Junior doctors on strike

BY COLIN ENGELBRECHT COLIN.E@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Thousands of junior doctors across the country are set to strike but the number of participants in Ashburton is unknown.

Resident doctors went on strike at 7am today to protest for safer hours and they will return to work on Thursday morning.

The doctors, who are currently expected to work 12 days in a row, are asking for their roster to be shortened to 10 days.

They are also asking for the night shift roster to be shortened from seven consecutive evenings to four.

“

We don’t have the exact numbers (of those striking), but it will affect Ashburton significantly

Michael Frampton, Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) general manager of people and capability said of the 490 resident doctors employed by the board, about 70 per cent are members

tors’ Association (NZRDA) were able to confirm how many would be striking.

A spokesperson for the NZRDA said nationally there are over 3300 junior doctors who are striking.

“We don’t have the exact numbers, but it will affect Ashburton significantly,” the spokesperson said in a previous interview.

Since receiving the strike notice last week, Frampton said the CDHB has been working hard to ensure there will be safe care over the 48 hour period when the resident doctors will be on strike.

He said continuing to provide safe care for patients during the

strike remains the highest priority and focus for those working in the Canterbury health system.

“The DHB is prioritising essential and acute services over others and this means hundreds of outpatient appointments and around 150 elective surgeries are being rescheduled.

“Patients who have appointments or surgery booked during the strike period can expect to hear from Canterbury DHB whether they are affected or not,” he said.

People are asked to contact their GP first, unless it is a life threatening emergency.

■ LANDLORDS’ INSURANCE

Need for clarity on rental claims ‘desperate’

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Any moves that makes tenants accept more responsibility for the property they rent would be a good move, local letting agents say.

After two high profile cases this year where rulings were made in favour of tenants over insurance claims for property damage, the rental industry desperately needs some clarity around accidents, negligence and responsibility, says Trevor Hurley.

He’s supporting efforts by Housing Minister Nick Smith to make changes that would see more responsibility and some of the costs for damage moved onto tenants. And it would clarify what was accidental and what was negligence in terms of damage.

“The change can’t come soon enough,” he said.

While most tenants were good tenants, there were always occasions where damage that was clearly not accidental occurred to a property but currently, under the Residential Tenancy Act the landlord’s insurer foots the bill for repairs and the landlord is hit with paying the excess, Hurley said.

In one case a rental property burned down because the tenants left an untended pot on the stove and in the other a tenant under a no pets policy tenancy ruined carpet when dogs urinated in the house. In both courts ruled the clean-up job had to be footed by the landlords’ insurers.

“The question is, is the damage

an accident or is it negligence.

What they’re looking at would make it a much more level playing field for both the tenants and the landlord. Currently the landlords can’t recover the cost of the damage if they have insurance and they also end up paying the excess.”

The current all care – no responsibility renting environment provided no incentive for tenants to take care of a property, he said.

When the ruling on the house fire case hit the headlines that sent shock waves through the insurance industry, Hurley said as it was against an understanding that tenants paid for careless damage.

There were predictions that the decision would lead to a rash of investment property sales.

While insurance was not compulsory for tenants, Hurley said he encourages all people taking up a tenancy with his company to take out cover.

“More and more landlords are also asking tenants if they have insurance,” he said.

His company carries out threemonthly property inspections, but even with that high level of vigilance, a lot could change in that time, especially if a tenant’s circumstances changed, Hurley said.

Landlords currently were left carrying costs for tenant damage and for a clean-up job and furniture storage if tenants simply walked out of a property, he said.

“What’s being looked at now is common sense that should be applied.”

Pet parade ends mini show day The A&P show came to Longbeach School yesterday when students and parents took part in their own mini show day.

First up were tests of students’ skills in baking, flower arranging and construction. While these creations were being judged the students headed outdoors for several hours of mayhem.

Strength was tested during several tug-of-war events (with

the girls topping the boys on most occasions) and accuracy challenges saw youngsters hurling wet sponges at beer cans.

While the indoor events and judging was left in the hands of the grandmas, the dads took charge of the outdoor challenges, teacher Sarah Patrick said.

“Fair to say, the kids loved the dads’ activities and getting wet seemed to be the order of the

day for them – and some of the staff,” she said.

Longbeach students were joined by junior classes from Netherby School for the day.

The afternoon wrapped up with a pet parade that saw everything ranging from calves and lambs to goldfish in a jar, goats and a cat that made a bid for freedom, but was eventually recaptured.

Smith stands down from Bledisloe New Zealand Rugby has announced All Blacks halfback Aaron Smith has stood down from this weekend’s Bledisloe Cup test against the Wallabies at Eden Park in the wake of his one-match ban following the incident at Christchurch Airport.

The 27-year-old was banned for one match after All Blacks coaching staff were told Smith was seen walking into a disabled toilet cubicle with a female companion at Christchurch Airport before the team travelled to Argentina on September 18.

It was revealed yesterday Smith

has voluntarily withdrawn from playing in the third dead rubber Bledisloe Cup game in Auckland.

The disciplinary matter was heard over two hours by a panel chaired by New Zealand Rugby General Manager Rugby Neil Sorensen.

“It’s important to note that as an employment matter, it is not usual to comment publicly on proceedings. However, in the circumstances, there is a need to make some public comment,” Sorensen said.

“The misconduct meeting has concluded: • In light of the impact on the

reputation of All Blacks jersey and the commercial partners Aaron’s actions amounted to serious misconduct • Aaron Smith will be issued with a formal warning • He will voluntarily stand down from assembling with the All Blacks for this weekend’s Bledisloe Cup Test match • He will forfeit his selection fees and, • He is committed to getting the support he needs to deal with personal issues and to work on his relationship with his partner.

■ ANTIQUES FAIR CHARITABLE TRUST

Items from the past showcased Some of the best from the past in the way of antiques and collectibles was on show and up for sale in Ashburton over the weekend.

For two days the Tinwald Memorial Hall became a showcase of a huge range of items from the past as dealers from across New Zealand set up for business for a fundraiser for the Antiques Fair Charitable Trust.

And while numbers through the door might have been a little disappointing, trustee Diane Akers said the fair will be returning next year.

The trust stages 22 fairs across New Zealand where dealers set up for business, paying a site rental to cover all costs.

Door takings are given to a charity and while this is often a hospice, Akers said in the past money has been given to cancer appeals, for a church re-roof and to the Christchurch City Mission.

Ashburton’s recipient is still to be decided, she said.

The fair is booked for a return visit on November 14 and 15 next year.

■ METHVEN FUNDRAISER

Judge remands Te Tomo in custody

Charity fight night to raise funds for rugby club lights

Two sets of road spikes were required to stop Sonny Dee Te Tomo during a high speed chase around Levin earlier this month.

Yesterday he admitted charges of reckless driving, failing to stop and three counts of breaching prison release conditions during an appearance before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court.

Te Tomo denied two charges of assaulting a woman and two of breaching a protection

order. Those matters will be heard at a judge-alone trial in December.

The court was told police attempted to pull Te Tomo over in a routine traffic stop in Levin on October 1, when he took off at speed.

During the course of the pursuit he drove at speeds of 100km/h where 50km limits were in place, run red lights, drove on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic, forcing other motorists, including police officers, off

the road. The first set of road spikes failed to stop him and a second set was deployed after Te Tomo took the chase onto State Highway One. When forced to stop he ran off but was found hiding in bushes nearby.

Te Tomo was subject to two arrest warrants at the time pertaining to charges in the Ashburton District Court.

He was remanded in custody until December 5.

A number of amateur Methven boxers are stepping into the ring to fight for charity.

The Dubliner Pub in Methven is hosting a charity fight night to raise money for the Methven Rugby Football Club.

The proceeds will go towards a lighting upgrade for the club and a donation will also be made to St John.

The fight, on Saturday, December 10, has attracted more than 30 contenders and it will be held in the Methven Heritage Centre.

The Dubliner isn’t just hosting it though, they’ve taken a hands-on approach as the owner Gary Manning

and Chef Joe Keepa are coaching.

The trainings are held weekly in Methven’s Mountain Gym, who have kindly made their facilities available.

Manning said they were blown away with the level of interest in fighting at the event.

“It’s really great to see an almost equal split between male and female fighters,” he said.

Manning said they were currently in the process of pairing the fighters together for the night.

In total there will be over 10 fights on the night and a prize will be given out to the best dressed male and female.

Tickets are now available for purchase and can be bought at The Methven Rugby Football Club.

Championship agility event deemed a success

By Noah Graham

Noah.G@theGuardiaN.co.Nz

The Canterbury Dogs Training Club’s Championship Agility Event was a success for the club.

More than 140 owners, with 250 dogs in tow, from around the country competed at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds last weekend where owners instructed their dogs to weave, jump and run their way around different courses.

Canterbury Dogs Training Club show manager Debbie Woods said the event was a good chance for dog owners to practice for the New Zealand Dog Agility Championships in Rakaia on Labour weekend.

Woods said it was the cham-

pionships that sparked the extra interest this year.

Competitors from the North Island had enjoyed themselves and prepared well, Woods said.

She said the dogs were separated by their their size and competed in one of five different courses and required the owners to instruct their dogs to navigate through a set of poles, “the weaves”, crawl through tunnels and jump over A frames and vaults, she said.

Woods said there was a “wee” bit of interest from the public who stopped to have a “good look”.

“We did get a lot of drivers going by and turning back around to have another look.”

Drunk driver ends up in water race The following people appeared before Judge Joanna Maze in the Ashburton District Court yesterday.

Vincent Caldumbide, 27, of Methven made a good choice when he walked to the pub, but a bad one when he decided to drive to Ashburton afterwards.

The French national lost control of the vehicle and ended up in a water race. When police arrived Caldumbide returned a breath alcohol test of 855 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath (EBA 855mcg/l).

Yesterday he was convicted, disqualified from driving for six months and ordered to complete 70 hours of community work.

Francois Louis Strydom, 33, of Methven was convicted for drink driving with an excess blood alcohol level of 169 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood.

He was disqualified from driving for six months, fined $500 and ordered to pay court costs of $130 and medical and analyst fees of $182.

Sela Miti Cook, 32, of Netherby

admitted charges of shoplifting and theft. She will be sentenced on November 14.

Edward James Searle, 23, of Ruapuna was convicted and ordered to pay $500 in reparations to a man he fired a gun at to frighten him off the property.

Jason Donald McLaren, 44, of Netherby admitted charges of breaching a community work sentence and a supervision order.

He was sentenced to six months’ supervision to include counselling as directed.

Ayden Noel Hill, 31, of Peel Forest was convicted on four counts of breaching a protection order and one of breaching a community work sentence. He was sentenced to six months’ supervision and ordered to pay $350 in reparation to his victim.

Moon Tuilaepa, 37, of Ashburton, admitted charges of assault with a blunt instrument, assaulting a woman and wilful damage. He was sentenced to nine months’ supervision to include counselling as directed.

The court was told Tuilaepa argued with his victim, punching her in the head and kicking her before striking her with a vacuum cleaner pipe.

He then threw her phone against a wall. Children were present during the altercation.

Tuilaepa was ordered to pay $130 in reparations to his victim and a protection order was issued against the victim and the children.

Tyler Daniel Croll-Davis, 21, of Tinwald, was returned to custody without plea on two charges of assaulting a woman, assault, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police signals and driving while disqualified.

An Ashburton woman who dealt in psychoactive substances and was also found in possession of benzylpiperazine (BZP or party pills) has turned her life around, the court was told.

Rebecca Phillipa Williams, 28, confessed to selling the psychoactive substances for cash.

Williams wept in the dock during yesterday’s sentencing. Her lawyer Paul Bradford said the

charges had presented an opportunity for his client to take stock of her situation and seek help.

She was sentenced to ninety hours of community work and nine months of supervision, to include counselling as directed.

Damon James Wells, 41, of Allenton, was convicted of assaulting a woman and ordered to come back before the court if called within six months for similar offending.

He had already made a voluntary emotional harm payment of $600 to his victim and his offending was on the lower end of the domestic violence scale. The court was told Wells held her on either side of her head and held her during an argument.

Topia Santo Patrick Rini, 53, of Ashburton, admitted one charge of assaulting a woman by holding her throat, but denied a second charge. That matter will form the basis of a defended facts hearing on December 6.

Wayne Douglas Witehira, 27, of Tinwald, was sentenced to 75 hours community work for driv-

ing while his licence was suspended.

Sarah Lorraine Butler, of Ashburton, repeatedly struck a man around the head while he attempted to call the police. Yesterday she was convicted and sentenced to nine months’ supervision to include counselling as directed.

Paul William Abbott, 33, of Allenton, was convicted of obtaining $1200 by deception. He was remanded on bail for sentencing on October 31.

Johnny Alefaio-Patu, 37, of Ashburton, admitted charges of stealing a wallet from a vehicle and breaching bail. He was sentenced to six months’ supervision and 50 hours of community work.

The court was told Alefaio-Patu had a significant history of offending in Australia, including convictions for dishonesty, but had come to Ashburton where he had family support to make a new start.

Warrants were issued for Mitchell James Klever and Elvis Purua.

Hula hoop takes on a new lease on life

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The hula hoop craze had kids and teens of the ’60s twisting, twirling and spinning plastic tubes around their bodies – arms, legs, necks, torso, if the hoop could go around it, they slipped it on and spun it.

Today that hoop has taken a new lease on life, this time as an exercise tool.

Around New Zealand hula hooping has become that latest exercise craze and Ashburton is part of the new wave of hoopers.

Yvonne Taylor tutors classes in Ashburton, Fairlie and Timaru and is currently taking hooping for beginners on Saturday mornings in the Ashburton College gym.

You don’t need to book, just turn up with $15 in your hand and you can be part of a fitness activity that many find addictive, Taylor said.

She attended a class earlier this year and was hooked.

“I just fell I love with the hoops and signed up as a franchisee. I was so taken with it,” she said.

The list of benefits that come from regular hooping are long – body toning and the moving around of energy and it is also an excellent brain exercise and retrainer.

“It’s a joyous thing; you’re undoing pathways in your brain.”

Most take to hooping with ease but the odd person needs to put in a bit of work to become proficient, but eventually everyone gets it, Taylor said.

■ IRAQ

Battle for Mosul begins Iraqi state television says Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has announced the start of operations to liberate the northern city of Mosul from Isis militants.

State TV showed a brief written statement announcing the start of the widely anticipated military offensive to drive Isis (Islamic State) out of Iraq’s second largest city.

The push to retake Mosul will be the biggest military operation in Iraq since American troops left in 2011 and, if successful, the strongest blow yet to Isis.

Mosul fell to Isis in June of 2014, when the extremist group blitzed across northern and western Iraq, overrunning nearly a third of the country and plunging Iraq into its most critical political and security crisis since the US-led invasion in 2003.

The most recent string of territorial victories for Iraqi ground forces have been in the country’s west.

Iraqi forces retook the major city of Ramadi in late 2015, followed by a number of towns and villages along the Euphrates River valley and then Fallujah in June.

Iraqi forces began moving into Nineveh province to surround Mosul in July, when

Thousands of Iraqi troops began massing there ahead of the planned operation. Iraqi troops were also deployed east of Mosul in the Khazer

Wayward truck ‘plunges from the sky’ A pickup truck plummeted 60 feet from a San Diego overpass on Sunday, crushing and killing four people who were attending a festival and injuring nine.

A member of the US Navy was arrested after the pickup truck he was driving plunged off a San Diego bridge.

Authorities identified the driver as Richard Anthony Sepolio, 25, who was stationed at

the naval base on Coronado Island across the bay from San Diego.

Sepolio was alone in the truck when he lost control and it struck a guardrail and fell 60 feet onto a vendor’s booth at Chicano Park, California Highway Patrol Officer Jake Sanchez said.

He was taken to the hospital with major injuries and was later arrested on suspicion of

driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs causing deaths and injuries, the officer said.

The California Highway Patrol identified the deceased as a 62-year-old man and 50-yearold woman from Chandler, Arizona, and a 59-year-old man and 49-year-old woman from Hacienda Heights, a suburb east of Los Angeles.

According to the Daily Mail, Robbie commented at the Attitude Awards in London last week: “I’ve had some fillers, and some Botox, and I’ve had something done to my chin which means I can’t even move my f***ing forehead.”

Robbie, who is making a comeback with the album, The Heavy Entertainment Show, recently revealed that he still worries about his physical appearance.

He previously said: “My brain idles at neuroses and worry and panic,” he said.

Resident doctors’ schedule punishing James Ford

NEWS CO-ORDINATOR

M

embers of the New Zealand Resident Doctors’ Association (RDA) began their strike at 7am this morning and it will conclude at 7am on Thursday.

Up to 3000 doctors will participate in the strike following lengthy periods of negotiations between the union and District Health Boards.

The RDA is fighting for the maximum number of days worked consecutively to be reduced from 12 to10, and the number of night shifts cut from seven to four.

Michael Frampton, Canterbury DHB General Manager People and Capability, said continuing to provide safe care for patients during the strike remains the highest priority and focus for those working in the Canterbury health system.

And we can be confident that those measures have been taken, while the Emergency Department at Christchurch Hospital will remain open during the strike.

But how have we got to this point?

The strike has, inevitably, evoked plenty of debate and polarising views.

Some have questioned the striking doctors’ morals and duty of care.

While others empathise with what, quite frankly, can only be described as a punishing schedule.

Ashburton has eight junior doctors, how many of them, or if any are striking, cannot be confirmed.

But surely from a logical standpoint it seems that the union’s request is reasonable.

The responsiblity of doctors is huge, they have people’s lives in their hands daily.

And, like the rest of us, to ensure they are able to work as productively and safely as possible must be given reasonable working hours.

The changes that the doctors are striking for are fair.

The way in which their hands have been forced for a chance of change is not.

These men and women have chosen to serve those in need, and their dedication, skill and wellbeing must be respected.

The last people we want tired are doctors.

recently had the great experience of being picked as an employer expert for an International Labour Organisation sector group meeting.

We discussed draft policy guidelines on improving sustainable livelihoods in the agro food sector.

So what is the ILO? It’s one of the oldest international organisations still going. It was set up in 1921 under the old League of Nations, which was replaced by the United Nations after World War Two. In simple terms, its function is to improve working conditions around the world, and is based on tripartite consensus. Everything that comes out from it is agreed to by representatives of government, employers and employees.

When the decision was made to do the agro food guidelines, the call went out for employer representatives from the rural sector across the world. That eventually made its way to my inbox and had me thinking ‘sounds interesting, I’ll give it a crack’.

The document focused mainly on the developing world; in fact it turned out I was the only expert from a developed country in the room.

I think I was chosen mainly because of the country I’m from. The OIE (Organisation International Employers) likes New Zealanders, we have a reputation for being no nonsense, for getting stuck in,

Andrew Hoggard FROM THE FARM

and not backing down when we believe we are right. They took a punt that I was a typical Kiwi; hopefully I didn’t disappoint.

The process was fairly intense as the document was extremely wordy, repetitive and filled with waffle that if interpreted in certain ways could prove dangerous.

I got made group spokesperson so had to sit there all day, arguing back and forth on each paragraph.

I’m not sure how some of my more colourful Kiwi expressions got translated into Arabic and Spanish, obviously not too badly as none of the Arabic or South American representatives leapt out of their seats to assault me.

Readers may wonder why should we care about such global documents. How is it going to impact me on the farm?

Well, I seriously doubt the document I was involved with would have been ratified by our government if it had gone through unchanged.

But let’s just say we do a United States and end up with a choice of voting for Tweedledumb or Tweedledumber, and we select

Tweedledumber and they ratify the document.

Suddenly the government should be setting all rural wages and multi-employer collective bargaining is recommended.

Meaning you no longer get to have a discussion with your employees about what you feel they are worth, it is decided for you.

Other less than palatable concepts in the document included opinions that organic production would result in higher output and employment. I pointed out that in my case switching to organics would result in production decreasing, and staff numbers being cut.

Given the current prices for organics, yes it maybe a worthwhile option for some, no argument, but it would not increase production.

Another big concern I had was a section on child labour. I get what they were trying to outlaw, but they needed to recognise that kids doing a bit of work on the weekends, after school or during the holidays isn’t necessarily bad, it can be a good thing for their development.

Many of us as kids have done paper runs, helping out on the farm, etc, and we did it because we wanted to and we still got an education.

New Zealand is one of the few countries that has refused to ratify the Convention on Child Labour for this reason. Anyway, the

document did not get approved due to strong employer group disagreement.

This whole experience has taught me why it is vitally important we fully understand the implications of any international treaty or convention our government is asked to ratify.

There could be dangerous suggestions within it. Also, the risk is that such documents borrow heavily from other documents which have often been based on another document.

A bit of embellishment is added in each time and suddenly people are espousing a supposed fact because this international document says so.

As a trading nation we must remain engaged with the world. I get worried that industry bodies are afraid to send people to global events for fear of it looking like a junket.

We need to get over ourselves; even during tough times we need Kiwis on the world stage calling it like it is.

Thankfully my trip was all paid for by the ILO. It was no junket – I had three spare hours to do a quick tour of Geneva, the rest of my time was spent in a room at the ILO talking, or sleeping in my hotel room.

In brief

■ DAIRY TRADE AUCTION

Milk powder rise expected The price for New Zealand’s key dairy product, whole milk powder, is expected to rise at this week’s GlobalDairyTrade auction after two consecutive declines, according to traders who are pricing in a small lift on the NZX futures market.

Whole milk powder futures for October last traded at $US2800 ($NZ3951) a tonne, a premium to their previous GDT level and implying prices will edge up 0.6 per cent at tonight’s auction, according to AgriHQ senior dairy analyst Susan Kilsby.

The futures are pricing in a lift to $US3000 ($NZ4233) a tonne by July 2017.

The average price for whole milk powder has declined by a total of 4.1 per cent over the past two fortnightly GDT auctions following four consecutive gains which pushed up the price by 36 per cent.

The futures suggest traders expect the price to stabilise after New Zealand’s dominant

milk processor Fonterra Cooperative Group said it would reduce the amount of product at auction because its Waikato milk volumes for October were down 10 per cent from the same time last year as a wet spring impacted pastures.

“We have seen a bit of a lift in the futures, suggesting we may see a small uplift in whole milk powder in this week’s GDT,” AgriHQ’s Kilsby said.

“The positive we are seeing out of it is that the markets aren’t expected to trend down any longer.”

Kilsby said prices stabilised after Fonterra’s announcement about weaker production flowed into the market.

While the southern hemisphere is experiencing lower milk production, there is still uncertainty over the longer term about the likely peak production levels from the northern hemisphere spring somewhere around March and April, she said.

A leading Chinese real estate business has studied the world’s fastest-rising house prices and found New Zealand topped the list of 45 countries. Juwai, the biggest portal for Chinese searching here for properties in New Zealand, released its global house price index this month and said a new market had emerged as the world leader. “New Zealand has overtaken Europe to take the lead as the strongest performer this quarter with a 10.43 per cent increase. In contrast, the Australian market underwent a gradual slowdown.

Giving it all away “It’s quite a lonely job being a woman running a FTSE company,” admits Ruby McGregor-Smith.

She would know. At 43, young by any measure, she became the first Asian woman to take the helm of a FTSE 250 company, and has spent the last decade as chief executive of Mitie, where the outsourcing firm’s turnover increased by over £1 billion ($1.7 billion) on her watch. This week, she gave it all up. In a move that raised eyebrows in the City, she announced she would be stepping down from her role as CEO, with its enviable £2.5 million salary.

‘Fairytale’ house sells for double its value An Auckland real estate agent was surprised when the St Heliers house he was marketing, which had a $1.5 million CV, went for more than double that at $3.3 million.

David Nightingale of Harcourts St Heliers said the 135sq m house on a 238sq m site at 441 Tamaki Dr sold at auction yesterday for $3.3 million.

Yet Auckland Council lists the property as having a capital value of only $1.54 million, although that assessment dates back to mid2014.

“We thought it might be mid to high ‘twos’,” Nightingale said, referring to a possible sale in the $2 million region.

“I was surprised.

“But there were over 200 people at the auction and there were six to eight bidders,” he said of the auction of the fairytale house.

“It’s iconic because it’s as close to the waterfront as you’re going to get and it was the cute or historic factor,” Nightingale said.

“It was very hard because there’s nothing to compare it to.

“But it’s getting very hard to value real estate.

“It’s like a fruit bowl.

“You’re trying to give estimates but it’s the market that really sets values and we’re getting constantly surprised,” he said.

Hi-tech firms miss out New Zealand’s hi-tech companies are stuck in start-up mode for too long due to poorly executing cost-effective sales, says the Market Measures report on the $16.2 billion industry. The annual report, now in its eighth year, is produced by marketing advisory firms Concentrate and Swaytech and surveys 327 tech companies nationwide on their marketing and sales processes. Concentrate managing director Owen Scott said there’s no problem with the world-class technology Kiwi companies are producing but too few of them are growing to a substantial size as they struggle to cost-effectively scale their sales and marketing.

Four of New Zealand’s supermarket brands have joined forces to combat growing childhood obesity in New Zealand. Last month the Ministry of Health launched its obesity action plan aimed at preventing and managing obesity in children under 18, which included a focus on the food industry and moves to change food labelling, marketing and advertising. In response, supermarket giants Foodstuffs New Zealand and Progressive Enterprises along with Moore Wilson and Co. and Bin Inn Retail Group have signed a collective pledge to support the plan. - NZME

MARKET REPORT Dairy Another week where grass has grown ahead of stock and silage contractors have started with short days amongst the rain.

The weather has caused such rapid grass growth for some that the feed is too soft, and needs straw, hay or silage to harden it up, for good milk flows and increased liveweight.

These are small issues for South Island farmers, as their northern counterparts are having major problems in the wet conditions, and some have gone back to once a day milking and long rotations to utilise feed, and cope with the mud.

Reports suggest milk flows could be back by 10 per cent in some areas. Farmers and milk marketers will be viewing with interest NZ’s production data for September, soon to be released next week.

In the US, reports suggest the milk flows are well ahead, as an increase of cow numbers and better per head performance, has grown production ahead of demand.

Fonterra shareholders voted to change the governance model, and will soon elect only 11 directors and choose farmers representatives directly to the board.

Farm security issues were highlighted this week, as some farmers found their milking sheds were infiltrated with spying cameras and were horrified their workplace privacy was invaded. All will be hopeful of a successful police investigation.

New technology continues to progress and help make management more efficient, as body condition scoring can now be done daily by a new aid, and this will be valuable in refining feeding and mating management.

Lamb Another stable week for lamb schedules with as yet no one prepared to push the prices especially with uncertainty in the British market and the pound at a yearly high working against farmers’ returns.

The first of the spring lambs are now being seen at Coalgate and Tinwald, and those at the southern saleyard made a respectable $100/hd.

Concerns are already being expressed

that procurement tensions could erupt this year as there has been 2 million lambs lost to the sector, since the last plant closure.

And with new year prices of $4.80-$5/kg cwt suggested for lambs, and $2.40-$2.70/ kg cwt for mutton, sheep farmers will be aggressively chasing the best money just to survive.

Wool No auction this week and it is hoped the break will rekindle and reinvigorate a wool market sapped of demand and direction.

Wools of NZ posts its first annual profit at $1.48 million but still need income from its Wool Market Development Commitment to continue to be viable. While now only a small percentage of this firm’s income, the loss of this funding in mid-2018 will test the business plan and its assurances to shareholders that it can be standalone and profitable after that time.

They are also offering two second shear contracts with specific criteria returning $4.40-$4.70/kg clean to growers, which they say is 10 per cent above the present spot market.

Beef More beef falls this week especially in the manufacturing and bull grades, as domestically things go from bad to worse in the US as prices fall dramatically.

Prime grades although back on last year are holding on limited supply, as chilled beef demand remains strong.

Farmlands have announced a big loss from trading last year but directors and management need to look hard at this cooperative, after Ravensdown and PGGW made good profits in last year’s difficult financial climate.

Deer Venison schedules are stable this week, as managers try to fill every available space to achieve the excellent premiums paid.

Versatile dexters on show

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Dual-purpose dexter were on show at an open day in Wakanui on Saturday.

The ancient Irish breed are naturally small of stature, standing no more than a metre at the shoulder.

Abbey Road Stud owner Jackie Wright started her herd with a single in-calf dexter cow in 2005.

A heifer calf followed and another cow was purchased.

Calf by calf the numbers grew and she now runs 17 head of cattle.

Dexters have been coined the beefy little milkers, although none of the Abbey Road Stud cattle end up on vegetarian Wright’s table.

Their versatility makes them a popular choice on lifestyle blocks.

“They are small, hardy, good natured and durable – they don’t have too many problems with parasites,” Wright said.

“They are good eating and good house cows.”

The breed comes in three colours, black, dun and red.

“We had our first red calf this spring – we call him the Little Red Bull,” Wright said.

The names of the rest of the herd reflect the stud name, all referencing The Beatles.

This year’s crop of calves include Eleanor Rigby and Abbey Road Star – who was born on Ringo Star’s birthday.

Three red meat producers and a Central Otago wine business will go head-to-head at the finals of the Lincoln University Foundation 2016 South Island Farmer of the Year at Lincoln University on November 16.

They are James Dicey, a viticulturist and owner of Grape Vision Limited based in Bannockburn, Central Otago, Lauren and Geoff Shaw, sheep and beef farmers in Central Otago, Fairlie sheep, beef and venison growers Lyn and Neil Campbell and Mendip Hills Station manager Simon Lee, from North Canterbury.

Foundation chair Ben Todhunter is looking forward to a great finals night on November 16.

“The finals dinner is always one of the highlights of this competition,” he said.

“It’s a chance to hear directly from the finalists about what makes their business succeed; their innovations and inventions, vital points of difference, and generally just what makes a farm business, good enough to make the finals of this prestigious competition, tick.

“This event is a key part of the foundation’s work to encourage and develop excellence and leadership in New Zealand’s primary industries and I encourage all farmers to join us to support the finalists’ presentations, and learn from them.”

The finals and dinner will be held at Lincoln University Te Kete Ika – Food and Function Centre from 5.30pm. Bookings can be made at http://www.lincolnuniversityfoundation.org.nz/

The Forester Lodge

By Kathleen Stringer

A

shburton Museum’s Archive recently received a special collection of material from the Forester Lodge.

Among the items were some beautifully executed certificates, dripping with symbolism. Of particular interest to one of our volunteers was the costume of the men. While we may be familiar with lodge members wearing sashes and collars, these men looked like something out of Robin Hood.

What was going on with their unusual get-up?

Indeed, such finery – especially the green tunics and rather tight fitting leggings – was totally appropriate to both Robin of Loxley and the Forester Lodge.

For this lodge, as the name implies, was originally established to provide support to men working in the forestry industry. Even now, working in such an occupation is a rather dangerous activity and often weather dependant. While today injured or unemployed workers can apply for assistance from government agencies, in the ‘days of yore’ people had to rely on each other for support.

Friendly Societies were established to provide financial aid and brotherly support to members who paid a subscription, and obviously these groups would only want to support those who had contributed.

In a time when people were mobile, but often illiterate, secret signs and passwords were devised In order to ensure membership.

Ritual and mystery Once one understands the history behind such societies, the ritual and mystery begins to make a lot more sense.

However, in the past, those on the outside struggled to understand what was happening at lodge meetings with the funny clothes, passwords and signs. So they took what little they knew, or had heard, and embroidered quite bizarre and unfounded stories, some of which survive until this day.

For example, often people make comment that many of the lodges have their meetings according to the full moon – a sure sign of evil or suspicious behaviour.

The reason, however, was based on practicality – with only a buggy

In fact, if one looks at early newspapers it would be apparent that many activities – from balls to school committee meetings – were calendared according to the moon.

Lodges in our archives The majority of lodge material held in our archives are from occupational lodges.

Apart from the Foresters, we have records of the Masons, Odd Fellows, Manchester Unity Odd Fellows and Buffalos. All these lodges provided very important functions to their members but can you guess what they did?

Masons – possibly the most well-known lodge – were just that: stonemasons and people in associated trades. Not only was their job very dangerous but full of prestige.

A master mason could expect high wages, so the skills associated with their craft were often claimed by imposters. Having signs, such as the handshake, enabled those on the inside to know who was ‘legit’ and who wasn’t, especially as early masons travelled throughout Europe.

Odd Fellows were a collective of those who required a lodge, but didn’t really fit into other groups.

A breakaway group was established by those who worked in the very dirty and potentially dangerous textile industry – these

Certificate certifying membership of the Juvenile Foresters Society. became known as the Manchester Unity Odd Fellows.

The Buffalo Lodge was not established to provide relief for hunters, but supported those in the theatre industry.

While not as dangerous as erecting a building or crawling under weaving machines, actors and other performers were often unemployed so required some assistance during their breaks.

Part of their initiation ritual often included novices having to prove their worth by performing.

This may be the reason why they are sometimes considered the ‘party animal’ of lodges.

Other lodges that we have material on are more philosophical or religious. The Orange Order catered for the Protestant inhabitants of Ireland, who while having a great deal of privilege and power were in the minority as far as numerical strength was concerned.

Conversely, the Hibernian Lodge was largely for Catholics who were barred from joining

secret societies and were marginalised in many societies.

Temperance Societies – such as the Good Templars – focused their activities on supporting their abstaining brothers as well as providing financial aid.

Possibly my favourite friendly society is the Druid Lodge. The man who established this order thought that society was becoming too self-focused and negative, so he formed a group “to enlighten the mind, promote harmony, encourage temperance, energy, and virtue” and based the rituals on the ancient druids.

While we don’t have any Druid Lodge material in the collection here in Ashburton, in Oamaru we were given ceremonial robes which consisted of a huge white robe with an oversized hood and a fake beard.

Again, like the Foresters in their slinky tights, the clothes looked to us outsiders as weird, but on understanding their background it was a natural and fitting garb.

Lodges are becoming a thing of the past and many struggle to attract new members. Their history is being lost under a cloud of misunderstanding, which is a real shame in my opinion.

Regardless of whether people approve of them or not they have played an enormous part in the lives of many of our ancestors.

Although we think of lodges as men-only organisations, many lodges permitted women to join their ranks, or the ladies formed their own associated branches.

Highlighting the fact that the support lodges gave was not just financial but social, many lodges also had juvenile branches which were composed largely of the children of members.

Our collection of lodge material may be small, but is well worth investigating to dispel some myths and stories you may have heard and for the insight it gives into just one of many ways people have worked together to help one and all.

Symon serves it up at the Oak Grove courts Winchmore’s Symon Restieaux powers through a big serve during Sunday’s opening day of Mid Canterbury’s Rose Bowl tennis. The opening day tournament consisted of drawn pairs for doubles matches, and served as an opener for the pre-Christmas tournament which plays in the county’s courts and involves six teams from Lyndhurst, Highbank, Winchmore and Fairton.

Top spot looms for Murray Andy Murray closed in on world No.1 Novak Djokovic after winning his sixth title of the year with victory at the Shanghai Masters yesterday.

The Scot beat Roberto Bautista Agut, Djokovic’s semi-final conqueror 7-6 (7-1) 6-1 in 96 minutes to extend his winning run to 10 matches after triumphing at the China Open in Beijing a week ago.

Victory in Shanghai, Murray’s 41st career title, cut the gap to Djokovic to 915 points.

The first set went with serve until Murray broke his Spanish opponent to take a 4-3 lead but when Bautista Agut broke back and then made it 6-5, Murray took the first set to a tie-break with a love game.

He cruised through the tie-break 7-1 to make it 19 sets won in a row before three breaks of service, to his opponent’s one, in the second set eased the Briton into a 5-1 lead from where he closed out the match with a number of 160km/h second serves and powerful groundstrokes. - PA

Caroline Wozniacki struggled over three sets with Kristina Mladenovic before finishing off a 6-1 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 victory at the Hong Kong Open to earn the 25th title of her career yesterday.

Denmark’s former world No.1 has now won two titles in four Asian events after taking out the Tokyo trophy last month.

Wozniacki denied doubles ace Mladenovic, a reigning Roland Garros champion and finalist at two other grand slams, a first career singles title in a battle lasting for 2 hours, 40 minutes.

Wozniacki is back to 22nd after injuries earlier in the year which kept her off the circuit for two months.

The title win came a day after she knocked out defending champion Jelena Jankovic in the semifinals at Victoria Park.

The winner finished the week with the loss of just one set, which came in the middle of the final.

But Wozniacki re-established her first-set dominance in the deciding set, earning the defining break for 5-2.

She lost serve trying to close out the contest, but broke her French opponent in the next game, going through on a second match point.

“I think I can be very proud of myself and the way I managed to fight back (during the season),” the 26-year-old Wozniacki said.

“Before the US Open (she played a semi-final), I was almost 80 in the rankings, now I’m back near the top 20. It’s a big step.

“I’ve been playing well and getting a lot of wins in.

“That’s something I’m very proud of, and something I haven’t been through before.

“Proving to myself that I’m still one of the top players and that I’m tough to beat is definitely something that I could call a success.”

■ PERTH

In brief

Walker to ride Kawi Former champion New Zealand jockey Michael Walker will ride Kawi in Australia.

Taranaki trainer Allan Sharrock confirmed the engagement as he puts the finishing touches on the star son of Savabeel ahead of a three-start campaign in Perth.

“Michael’s going to be riding him and the horse looks magnificent,” he said.

“He won a jump-out the other day and his last public appearance will be at the Waverley trials on Thursday.

“He flies to Melbourne on October 29 and he’ll be there for a day and a half before he carries on to Perth.

“There’s a risk involved every time you travel a horse, but Kawi is a good traveller so I can’t see any problems.”

Kawi is looking a picture as he prepares for Perth campaign. ner will make his debut at Ascot on November 5 in the Gr.2 Lee

Steere Stakes, a race won last year by Saturday’s Gr.1 Cox Plate

contender Black Heart Bart.

“That’s over 1400 metres at weight-for-age so it’s an ideal race,” Sharrock said.

Kawi will then target Ascot’s two major prizes, the $A1 million Gr.1 Railway Stakes on November 19 and the $A1 million Gr.1 Kingston Town Classic on December 3.

Walker began his career by serving his apprenticeship with Sharrock and he made a remarkable start by winning both the apprentices’ title and also the senior jockeys’ premiership with a total of 131 winners in his first full season in the 1999-2000 term.

Walker is now based in Victoria where in recent seasons he has been forging a successful association with the Hayes and Dabernig training combination.

Allpress injured Lisa Allpress’ riding stint in Japan has been halted by injury. The champion New Zealand jockey is believed to have broken her tibia after she parted company with a two-year-old on their way to the barrier. Allpress began her second three month contract in Japan in September having ridden seven winners there during her initial spell last year.

Patience with Mihaul Allan Sharrock is in no rush to have the unbeaten Mihaul back at the races. “I’m going to take my time with him – the Derby’s not until March,” the New Plymouth trainer said. “He might go to the Waverley trials on Thursday, I’ll decide on that after he’s worked in the morning.

He’s doing very, very well.” - NZME

Barman off to Moonee Chris Waller believes the Gr.2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup on Saturday is the ideal race for Who Shot Thebarman to further his preparation for another crack at the Gr.1 Melbourne Cup. “I like the Moonee Valley track as it’s quite forgiving,” Waller said.

■ CRICKET

In brief

NZ batsmen crumble again New Zealand’s sub-standard batting performances in India continued at the start of their fivegame ODI series at Dharamsala yesterday.

Having been sent in on one of cricket’s most picturesque grounds, New Zealand’s batsmen let the team down again, save opener Tom Latham, as they were dismissed for 190.

India marched to an easy sixwicket win, achieved in the 34th over with a whopping 101 balls to spare, finishing on 194 for four.

The win was ensured by India’s batting hero Virat Kohli, who finished unbeaten on 84 off 81 balls.

There was a wicket apiece for Doug Bracewell, Jimmy Neesham and Ish Sodhi, but the bowlers had no chance after another woeful batting effort in perfectly comfortable batting conditions.

That follows a familiar trend from the test series, which New Zealand lost 3-0, and which featured repeat failures by the batting collective.

New Zealand had pulled off a fine win over Australia on the ground in the world T20 earlier this year, prospering by putting a squeeze on the Aussie batsmen in holding conditions.

They had no excuse this time, save the odd ball holding up.

The innings began badly and at 65 for seven were in a desperate situation, facing the embarrassment of being dismissed for double figures for what would have been the seventh occasion in ODIs. However Latham, who finished unbeaten on 79 off 98 balls, found support from Tim Southee, who struck a breezy 55 off 45 balls in a 71-run stand off 58 balls.

The Canterbury lefthander went on to become the first New Zealander to carry his bat through a complete ODI innings.

It is also the ninth occasion the feat has been achieved.

Masters in the medals Ashburton masters swimmers have returned from the South Island Masters Games in Timaru with an impressive medal haul. Helen Argyle won gold in the 50m freestyle, gold in the 100m freestyle and silver in the 50m backstroke while Alison Fleming took out four gold medals.

Fleming claimed the top podium spot in the 400m freestyle, 50m backstroke, 100m mixed medley, 100 metre freestyle. Meanwhile masters newcomer Manette Boucher was also in fine form to win a gold in the 50m backstroke and silver in the 50m breast stroke.

Adams stars for Thunder

Tom Latham The hope was that New Zealand, rated among the best ODI teams in the game, would discover their batting game with the change of format.

“Losing wickets at the other end dictated the way I had to play,” Latham said.

“I couldn’t be as free as I wanted to throughout the middle.

“That’s the reason for batting the way I did.

“If we were only a couple (of wickets) down then obviously I’d play a different way.

“You adapt to playing different ways depending on the situation.”

Latham acknowledged New Zealand had been “well under par” in the match.

“We’ll beat most teams in the world if we play well.

“We haven’t had the results we want on this tour but there’s still four massive games to come.

“We didn’t adapt quickly enough but hopefully we’ll be better for the hitout.

“Hopefully we can change a few things in the next couple of days and hit the ground running (in Delhi on Thursday).”

Cheika confident Defiant Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has declared “bring it on,” as his side looks to break a 15-year, 19-Test winless streak against the All Blacks in New Zealand. While most focus has been on Australia’s 30-year drought against the world champions at Eden Park, the venue for Saturday’s Test, the reality is the Wallabies haven’t beaten them anywhere in New Zealand since 2001. And the All Blacks will be further motivated by the chance to break the world record for the most consecutive Test wins with an 18th straight victory.

Lolohea scrap looms Kieran Foran’s pending NRL return for the Warriors could ultimately deliver St George Illawarra a bolt of good fortune. Excitement machine Tui Lolohea has vowed he wants to prove himself at five-eighth next year. And if he can’t do it at the Warriors, the flying Kiwi would be prepared to move to a rival club. For now Lolohea is waiting patiently. But if Foran gets the green light, Lolohea’s agent said all bets were off.

Girl power to the fore at Wakanui Doreen Lembke took fifth and was followed by Brett McGinity in sixth place – the first man home.

Scratch rider Bailey O’Donnell carried on his great form from the recent junior Tour of Southland claiming fastest time honours, riding the course in 49.45secs.

Darrell Kircher and Steve Hands took second and third time.

The juniors and division two contested a 16km handicap.

Scratch marker Abe O’Donnell had a day to remember, securing the victory and taking fastest time honours covering the distance in 26.10secs.

Maddie Lowry charged into second place with Rosie Gray

right on her tail in third position.

Meanwhile Noah Hollamby backed up last week’s win with a solid fourth place.

Ethan Titheridge’s strong start to the season continued securing fifth and third fastest time with Timaru visitor Mitchell Fitsimmons taking second time.

Beth Begg dug deep to take division two honours from Keryn O’Donnell and Jacquie Fitzsimmons while Lily Davidson rode a super race to win the junior development 8km, holding out a fast finishing Jack Templeton.

Next week the club will contest a 45km handicap event on the Dawson Road block.

Six of the top seven positions were filled by the ladies, an even more impressive effort when you take into account that over 60 riders went to the start line.

Kelly Dixon had the final say in the sprint to the finish to claim victory and major spoils from Michelle Knight, who put up a spirited battle to secure second place.

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You let nothing stop you from learning – everyone loves this about you, how you’re constantly evolving, stretching and growing into a person of your own creation.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You are so sensitive these days. Don’t direct your sensitivity inward; it will be too difficult. Instead, observe art, listen to poetry – you’ll understand it in a way you never did before.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): What happens organically is working so great for you: You’re doing fine. This will give you pause as you try to muddle through some plans that focus you, whether or not you follow them.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Only a fool speaks every thought. After all, many of the thoughts float into your mind from friends, media and elsewhere. All must be filtered through that wonderful system of yours.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): By showing up, on time, with a good attitude and a fair amount of energy to burn, you’ll earn the trust of someone who does not give such things very often.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): If you tell yourself what you’re not going to do, you’ll wind up doing that thing. Who is to blame? There’s a universal law here about attracting what you focus on, for better or for worse.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It’s an easygoing day, partially due to your accepting mood. Roll with whatever comes, and you’re likely to turn it into something interesting, lucrative and memorable.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): When your emotional needs are met, the physical needs don’t seem as important. Neither do the other needs. So how can you make yourself happier on a daily basis?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll meet individuals who might have you feeling stumped for conversation. No worries. Start with an open-ended question with the word “what” to get the whole thing rolling.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Your perspective is about to shift big-time. What was uncomfortable will become bearable when you adjust your mind and get more experience.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): When you commit to the task of making your life better, sometimes this entails checking yourself by taking a few steps back to see if you accidentally dropped your happiness back there.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re a serious powerhouse today. You have the same 24 hours in a day that everyone else has. But what you do with it makes everyone think you magically were given at least 36.

Sport Sagan retains title Slovakia’s Peter Sagan has held off Britain’s Mark Cavendish in a frantic finale to retain the road race title at the cycling world championships in Doha yesterday. Sagan triumphed at the end of the 257.3km race narrowly in front of Cavendish with Tom Boonen of Belgium claiming third in a sprint finish. Australia’s Michael Matthews finished an agonising fourth. “I am still in shock,” Sagan said straight after his victory, achieved under a scorching sun.

Trophy still attainable

Currie on the charge Five years into his career as a professional athlete, Braden Currie has consolidated his learnings to give himself the ultimate chance of becoming the XTERRA World Champion at the Hawaii-based event this Sunday.

A month ago Currie moved to Lake Tahoe, California, with his family for a four-week, dedicated XTERRA preparation block, because of the altitude and specific resources and training opportunities available in the area.

“The real beauty of coming to this place is that Tahoe is already at 1800m altitude and many of my bike sessions will see me do another 1000m of climbing on single track,” he said.

Competing for the fourth

time in the XTERRA World Championships, Currie has had a perfect build-up period for the biggest race of his career.

His preparation has been focused on finding extra gains in areas such as biomechanics, nutrition, heat and altitude adaptation and recovery.

Two factors that have made a positive impact on the 30-yearold this year have been taking on new Kiwi coach Bevan McKinnon and also taking a fiveweek break.

“Bevan has definitely helped me find some more consistency with my performance,” he said.

“I spent some time with him at the AUT Millennium Sports and Performance Clinic lab, testing things like my biomechanics, metabolic rate and VO2.

Wozniacki adds yet another title P16

“My training is designed around the learnings from these results.”

Currie’s progression was apparent last month, when he came within a photo finish of beating his fiercest rival, current XTERRA World Champion, Josiah Middaugh, in the Pan America Championships in Utah.

It strengthened Currie’s belief that he has what it takes to topple the reigning champion in Hawaii.

While he rates Colorado’s Middaugh and three-time XTERRA World Champion Spaniard Ruben Ruzafa as obvious front-runners, there are some top athletes, like German long-distance triathlete Sebastian Kienle, who has the ability to mix things up at the event.

“The beauty of racing XTERRA is it’s such an honest race,” he said.

“It’s not so much about tactics but more about how hard you can push yourself.”

After the 1.5km rough water swim, he expects there to be a pack of strong riders all pushing each other to the limit over the 32km mountain bike ride.

Currie’s running has returned to its trademark ferocious pace after his calf injury has healed and he is confident he can hunt down anyone who might be ahead of him over the 10.5km trail run.

“Even though winning the XTERRA Worlds is one of my biggest career goals, I still just can’t wait to be racing,” he said.

“It’s going to be tough, but lucky I like it that way.”

For the Silver Ferns, there is freedom to be had in surrendering the outcome of the Constellation Cup. While the Ferns still have a chance to level the series in the final test in Invercargill on Thursday, they will need to pull off a miraculous result to get their hands on the trophy for just the second time. New Zealand would need to win the final test by around 25 goals to wrest the trophy away from Australia. The scoreline on Thursday night does not matter so much to Ferns skipper Katrina Grant.

She just wants to make sure the Ferns are on the right side of it.

Coach dies in hotel Munster head coach Anthony Foley died yesterday at the rugby team’s hotel in Paris. He was 42. No further details were given by Ireland’s Rugby Federation. “It is with deep regret that the Irish Rugby Union and Munster Rugby advise of the passing overnight of Munster head coach Anthony Foley,” the statement said. “Munster management are liaising directly with Anthony Foley’s family and will provide them with any assistance required.” Capped 62 times, Foley was a former captain of Munster.
