best practice” and transparent real estate procedures and also appreciates the need for a duty

of care to achieve maximum price through the auction and tender methods of sale.” The information used by Labour to crunch numbers on foreign owners first reported in the Weekend Herald - was said to have originated with a real estate company. However, it has since emerged that it passed through intermediaries before getting to Labour. The Herald is awaiting comment from Labour’s housing spokesman Phil Twyford. Labour leader Andrew Little said he had no contact or involvement with the source of the information. The party’s housing spokesman Phil Twyford has relied on source protection as a basis on which to refuse to speak about the origins of the information. University of Canterbury journalism lecturer Tara Ross said politicians did not have the same liberties in relation to confidentiality as journalists. She said journalists answered to their audiences while politicians were vying for government. - NZME

Despite calls for more skin specialists in New Zealand, a Mid Canterbury doctor does not believe the district needs its own full-time dermatologist. The Dermatology Workforce Service forecast report released earlier this month has shown the need for dermatology services in New Zealand is growing and is set to double in just five years. However, Methven GP Dr Gayle O’Duffy said Canterbury is managing well. Currently, New Zealand has only 16.4 full-time equivalent dermatologists or one for every 270,000 people. But demand is on the rise. The study outlined one in six, or 15 per cent, of all visits to GPs involved a skin problem. However, Dr O’Duffy said on average she refers about one patient a month to dermatology. “If that is representative of other local GPs, I don’t think there would be a need for a full-time equivalent public dermatologist in Mid Canterbury,” Dr O’Duffy said. She said between the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) funding GPs to do some work, and up-skilling of GPs at Burwood Plastic Surgery outpatients as well as the day surgery at Burwood, she feels her patients get a good service. Christchurch based dermatologist Shan Edwards also visits the district fortnightly to see patients.

Stereotyping won’t make houses any cheaper

Stu Oldham

EDITOR

he leaked list that includes a slew of “Asian” names buying Auckland property has further muddied the waters in the debate about foreign investment in a hot market. Perhaps “muddied the waters” is too soft a way to look at the Labour Party’s inglorious own-goal in turning the list into tabloid headlines. It was more than a gaff and more than a miscalculation. It was a clumsy attempt to turn real people into political pawns, and it backfired. It backfired because the names on the list looked Asian, they sounded Asian and a complicated mathematical equation suggested they probably were. But they were not definitely or demonstrably people who have come from overseas to buy Auckland property. They just looked like they might have been. Labour has been at pains to point out the list is strongly suggestive that 40 per cent of the properties identified on the list were sold to people of Chinese descent. But it has done so with reckless disregard as to how the list would be viewed by the electorate. It reads like dog-whistle politics at its most cynical. It is true that the government does not keep detailed records of who buys New Zealand property, or where they are from. And this gets in the way of policy to avoid a property market collapse. There is little doubt foreign buyers – Chinese included – are part of the nexus that is pushing up property prices, but the government needs to know more to know what to do about it. It must find ways to actively monitor who is buying, and why, because clumsy stereotyping will make the blood boil rather than take the heat out of property. New Zealand is in a bind. Its people want affordable homes and its economy needs foreign investment. The country needs the tools to know what to do next.

As a member of the Consumer Council for Kidney Health NZ I feel this cartoon is undermining everything we are trying to do to help more people receive kidney transplants to enable them to have a better life. Kathryn Lilley Yesterday’s cartoon satirised the level of government financial support for organ donors. It responds to a bill before

tip of the iceberg. Instead of worrying about getting people to pay for plastic bags, which is a real inconvenience when you have a lot of shopping, they should be getting manufacturers to cut out all the unnecessary packaging. That might even make some products cheaper, which will mean more money to spend on plastic bag fees. By the way, I use my plastic bags for rubbish bags at home. I compost my food scraps but it does not take long to fill the bags with product packaging! B. N. Smith

OFF THE AIR

don’t wish to alarm anyone, especially my family, but I have the Man Flu. Male readers will have just exclaimed “Oh you poor bugga”, the opposite sex will roll their eyes and scoff a little before blah-blahing about there being no such thing and me consuming a concrete pill to harden up. I just hope I can muster enough strength to continue to hen peck at the keyboard and complete this week’s column. My ears are blocked and my head is thumping, which is not ideal when a good part of my day involves wearing headphones. I am trying to remain as still as possible as I can feel the nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the studio crashing into my face and the last thing I need to do is accentuate that by moving my head around. When Carol talks to me in the office, I not only hear her words, I feel them smashing into me. Please God don’t let her yell at me. I am scared to cough! Not just because of the pain (similar to childbirth I’m guessing, but just a bit worse) but because of what will come up. The lurgies I have extracted from my lungs so far this morning could be thrown on my mother’s pottery wheel and turned into a nice pudding bowl. My nose feels like it has been playing silly party games involving marshmallows and one of those vibrating machines that a bloke (without Man Flu) would use to level off a driveway before hot mixing it. The bridge of my nose feels that congested that the only possible way to relieve some of the pressure would be to shed some tears, but this is obviously out of the question as I’m a man and haven’t done that since late October in 1968. My tongue is swollen and is something akin to the sea lion that got lost and made its way

up the Avon River some years ago. My teeth hurt! Drinking coffee reminds me of Mrs Marsh and liquid really getting into the chalk television ads from the ’80s. Before you go calling the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, I have some secret weapons up my sleeve. My gorgeous and very sympathetic partner Amanda and I bought a Nutribullet at the weekend. Although I couldn’t find a recipe to battle Man Flu, I have come up with a concoction including kale, spinach, broccoli, goji, turmeric and anything else that tastes bloody awful, that should give this thing a belt. A combination of this and plenty of the aforementioned sympathy from the aforementioned gorgeous partner and a nurse’s outfit thrown into the mix for good measure and we should be on top of this thing by Christmas I reckon. Wish me luck! Till next week (hopefully) Hoo Roo Phill “just hanging in there” Hooper

Man Flu - the facts 1. Man Flu is more painful than childbirth. This is an irrefutable scientific fact*. *(Based on a survey of over 100,000 men.) 2. Man Flu is not ‘just a cold’. It is a condition so severe that the germs from a single Man Flu sneeze could wipe out entire tribes of people living in the rainforest. And probably loads of monkeys too. 3. Women do not contract Man Flu. At worst they suffer from what is medically recognised as a Mild Girly Sniffle – which, if a man caught, he would still be able to run, throw a ball, tear the phone book in half and compete in all other kinds of manly activities. 4. Men do not ‘moan’ when they have Man Flu. They emit involuntary groans of agony that are entirely in proportion to the unbearable pain they are in. 5. Full recovery from Man Flu will take place much quicker if their simple requests for care, sympathy and regular cups of tea are met. Is that really so much to ask? Florence Nightingale would have done it. 6. More men die each year from MFN (Man Flu Neglect) than lots and lots of other things. (Like rabbit attacks or choking on toast).

7. Men suffering from Man Flu want nothing more than to get out of bed and come to work, but they are too selfless to risk spreading this awful condition amongst their friends and colleagues. In this sense, they are the greatest heroes this country has ever known. 8. In 1982 scientists managed to simulate the agonising symptoms of full blown Man Flu in a female chimp. She became so ill that her head literally fell off. 9. Man Flu germs are more powerful than He-Man, The Thundercats and The ATeam combined. They are too strong for weak, nasty tasting ‘lady medicines’ like Lemsip, so don’t bother trying to force them on a victim of Man Flu. 10. While it may seem like a Man Flu sufferer is just lying around enjoying Diagnosis Murder it is a commonly recognised medical fact that the exact pitch and frequency of Dick Van Dyke’s voice has remarkable soothing powers. Every minute in this country one man is struck down by Man Flu. Women, all we ask is that each of you offers them a cup of tea, some kind words and your undivided attention and care. Then maybe, just maybe, we’ll beat this monstrous disease together ...

Obama faces resistance in US Congress The deal to curb Iran’s nuclear weapons programme came at the end of two years of an intricate ballet, involving United States President Barack Obama and leaders of six other countries. As the debate moved from the negotiating tables of Vienna to the halls of the US capital, Obama faced a new and complicated task: protect the agreement from opponents who would undermine it in Washington over the next two months. For the agreement to survive, he must prevent two-thirds of either house of Congress from voting against the deal. “I will veto any legislation that prevents the successful implementation of this deal,” Obama said. “Tough talk from Washington does not solve problems.” It would take two-thirds of both the House and Senate to over-ride such a veto. Most congressional Republicans remained deeply sceptical, some openly scornful, of the prospect of relieving economic sanctions while leaving any Iranian uranium-enrichment capability intact. Even Democrats offered only cautious endorsements of the deal that represents a cornerstone of Obama’s foreign policy as Congress begins a two-months review of the agreement. House Speaker John Boehner accused Obama of abandoning his own objectives for the negotiations and called the agreement “unacceptable”. “It’s going to hand a dangerous regime billions of dollars in sanctions relief while paving the way for a nuclear Iran. “If it’s as bad a deal as I think it is at this point, we’ll do everything we can to stop it.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the deal “appears to fall well short of the goal we all thought was trying to be achieved, which was that Iran would not be a nuclear state”. Democratic leaders, meanwhile, mainly offered pledges to closely review the deal, rather than outright endorsements of it. The deal caused fury in Israel and consternation around the region at the likely increase in influence and resources of a newly enriched Iran. Most telling was the loudest expression of support. “I am happy that the Islamic Republic of Iran has achieved a great victory by reaching an agreement,” President Bashar al-Assad of Syria said. - AP

Elephants in danger Rampant illegal trading in ivory in Hong Kong is pushing elephants towards extinction, conservationists say, reporting more ivory items on sale there than in any other city. The sale of ivory items from government-registered stockpiles predating the 1990 ban is allowed for domestic use in Hong Kong, but the report finds tusks from recently slaughtered elephants are being passed off as old ivory on a huge scale. - AFP

Volcano still active Ash spewing from an erupting volcano has closed the airport serving Indonesia’s second-biggest city, as millions of people were travelling across the archipelago ahead of the Muslim holiday of Eid. The shutdown yesterday of the international airport serving Surabaya, on the main island of Java, came days after the airport on the nearby holiday island of Bali was closed by ash from the same volcano, stranding thousands. - AFP

Prison ‘difficult’ The seven months drug-dealing Sydney socialite Lisa Stockbridge spent in custody were difficult. “There’s no fresh produce,” the lifestyle blogger said, sobbing through parts of her sentence hearing at the Downing District Court. “It’s all processed food apart from fruit.” The lack of non-processed food caused her medical problems, she said, but it’s not just the menu that worried her. She told the court she was forced to fight during her seven months in custody, against “longtermers” who thought she was an undercover police officer. - AAP

Terrorist plot foiled France has foiled a “terrorist” plot to capture and decapitate a member of its armed forces, officials say, underscoring the threat the country faces six months after the Islamist attacks in Paris. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve says security forces had staged dawn raids to take into custody four people, aged between 16 and 23, who were “planning to commit a terrorist act against French military installations.” - AFP

Ayatollah ‘dubious’ Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned President Hassan Rouhani that “some” world powers are not to be trusted in implementing a nuclear deal, urging vigilance for any breaches. In a letter to Rouhani, Khamenei, who had the final word on the historic deal struck with six powers led by the United States, congratulated Iran’s negotiators for “their tireless efforts”. Bringing the talks to a close was a “milestone”, Khamenei said, but the agreement requires “careful scrutiny”. - AFP

■ DAIRY PRICE FALL

In brief

Westland farmers suffering

Somewhere in the next three to five years, WMP would have to consolidate, Mr Reedy said. “They’re going to have to go through every line in the balance sheet and query every job, unfortunately.”

The low payout meant farmers generally had less money to spend. Westport was definitely suffering because of it, he said. “We desperately need it floating around at the moment.” Some farmers were struggling to afford even the basics. The payout needed to be at least $5 per kgMS for his farm to break even. “We can survive in the low, low fives.” According to DairyNZ, the industry average breakeven milk price was $5.70 per kgMS. Mr Reedy said the weather wasn’t helping matters. “It’s been the worst May/ June I can remember.” There were signs that the weather patterns were becoming El Nino. Continuous rain was no good for his farm, he said, making growing grass notoriously difficult. - NZME

ON THE MARKETS

Another major news story has been the volatility in the Chinese sharemarket. Authorities have pulled out all the stops in recent weeks to stem the losses highly leveraged investors are facing as markets decline from record highs and margin calls occur. The Shanghai Composite has rebounded over the past week, having been down 32 per cent in three-and-a-half weeks as of last Wednesday. However, we shouldn’t forget that the Chinese market rose more than 150 per cent in the 12-months leading up to its June peak, so many investors will still be sitting on very large gains. The likelihood of this all spilling over into the real economy in a significant way appears limited. Until a month or so ago, the Chinese sharemarket was rising very quickly, while the real economy has been losing momentum for 18 months, so sharemarket activity has been completely detached from economic activity for some time already. However, given the amount of leverage that many Chinese

domestic investors have taken on and the potential for this to unwind further, more volatility is likely. We have seen further significant weakness in dairy prices, with the latest global dairy trade (GDT) auction reflecting a fall of 10.7 per cent from a fortnight ago. Prices are now down 61.1 per cent since the beginning of last year, taking the GDT index back to levels not seen since 2002. Fonterra’s opening payout forecast for the current season of $5.25 is now looking decidedly optimistic. In the wake of yesterday’s auction results, ANZ have reduced their payout forecast to between $3.75 and $4.00 (from $4.50 previously), while Westpac has slashed its forecast to $4.30 (from $5.40). We expect an update from Fonterra over the coming weeks with a downward revision likely. The two key investment takeaways from these developments are that the Official Cash Rate (OCR) will continue to go lower and the NZ dollar will also continue to decline. Beneficiaries of this theme will be good quality companies that pay sustainable, growing dividends, as well as companies that have a global sales presence.

Greece still on a slippery slope reece has been the major economic story over the past month. The highly indebted nation missed a €1.6 billion payment to the International Monetary Fund in June, and without any agreement for a bailout deal with creditors Greece was cut off from funding. This forced banks to close doors, limit withdrawals and take other measures to stop the country running out of money. The Greek stock exchange was also closed. Prime Minister Alexis Tspiras held a referendum which the Greek people voted “no” to, so the Greek government returned to the negotiating table with creditors as capital controls and withdrawal limits remained in place. However, when a renewed deal was finally reached it ended up being harsher than pre-referendum plans originally proposed. After long discussions, the Greek parliament passed the new bailout conditions, but not without cost. Factions have emerged within the governing Syriza party with many party members disapproving of the harsh austerity, strict reforms and intrusive monitoring that will accompany the terms. Violent protests also erupted during the day in a clear signal that political instability could prevail for some time yet and we might not have heard the last of the Greek saga.

The High Court has frozen assets linked to an ex-pat Kiwi and former banking executive charged in a $2 million bribery case across the Tasman. New Zealander Jon Waldron is one of two former Commonwealth Bank of Australia technology executives who allegedly received over $2 million for awarding contracts to a US firm. Waldron, in his mid-40s, was charged in New South Wales in March with seven counts of “agent acting corruptly to receive benefit”, involving almost A$1.9 million. - NZME

It will be another three years before the dairy industry climbs out of the hole it’s in, and it still hasn’t hit rock bottom, says Westport dairy farmer Johnny Reedy. Yesterday Fonterra, New Zealand’s largest dairy company, announced it was cutting 523 jobs across the entire company in an effort to save $60 million a year. The announcement came just hours after prices at the fortnightly GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) auction suffered their biggest fall of 2015, with the price index dropping 10.7 per cent. The index has now fallen nine consecutive times and is at its lowest level since the auction was established in 2008. Westland Milk Products (WMP) does not supply the

GDT auction as Fonterra does, however it is affected by similar market forces. In May WMP announced an ‘optimistic’ opening forecast for the 2015/16 season of $5.60$6.00 per kilogram of milksolids (kgMS), while Fonterra announced an opening forecast payout of $5.25 per kgMS. Mr Reedy said being unrealistically optimistic wasn’t overly helpful to farmers. “We pay them huge salaries, especially in the finance department. They should be able to get a wee bit closer than they are.” He was also concerned about the gap between WMP’s opening forecast payout and what it actually paid. The opening forecast was “never anywhere near” the actual payout, he said. “Rod Quin (WMP’s chief executive) is a glasshalf-full type of guy.”

PHOTO GALLERY

Celebration at Barrhill School While we have no information on what this celebration was for, we do know it took place at the Barrhill School and was held on September 20, 1902. Little else is known about this photograph supplied by Jo Wilson. But Jo did point out two intersting things: The school master (far right, back) is holding the bell and the man third from right, back row, is wearing a black armband. If you can fill in any of the blanks we, or Jo, would love to hear from you.

Crunch matches on the turf By Erin TaskEr Two top-of-the-table clashes feature in this weekend’s round of the Mid/South Canterbury senior hockey competitions. For the men, the competition leading Tainui take on second placed Wakanui Black - who are currently just two points behind them - in what’s likely to be a tight tussle on the turf in Timaru tomorrow afternoon. Wakanui Black heads into the match having bounced back from three straight losses to beat their club-mates Wakanui Blue last weekend 5-1, while after starting the competition with six wins, Tainui is

caught in a slump and hurting after losses to Cambridge, Timaru Boys’ High School and Wakanui Blue. The two sides have met twice already this season, sharing the spoils. Last time they met it was the Wakanui side which prevailed convincingly, 6-0, but Tainui will be keen to get its form back on track. Wakanui’s other side, Wakanui Blue, is currently in fourth place on the leaderboard and will be hoping to pick up some competition points against cellar-dwellers Timaru Boys’ High School in Ashburton.

Meanwhile, top-of-the-table Hampstead remains unbeaten at the top of the women’s leaderboard, 14 points clear of second placed Cambridge – the team they’ll take on in Timaru tomorrow. It will be the third time the teams have squared off so far this season, with their first encounter finishing in a draw, and the second a win to Hampstead. Mid Canterbury’s other side in the competition, Hampstead/ Collegians, will go searching for their fourth win of the competition when they travel to Timaru to take on the winless, bottom-of-the-table Geraldine tomorrow.

Hard road for U15s It was a tough day for Canterbury Country during day two of the National U15 basketball championships. The home side faced Rotorua in the early game but suffered a four-point loss, the final score 66-70. An afternoon game against Canterbury Metro resulted in another close defeat, this time 7362. Cross over play is set to begin today before semi-finals and finals take place tomorrow.

Magpies repel enthusiastic challenge Hawke’s Bay rugby captain Brendon O’Connor is calling for more accuracy at the breakdown and patience in the wake of some anxious moments in last night’s second Ranfurly Shield defence of the season. “They put us under pressure early on. “We weren’t accurate enough and didn’t show enough patience. “It was a bit of a relief to bring up 50 towards the end,” O’Connor said after the Magpies’ 50-16 win against Horowhenua-Kapiti in front of 4200 fans at Napier’s McLean Park. “We were up by seven with 15 to go but we showed what we can do if we hold on to the ball and build some pressure towards the end,” O’Connor added. While Magpies fullback Zac Guildford deserved the playerof-the-match award it could easily have gone to promising No 8 Joseph Penitito, who scored two tries with some blockbusting attack and was a busy defender. Early fumbles let the Magpies down and they trailed 3-0 after the visitors opened the scoring in the sixth minute through a 40 metre penalty from centre Perry Hayman. The Magpies replied with a try seven minutes later from the powerful Penitito off the back of a five metre scrum. It only took the first quarter for the Magpies to realise the Nua were a far stronger outfit than previous challengers Wairarapa Bush. However a quick switch play which involved good work from lock Sanaila Waqa and winger Mason Emerson saw vice captain and blindside flanker Tony

Mid Canterbury had a tough run during the fourth and final day of the National Under 17 netball competition yesterday. They faced off against Marlborough first up but unfortunately a loss was always on the cards, the final score 37-27. The late game then saw Mid Canterbury go down to Wanganui 50-29, which resulted in them finishing 24th out of 40 teams.

Trophy on display Rugby league’s Four Nations Trophy will pay Ashburton a brief visit tomorrow. The trophy is on a whistlestop tour of the South Island and will be at Robbies Bar and Bistro in Ashburton today from 12.30-2pm, with Mid Cantabrians welcome to head along and take a look. The idea of the tour is to bring the trophy closer to fans, wherever they may be, according to the mastermind of the tour, NZ Rugby League communications’ Hayden Burford.

Trio await IPL cheque The three New Zealand cricketers caught up in the Indian Premier League corruption scandal have all been left out of pocket - at least for now. Brendon McCullum, seamer Matt Henry (Chennai Super Kings) and fast-medium bowler Tim Southee (Rajasthan Royals) have been affected by the impending two-year bans of their IPL franchises. Players are paid in four instalments over the year. All three are still awaiting the final payment. However, slow payment is nothing new in the often frustratingly slow-moving world of Indian cricket. - NZME

Lamborn score in the 21st minute. First five-eighth Tyrone Elkington-MacDonald added the conversion and the Magpies led 12-3. From this point Hawke’s Bay dominated, however superb defensive work from the visitors kept the Magpies out. Enterprising play from the visitors saw them return to the Magpies 22 in the 32nd minute and Hayman closed the gap with a 20 metre penalty when several Bay defenders were ruled to be offside by Taranaki referee Paul Williams. Poor discipline from the Magpies resulted in another penalty which Hayman slotted from 35 metres two minutes from the halftime whistle. The

hosts had the final say before halftime when Penitito scored his second try and the shield holders led 17-9. Head coach Craig Philpott must have been having some anxious moments watching televised coverage of the game in Auckland where he is one of the assistant coaches preparing the New Zealand Barbarians team for tomorrow night’s match against the Maori All Blacks at Eden Park. Several minutes of pressure from the hosts resulted in the Nua conceding a penalty which Elkington-MacDonald slotted from handy to the posts in the 49th minute. This was the cushion the Magpies were desperate for.

Horowhenua-Kapiti were rewarded for their entertaining and positive approach when No 8 Sam Gardner won the chase to a kick ahead to score in the 61st minute. Four minutes later inspirational Nua captain Antony Fox was sinbinned and ElkingtonMacDonald kicked a handy penalty. Any faint hopes the Nua had of an upset were extinguished when Elkington-MacDonald slotted his fourth second half penalty, and the Magpies finished in style when winger Shannan Chase dashed away for a 75th minute try. Prop Mark Braidwood had the final say with his try well into injury time. - NZME

Otago coach Nathan King says there is “no ill blood” between the Volts and Jesse Ryder following the troubled star’s defection to Central Districts. Ryder’s future in Otago had been unclear for months but was sealed yesterday when Central announced the former Black Cap was rejoining the association where he made his debut. Ryder made a fairly seismic impression in his two summers in the South. He was particularly brutal in white, hammering 1228 runs in the Plunket Shield. But he also cut a frustrated figure towards the end of last season. Chief executive Ross Dykes summed it up when he said Ryder was “not a happy chappy”. - NZME

Big money for Bryant The Dallas Cowboys have settled the contract saga with star receiver Dez Bryant after agreeing a longterm deal worth a reported $US70 million over five years. The Cowboys and Bryant inked the deal yesterday shortly before the expiration of a deadline for franchisetagged players to negotiate a multi-year contract. - AFP

College to bounce back BY ERIN TASKER Ashburton College’s first XV rugby side is back home tomorrow hosting Marlborough Boys’ College, after three rounds on the road. In the last round of the UC Championship the Ashburton boys were on the wrong side of a big scoreline against St Andrew’s College, but after a week off due to the school holidays and a Crusaders region camp, the side is looking fit and ready to get that winning feeling back, according to coach Dave McCrea. Three of the side’s players – Alifeleti Prescott, Cameron McLeod and Malakai Cakaunitabua – attended that Crusaders region camp and will bring a lot of what they learnt to tomorrow’s game, while for many of the side’s remaining players the week off has allowed injuries to heal. “I’d prefer not to have had

the week off really, but we were struggling with injuries after the last game and while that’s no excuse for the big loss we had, I’m pretty sure most of the boys will be back on board this week,” McCrea said. St Andrew’s steamrolled the Ashburton boys in the last 20 minutes of the last game – eventually winning 66-5 – and it was a disappointing result a week after narrowly beating Waimea College in Nelson. Marlborough Boys’ will make the long trip south to face Ashburton College tomorrow and although it was the Ashburton side that triumphed in a pre-season match between the two sides, that didn’t mean anything, McCrea said. Heading into the match, McCrea’s side is sitting in 10th place on the competition ladder with 17 points and three wins, while Marlborough is sixth on 29 points. Finding consistency has been

the key for Ashburton College and while they’ve made progress on that front, they’re still looking to improve at the breakdown and running straighter lines. With just four games left in the round robin, McCrea is hopeful his side can pick up a couple of wins and break in to the top eight and make the play-offs. Three of those final games are at home, with Marlborough to be followed by St Bede’s, Roncalli and then St Thomas’. St Thomas’ and St Bede’s are currently ahead of Ashburton on the points table, while Roncalli is sitting in last place. McCrea said no team was an easy-beat in the competition though, so his side was not taking anything for granted. Ashburton College will play Marlborough Boys’ College at the Ashburton Showgrounds tomorrow, kicking off at midday.

Another kilted Kiwi Highlanders loose forward John Hardie has been called into the Scotland squad ahead of the Rugby World Cup. Hardie played for New Zealand at the Under-19 World Championships in 2007 but qualifies for Scotland through his grandmother. “Representing Scotland has been on my radar for a long time,” the 27-year-old said. “I’m delighted to get this chance to compete for a place in the squad.” Hardie had a strong season for the Highlanders but missed the Super Rugby final due to a rib injury. - NZME

We should celebrate’

First XV skipper Benji Barry.

Richie McCaw reckons Kiwis need to celebrate the good times more than they do. The legendary All Black is not known as a wildly emotional character but contrary to some perceptions perhaps, he does not simply move on to the next game each week. McCaw, preparing for his last test in hometown Christchurch tonight, told said that he did take time each week to celebrate previous performances. And while it will come as no surprise that life on the field is not always a picnic, he said the only really enjoyable time was immediately after games. “I love what I do,” said the man many rate as the greatest All Black. “But sometimes when it is hard out on the field, you feel knackered, I don’t know if you call that fun. The satisfaction is sitting with a bunch of mates afterwards with a smile on the face.” - NZME

Wallabies ‘unpredictable’

Naholo’s chance to stake World Cup claims Despite Steve Hansen urging his players not to be anxious about World Cup selection, it’s unlikely any of the outside backs in action this weekend will be able to heed his advice. The back three has become a puzzle, which at this stage, doesn’t look obvious as to how it will be solved. There are two secure elements in Ben Smith and Julian Savea, but the remaining two World Cup places remain entirely open. Tonight, Charles Piutau, Israel Dagg and Waisake Naholo will do what they can to stake their claim and then the following evening in Auckland, Cory Jane will turn out for the Barbarians. Naholo is perhaps the player with the luxury of being least burdened by expectation. The Highlander was Super Rugby’s form wing - seemingly coming out of nowhere. Rejected by the Blues in 2013, he played Sevens for New Zealand in the first half of 2014 before turning out for Taranaki in the ITM Cup. It was while playing for Taranaki that All Black assistant coach Ian Foster concluded there was something about Naholo that

was worthy of further exploration so he persuaded Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph to pick up the young Fijian. It proved the perfect marriage and Naholo runs out tonight wearing the All Black No 14 jersey and with a brief to do what he has done all season and get the ball in his hands, back his instincts and play what he sees. But while no one within All Black management is taking that bit for granted, what they really need to see from Naholo is the ability to deal with the high ball; astute positioning on defence, strong oneo n -

one tackling, high workrate and a willingness to work in partnership with Piutau and Dagg. If Naholo can tick those defensive boxes, he’s going to take a giant step towards World Cup inclusion. The attacking threat he poses is such that he’s going to seriously tempt the selectors to include him at the World Cup. His lack of experience will be overlooked - he’s just that sort of player whose lack of inhibition is a strength rather than weakness. “He’s played for New Zealand at Sevens before and he’s a quality player,” said All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen. “He’s just taken a little while to transform that quality from Sevens into fifteens but he’s found a home in the Highlanders where he’s really taken off and had an outstanding season. He was a pretty easy pick in the end.” Waisake Naholo

With Smith’s versatility - he is a natural fullback and brilliant wing - it might be that Piutau, Dagg and Jane are all chasing one spot if Naholo can deliver tonight. Clearly the selectors are keen to do all they can to restore Dagg to form. They believe the only thing him holding back is lack of football and are likely to keep him in the mix for the next three tests regardless of how he plays tonight. But he’ll still need to show signs that he’s on the right track - that his running game is coming back and that he hasn’t lost any of his accuracy or awareness on defence. Piutau, who played well on limited rations in Apia, needs a reasonably big game to stay in the picture. His decision to head to Ireland next year won’t necessarily count against him, but it does mean he’ll have to make a definitive case for inclusion. And as for Jane, he’s the perfect World Cup player when he’s in form. Brilliant in the air; clever on the ground and still one of the few men in the world who can finish tries with just a postage stamp amount of space. But he has to prove at Eden Park that he can still do all that. - NZME

The new-look Wallabies side named for Saturday’s Test against South Africa is to reflect the team’s new aggressive and unpredictable identity, backs coach Stephen Larkham says. Quade Cooper and Will Genia have replaced Waratahs pair Bernard Foley and Nick Phipps in the halves, with Matt Giteau at inside centre named to complete a tantalising playmaking trio that will be unleashed in the Rugby Championship opener at Suncorp. - AAP

Burger back for Boks South Africa have selected veteran flanker Schalk Burger out of position at No.8 for their Rugby Championship opener against the Wallabies on Saturday. Burger replaces Warren Whiteley in the only change to the Springboks’ starting side which thrashed a World XV 46-10. Coach Heyneke Meyer felt in the absence of Duane Vermeulen who has a neck injury, veteran Burger was best suited to the back of the scrum in a highly mobile back row. - AAP

Stars achieve goals A young Dan Carter planned to strike it rich while Richie McCaw grew up with a dream to pull on the All Blacks jersey. Both men certainly surpassed those targets and now they will farewell the Canterbury region in which they found so much success. Carter and McCaw will play their final matches in Christchurch when the All Blacks meet Argentina at AMI Stadium tonight, bidding goodbye to the province where it all began. “The local newspaper did a profile on him when he was 12,” said Neville Carter, Dan’s dad. “One of the questions was, ‘what do you expect to make out of rugby?’ And he said $1 million.” - NZME

Ambrose uncertain Marcos Ambrose will hold off from making a decision about his future in V8 Supercars until after October’s event on the Gold Coast. The two-time champion returned to Australia this year after a decade racing in the United States, but quit as DJR Team Penske’s lead driver following just one championship round. Ambrose admitted he struggled behind the wheel of his new generation Ford Falcon FG X, and last month said he still felt uncomfortable after a brief practice session in Darwin. The 38-year-old will return as a co-driver for Scott Pye at this season’s endurance races, but that’s as far as his commitment goes at this stage. - AAP

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

I’m a team player - Johnson Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson is prepared to move to fiveeighth next season but insists his game will remain the same no matter what jersey number he wears. Johnson - who will play his 100th NRL match at halfback against the Sydney Roosters on Sunday - is aware coach Andrew McFadden is considering shifting him to No 6 and playing injured hooker Thomas Leuluai at halfback next season, to accommodate the arrival of Kiwis and South Sydney rake Issac Luke. The 24-year-old playmaker is yet to discuss the idea with McFadden and expressed some doubt about what benefits it might have but is prepared to make the change if it is in his team’s best interests. “He [McFadden] hasn’t talked to me about that but I have seen it [in the media]. I’ll just do whatever is best for the team,” said Johnson. “If that means me wearing the number six then that means me wearing the number six but I don’t really see it being any different.”

The move would see a reversal of the numbers worn by Johnson and Leuluai last season, and regardless of whether he wears the six or seven, Johnson said his roaming attacking role would not change. “Tommy was wearing number six and I was wearing number seven and he was the halfback of the side, really,” he said of their 2014 halves partnership. “He was pushing the boys around the park and I was just sort of floating. At the moment we’ve got a good balance where

Shaun Johnson

I’m on the ball trying to get us around the park but as soon as something happens I’m straight off that and into running. “So I don’t see why we have to change that but if he wants to then I’m not going to stand in his way.” Ahead of his milestone match, Johnson acknowledged the influence McFadden has had on improving and developing his play, since replacing former head coach Matt Elliott early last season. McFadden has designed structures for both he and current fiveeighth Chad Townsend to operate within, and although both halves share the organising duties, Johnson still has the freedom to play his natural game. “He’s [McFadden] helped massively. The style that he’s

put together for our side to play, it allows me to play my own game within that. I’m a player who likes to play off instinct and opportunity and he hasn’t set any hard structures around what I do. “We’ve got forwards that are really rolling forward and creating us that second-phase footy and I’m just jumping on the back of it. It’s a pretty simple method but these are the games coming up where our game model is really going to have to stand up.” Sunday’s away clash against the third-placed Roosters - the best defensive side in the NRL looms as the biggest test of the season to date for the fourthranked Warriors. Both Johnson and captain Simon Mannering were given an early reprieve from Wednesday’s training but are in no doubt to play at Allianz, but interchange front-rower Charlie Gubb will have to prove his fitness after a head knock forced him off against the Storm. The Warriors are already resigned to being without Konrad Hurrell (shoulder) and Manu Vatuvei (shoulder) for the Roosters clash. - NZME

Froome on attack Tour de France leader Chris Froome has challenged his detractors to prove he has been doping before making unsubstantiated accusations against him. The 30-year-old has had to put up with a barrage of questions about doping since a stunning victory on the Tour’s 10th stage yesterday, when he decimated his rivals to open up an almost three-minute lead. While fending off questions about his legitimacy someone allegedly hacked his Sky team’s computers and stole some training data which was then published on the internet. “Those people should come and see us train, see how hard we work and see how I live my life,” said a defiant Froome. - AFP

Manly pair focused Star Manly halves Kieran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans believe finally playing free of their contract hassles is enabling them to find their best form as the Sea Eagles ready themselves for a late charge at the NRL top eight. The futures of Foran and Cherry-Evans have been one of the NRL’s key narratives this season, with the former only settling his future with Parramatta two weeks ago. Since then Manly have secured back-to-back wins for just the second time this season. “It is always nice to get that stuff out of the way and now I can fully focus on the last eight to 12 games here at Manly and make the most of it,” Kiwi international Foran said. - NZME

Smith’s 300th game Melbourne halfback Cooper Cronk is warning that the Storm need to focus on winning rather than getting caught up in the emotion of Cameron Smith’s 300th NRL game. Ahead of the milestone game against the Panthers tonight, Cronk felt that was the best way to honour their captain’s achievement. Smith will become the first Storm player to reach the mark, and the 24th NRL player. - AAP

Finals berths still wide open BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGAURDIAN.CO.NZ

Four teams are still a chance to suit up in the Watters Cup final heading into tomorrow’s final round, with bonus point wins required all round. Methven currently lead the standings on 14 points, but they could still miss out on a place in the final altogether depending on how the results go. The combined champions have the bye and are in the strange situation of cheering on rivals Southern to do them a favour against Celtic. The greens head to Hinds needing a bonus point win to draw level on points with Methven - boasting the tiebreaker af-

ter their round robin win over the Mallards. However, if Rakaia can only collect four points against Hampstead – they too will finish on 14 and see for-and-against come into play - and that would see Methven miss out. Southern are still a mathematical chance, if they can score four tries in beating Celtic, and Hampstead win by eight or more. Simply put; Celtic want five points or they will be spectators on August 1. Rakaia can be happy enough with just four while Methven are cheering on Southern for the win - or at least to deny Celtic four tries.

Highlanders star tries a black jersey P18

Southern want five points and Hampstead to win by at least eight. Hampstead just want a win. The most crucial results will come from Hinds. Celtic line up knowing their fate is in their own hands, but they will be offered no quarter from their hosts. Rumours of resting representative players ahead of the Ranfurly Shield wouldn’t wash with Southern coach Jason Rickard. “I don’t like losing so there is no way that would happen,” Rickard said. “We want to win and we wouldn’t mind Hampstead doing us a favour against Rakaia.

WATTERS CUP Methven Rakaia Celtic Southern Hampstead

Pts 14 (+9) 10 (+17) 9 (+32) 6 (-2) 0 (-63)

“Things have been a bit flat with us the last few weeks and our destiny is not in our hands which is frustrating. “But this could be this squad’s last game together so we will certainly be turning up to play.” Southern need only remember

their last outing against Celtic for motivation, a 43-14 win in Mayfield in what was a consolation playoff in the combined competition. This time Celtic turn up with everything to play for. In the other match Rakaia head to Hampstead needing the win to collect the Mossy Tait Cup and finish top of the table putting them into a third straight final, and the chance at a rare Watters Cup hattrick. They will meet a desperate Hampstead side looking to break their drought, without a Watters Cup round robin win since 2009, in what is their last game of the season.
