Local farmers breach their water consents

Wall our golden girl P24

A significant number of Mid Canterbury farmers breached the conditions of their water consents during last year’s drought, according to fresh figures released by Environment Canterbury (ECan).

The compliance monitoring annual report for the 2014-15 year shows nearly one in five of those with consents to take water either exceeded their allocation or took water while restrictions were in place.

Those with groundwater consents had the highest rates of non-compliance, with surface water consents a close second.

Faulty water meters or failing to sub-

mit measurement data also resulted in a number of non-compliance notifications.

Ashburton, along with Hurunui and parts of South Canterbury, were highlighted as problem areas for irrigation non-compliance.

In the Ashburton water management zone 900 of almost 4000 consents were monitored in the year to June 30, 2015 and 462 site visits were made.

In total 305 complaints were investigated, with complaints about water usage up 260 per cent on the previous year. Stock in waterways along with over application and poor effluent management were also well up on the 2013-14 summary.

Over the 2014-15 year ECan issued 24

written warnings, eight abatement notices and nine infringement notices in Mid Canterbury. Other non-compliances have been resolved by increased site visits, education and advice.

Across Canterbury, ECan issued 81 abatement notices and 36 infringement notices, resulting in fines totalling $50,000.

ECan compliance and monitoring manager Marty Mortiaux said water extraction consents would remain under the spotlight this season.

“Our aim is to achieve a high level of voluntary compliance by working with individuals and the community, but if that is unsuccessful we have tools to make sure rules are complied with,” Mr Mortiaux said.

■ METHVEN SHOW

Perfect weather pulls the crowds

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Thousands flocked to the Methven A&P Show as temperatures rose to 25 degrees in the town on Saturday.

A northwest wind was enough to cool people down out in the sun, but not enough to be a nuisance, and the day was one president Andrew Currie was thrilled with.

Mr Currie said it had been fantastic to see so many people from throughout Mid Canterbury and further afield at the show. Gate takings were slightly up, by about $2000, on last year.

He named the weather as a highlight of the day, as well as a new attraction many had commented on, the All Star Pride cheer leaders from Christchurch.

Other entertainers throughout the day added to the performance schedule, and attractions included the world’s biggest capacity combine

harvester. There were many comments on the new home industries pavilion concrete floor; it set the stage perfectly for a high number of quality entries in that area.

There had been a record number of sites in the trade space, where a new layout proved popular, complemented by a working vintage machinery display nearby.

“That area was just full to the rodeo bank,” Mr Currie said.

The gift calf auction was a success, with $25,000 raised.

The animal tent remained as popular as ever with a large range of creatures, including baby water buffalo.

A treasure hunt competition liftout in the catalogue, which saw participants looking for real-life items around the showgrounds, got visitors moving around the showgrounds, ensuring they got to visit each section.

Woodchopping remained one of the main attractions at the Methven A&P Show on Saturday.

■ REVINGTONS HOTEL

New faces at Revies’ future uncertain Ashburton station Revingtons Hotel is being stripped of its chattels, seven months after the beer taps ran dry at Greymouth’s one-time grand hotel.

However, uncertainty swirls around the future of the landmark pub, where Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip bedded down during the 1954 Coronation Tour. It is for sale as-is.

As the chattels are removed, rumours are rife that the 1930s-era building is going to be demolished.

The hotel is owned by Dale Vercoe, of Motueka, and his son John confirmed that they had interested parties from Nelson and Christchurch looking at buying the land and building.

However, the Vercoes were unaware of demolition plans or what any new owners planned to do with it.

John Vercoe said the business would not be reopening in the “foreseeable future” while his father worked through lease issues with the lawyers.

The chances of Revingtons reopening again as a hotel were lengthened when former lessee Therese Gibbens confirmed that chattels from inside the hotel are being sold off.

“The chattels are ours. We sold the business as a going concern, but left some money in the business to allow Monav Soni (who purchased the hotel in 2012) to take it over,” Mrs Gibbens said.

“However, the business failed and we are removing and selling the chattels from the building in an attempt to retrieve the money we are owed.”

Revingtons has been marred with closure problems since June 2015, when the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority forced it to close for two weeks because of liquor licence breaches.

At the time, police said they had visited the hotel eight times since May 2014 and as well as having to break up melees, they found patrons so drunk they were vomiting, had urinated on themselves or could not even stand up.

After months of struggling to attract new staff, the Ashburton Police Station is about to get an influx of new faces.

A family violence position - vacant since the departure of sergeant Jim Sole back to Christchurch - has been filled and that person is due to start on March 29, and she’ll be quickly followed by one of two new frontline uniformed police officers.

The first is a current police officer moving to the area from the North Island, while the second – due to start later this year – is a new recruit who was picked up as part of a police initiative to find potential cops locally, and

send them off to police college to train. That recruit will head to police college shortly.

In July, a new detective will also join the Ashburton CIB, and a new non-sworn appointment has also been made, with a new typist about to start.

Ashburton Police senior sergeant Scott Banfield – who has been the officer in charge of the Ashburton station for a couple of years - said it had been a struggle to attract new staff to the area for some time.

But once the two new uniformed officers, the family violence officer and the detective start, all positions should be filled at the Ashburton station.

In brief

Rules needed to reduce risk

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s principal is calling on the Ministry of Education to provide guidelines to reduce the risk of sexual offenders being employed in schools.

Grant McMillan was commenting following high profile sexual offence cases in the media, such as that relating to Christchurch school caretaker Robert Burrett.

Mr Burrett had a string of complaints about improper behaviour stretching back 30 years, but was able to lure 12 girls into an underground shed and rape

and abuse them.

Mr McMillan said individual school boards were responsible for employing staff. While police checks were a requisite part of the appointment process, other than that there was a lack of centrally organised procedures. Nationally, it was a loose legislative environment, which was putting students at risk.

“No-one is really responsible for the quality of the employees, and that’s a real weakness in our system,” Mr McMillan said.

Ashburton College itself was continually trying to improve

its systems and make sure the wrong people did not get into the school environment. It had tightened up on some procedures following cases at the school.

Mr McMillan said following a case in recent years, it had sought information on what the latest advice on electronic contact with students was, and revised its policies around that. Sadly it came back to individual schools to undertake such changes.

The new Vulnerable Children’s Act would see some requirements for schools to meet, however, there was a lack of guidance

on how schools should pick this up. A body such as the Ministry of Education or Education Review Office publishing a current gold standard would be extremely helpful, Mr McMillan said.

In 2010 an Ashburton College teacher was dismissed and had their teaching certificate suspended for 12 months after sending inappropriate text messages to a pupil. In 2013, the school asked the New Zealand Teachers’ Council to take action over one of its former teachers after he resigned following complaints from families.

Musicians join forces

Officers assaulted Two police officers were assaulted while carrying out a routine stop in North Canterbury yesterday. The officers had stopped three vehicles on State Highway 1, in the small town of Cheviot. Police said three men got out and began assaulting them. One of the officers received minor facial injuries as a result.

Members of the local Fire Service were called to the scene at about 2.30pm to offer support as more police staff made their way to the site. Three men have been arrested and will appear in the Christchurch District Court.

Fatal collision A person died after a car and minibus collided south of Taupo yesterday. Senior Sergeant Denton Grimes said the accident happened on State Highway One at Halletts Bay, South of Taupo, at about 4pm.

“The driver of one of the vehicles has died at the scene and two other persons have been transported to Taupo Hospital with moderate injuries.” Mr Grimes said the Police Serious Crash Unit was investigating.

Teen driver dies

A long-held tradition of the annual Country High Schools Music Festival returned on Friday evening.

Mount Hutt College had the privilege of hosting the event, the first after a break of five years due to turnover of personnel.

About 125 music students from the college

joined with their compatriots from Ashburton College, Lincoln High School, Ellesmere College and Rangiora High School to stage a concert.

Mount Hutt head of department music Hugo Zanker said four ensembles performed as part of the event, including a choir, junior

band, senior band and string orchestra.

“It was fantastic for all of the rural schools to come together to celebrate the arts and to establish a larger community,” Mr Zanker said.

A teenager who suffered a serious head injury after a car rolled on a South Island road yesterday morning has died of his injuries.

The 17-year-old from the Mataura area was injured on River Rd, between Gore and Mataura, shortly after midnight Saturday.

The Toyota Surf he was driving reportedly lost control, flipped and left him trapped inside the vehicle.

He was rushed to hospital with a serious head injury. Four other passengers escaped with minor injuries. The teen died as a result of his injuries, police said. - NZME

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

The rising cost of dying If you want to bag a bargain that will remain yours beyond the term of your natural life, head out to the Ashburton cemetery and buy yourself a burial plot.

It might be a macabre kind of investment but that investment in your future is never going to get cheaper, with the Ashburton District Council planning to increase the cost of dying.

■ NZ FLAG

Buying a burial plot at the Ashburton cemetery currently comes with a $1100 price tag; from July 1 the price is likely to rise to $1250.

The new price, however, still puts Ashburton’s burial plot costs on par or below the fee charged in neighouring councils, Selwyn and Timaru.

Before setting the new fees,

Ashburton District Council open spaces manager David Askin ran an eye over what his neighbours were doing and found that currently it was cheaper to buy a plot in Ashburton and that burial fees were also cheaper – for now.

Burial costs, however, are set to rise, up from $920 to $1120.

From July 1 a body burial will now come with a minimum

price tag of $2370.

If the interment takes place after 4.30pm, it incurs a $215 fee.

If the burial occurs with less than eight hours’ notice a fee of $205 is charged.

A weekend burial will add $215 to the bill if it occurs before 1pm and after that time an additional $630 is charged.

■ RACE RELATIONS DAY

Young Kiwis leading opposition to change of NZ flag Young New Zealanders are leading the opposition to a change of national flag, New Zealand First leader Winston Peter says.

In a speech to the Returned and Services Association (RSA) in Manurewa yesterday afternoon, Mr Peters said one of the heartening features of the debate on New Zealand’s flag had been the support for the existing design by the younger generation.

“It is notable that these young people seem to have more respect for our history and past than some in older generations,” he said.

A poll released by UMR Research on Thursday showed that 70 per cent of 18 to 29-year-olds preferred the current flag to the alternative flag, which features a silver fern.

That compared to 58 per cent of 30 to 44-year-olds, 53 per cent for 45 to 59-year-olds and 53 per cent for people older than 60.

Mr Peters’ speech centred on the sacrifice of young New Zealanders in World War One and reiterated his party’s staunch opposition to a change of flag.

“To throw out our current flag would be abandoning those young people who died for us and let’s remember, they did not die serving under a flag that, sadly, so many foreigners think looks like a white feather on a faded washed out blue.”

The second flag referendum finishes on Thursday, when a preliminary result will be announced.

The Electoral Commission has so far received 1.7 million voting papers, or 54 per cent of the voting population.

This was already more than the first referendum, in which 1.55 million people voted.

In brief Grass fire Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade members extinguished a grass fire near Southbridge on Saturday.

They were called to the blaze at about 11.35am. Deputy chief fire officer Tyrone Burrowes said the blaze, across an area about 200 by 50 metres, was caused by a suspected power line fault.

Members waited at the scene for electricity staff to arrive after extinguishing the fire.

Burwood nearly ready Burwood Hospital’s new facilities will be ready to roll for Ashburton patients in just under three months. The upgrade of the hospital is part of the Government’s $650 million plan to develop both Burwood and Christchurch hospitals. The Burwood facilities, set to be fully operational by June 13, will see over 32,500m2 of new ward blocks for medical, mental health and rehabilitation services for older people. It will also encompass outpatient and reception areas, radiology and pharmacy zones and will link to the current facilities with a new entrance off Burwood Road.

Kiwis escape attack Authorities have confirmed no Kiwis were killed or injured in a suicide bomb attack in the Turkish city of Istanbul yesterday. Five people died, including the bomber, and more than 30 were injured in the blast near a government building in a busy shopping area of the city. Turkish media reported the bystanders killed were three Israelis and an Iranian. A Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman confirmed yesterday no Kiwis were among the casualties.

Cultures come together to celebrate A diversity of cultures was represented at Race Relations Day celebrations at the Ashburton Domain on Friday night. Piper Ralph Tompsett looked the part when it came to acknowledging Mid Canterbury’s Scottish heritage, much to the enjoyment of three-yearold Ethan Kingan and five-year-old twins Kehinde and Taiwo George. In an effort to celebrate diversity and break down barriers, the Newcomers’ Network, in conjunction with the Youth Council, hosts the free event annually, providing entertainment and food.

■ RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Forest and Bird Ashburton has joined opposition to proposed changes to the Resource Management Act (RMA).

President Edith Smith said she was concerned local advocacy groups would lose the opportunity to be notified of and heard on consent applications relating to development.

“It is the RMA that allows our opinion to be heard. It’s important we do (have input), because we have so little of our natural indigenous vegetation left,” Mrs Smith said.

The changes, being proposed under the Resource Legislation

Amendment Bill, would water down the opportunity for such groups, and they might only hear of development proposals in the case of officially notified consents.

She gave the example of the Ashburton Community Water Trust and Electricity Ashburton some years ago wanting to install an irrigation canal.

Because Forest and Bird were kept in the picture, branch members became aware of an important stand of native vegetation which would have been affected by the project.

Forest and Bird was subsequently able to draw attention to the issue, resulting in stricter

A New Zealand soldier who died in Jordan last week has been named as Sergeant Paul Andrew Hartley. Sergeant Hartley, 30, from Auckland, died in a non-combat incident in the Middle Eastern country on Thursday, the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) said. “Plans are under way to repatriate Sergeant Hartley so he can be reunited with his family,” the NZDF said in a statement released yesterday.

conditions being put in place had the development proceeded.

Environment Commissioner Dr Jan Wright advised Parliament last week that the proposed amendments included the Minister for the Environment being able to shut out certain voices and make changes to council plans.

While making planning processes faster and simpler in some situations was a “good thing”, the bill went too far and she has made six recommendations on the bill.

“The powers granted to the minister are too wide-ranging,” Dr Wright said.

A man is in serious condition after being struck by a vehicle in Auckland yesterday. The pedestrian was taken to Auckland City Hospital after being hit on New North Road in Mt Albert about 12.40pm, a St John spokeswoman said. Earlier yesterday, a female pedestrian was hit by a truck on Grey’s Avenue in Auckland’s CBD. The woman, aged in her 40s, was walking her dog at 8.46am when she was hit by the truck which was believed to have been reversing, police said.

■ TRUSTPOWER NATIONAL COMMUNITY AWARDS

Japanese culture at Borough

BY RUBY HARFIELD

RUBY.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton Borough School will be able to learn more about Japanese culture over the next two weeks with the arrival of some international visitors.

The school is hosting a group of about 10 Japanese students, aged 12 to 15, and two teachers who arrived yesterday.

Principal Sam Winterbourn said the school has had students from Thailand, Hong Kong and Japan in the past and hopes to expand on this.

Having international students visit the school is a great opportunity for students to learn about other cultures and gain more of an understanding of the world, he said.

“I think that it brings the world to them really.”

The international students also benefit from the trip because of the English language skills they build.

The students will stay with school families and will get to experience different parts of the district including a day at the Rakaia Gorge and Russell Langdon’s wetland reserve.

“They will take the opportunity to explore Ashburton.”

The group will spend mornings learning English and afternoons fully immersed in classes with their buddies. Students from the same school also came two years ago. The school will also be hosting a group from China in the middle of this year.

Fighting for love on the small screen Susan Sandys

SENIOR REPORTER

M

indless, beyond disgraceful, demeaning to women, insulting to the intelligence of a nation. The Bachelor New Zealand has been called all these things and more.

Yet, people continue to watch.

Just what is it that draws people in? For me, it’s the typical reality-TV voyeurism of seeing relationships among a group of people play out. Friends and foes are formed, personality traits are brought to the surface. The people on the screen become real to you, and as a viewer you can also draw parallels between personality types and relationship situations, and the people you encounter in real life.

The Bachelor New Zealand also has the timeless theme of love and romance as its backdrop, featuring a nice mansion, beautiful clothes and, thanks to a jewellery sponsorship, lots of pretty sparkly stuff. There is enchantment, there is glamour, there is escapism.

Twenty-three women vie for the love of one man, though. He is the only man on offer to a large group of single women, and he has all the choice to give whomever he wishes the flick. Really, is he that adorable? Maybe not.

And the fact some of the women in the past have not accepted the rose the bachelor has offered, meaning they have made the choice that he is not right for them, does not seem to make up for the overall power imbalance the show has at the heart of its format.

Unfortunately in New Zealand we are now into our second season of The Bachelor, without any The Bachelorette season in between to balance the programming schedule, and show that men can be just as doe-eyed about a pretty lady as women can be about a handsome gentleman.

In America, the two shows alternate. One lucky reject from The Bachelor is chosen to be The Bachelorette, and another captivating season unfolds, but this time with a beautiful woman in the power seat, and lots of men vying for her affections.

Considering how offended some people get by The Bachelor, it’s surprising Kiwi television producers have not tried to be more responsible in their programming and followed America’s lead in this respect.

Policies to tackle youth crime have reduced the number of young people appearing in court, says Amy Adams.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

DLSOs are initiated with a warning letter giving people 14 days’ notice to either pay up or set up a payment plan.

Those notified get one more reminder, and if they ignore that, a bailiff is sent to serve the suspension, and take their driver’s licence. Licences remain suspended until the fine is paid in full, or payment arrangements are in place.

The threat of losing the right to drive has seen an extra $43.5 million in unpaid fines being paid in the last two years. This initiative

has been highly successful in getting those who were deliberately avoiding or refusing to pay their fines to contact the district courts to arrange payment.

Over the two years to January 30, 2016, some 30,000 warning letters have been sent out, resulting in almost 26,000 people paying their fines or making payments towards them through a payment plan.

While the aim is to collect fines rather than take away people’s licences, some 400 licences have been suspended over the last

Today’s online poll question Q: Should New Zealand follow the UK’s lead and introduce a tax on sugary drinks?

YOUR MP - WORKING FOR YOU

olicies to tackle youth crime are succeeding with the number of children and young people appearing in New Zealand’s courts dropping by more than 60 per cent since 2007/8.

In the 2007/08 financial year, 4998 children and young people (10 to 16-year-olds) appeared in youth courts. By the 2014/15 financial year, this had dropped by almost 61 per cent to 1959.

The Government remains committed to reducing youth crime.

Our approach has always been to ensure that whenever a child or young person gets into difficulty that we work with them, their family and whanau to ensure behaviour doesn’t escalate into more serious offending.

The vast majority of children and young people who are stopped by the Police are supported by Youth Aid officers, Family Group Conferences and other means designed to prevent them from offending again.

The Youth Crime Action Plan underpins a concerted effort to address offending by children and young people. The plan is a 10-year strategy to reduce crime committed by young people and help those who do offend to turn their lives around.

Government agencies are working with communities in more than 30 locations to develop and implement local plans to create solutions to their youth offending problems. The plan is about empowering local communities, youth services and voluntary agencies that are working with young people.

Meanwhile, the 2011 Courts and Criminal Matters Bill which gave the Ministry of Justice wider powers to collect fines – including the ability to issue Driver Licence Stop Orders (DLSOs) is also yielding positive results.

A DLSO can be imposed on anyone who fails to pay trafficrelated fines imposed by a court, police or local government authority – or reparations imposed by a court for traffic-related offences.

two years and about 100 of those suspensions are still in place.

Stop Orders are proving an effective enforcement tool for fines and reparation.

In addition, fines can be reported to credit agencies, defaulters can be arrested if trying to travel overseas, and the district courts have full enforcement powers to ensure people pay their fines.

It is encouraging that the total fines balance now owing is $585 million, down from over $800 million in 2009.

■ TURKEY

Tourists die in bomb attack A suicide attack on Istanbul’s main pedestrian shopping street Saturday killed five people, including two dual nationality Israeli-Americans and one Iranian citizen, and wounded several dozen others, in the sixth suicide bombing in Turkey in the past year.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu issued a statement saying there were several foreigners among the victims.

“Turkey has always said that terrorism has no religion, no language and no race and that terrorism has to be condemned no matter who the perpetrators are,” he said. “This sad event has shown once again how right our position is.”

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but suspicion fell on the Islamic State group and on Kurdish militants who have claimed two recent attacks in the capital, Ankara. DNA samples were taken from family members of two possible Islamic State militants who could be the bomber, the private Turkish Dogan news agency reported.

The explosion ripped through Istiklal Street, a popular destination for tourists and locals in a central neighborhood that is home to cafes, restaurants, foreign consulates and a government office. Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin said there were five fatalities and that investigations were still under way. An interior ministry official said the death toll included the suicide bomber.

Police swiftly sealed off the area as ambulances and a forensic team rushed to the scene after the bombing about 11 a.m.

Normally packed cafes were either closed or virtually empty, with business owners making frantic calls to loved ones to as-

Plans are being drawn up for a memorial garden to commemorate the life of Princess Diana on the 20th anniversary of her death, Kensington Palace has confirmed. Historic Royal Palaces, the charity responsible for overseeing the plans, recently advertised for a new gardener to help with the project, which is expected to be completed before the anniversary on August 31, 2017. Diana, who died in a car accident in a Paris underpass with her partner Dodi Fayed, would have been 56 if she had survived the crash in 1997. The garden, which is in the “very early stages of development”, will become the fourth London memorial to pay tribute to Diana if it reaches completion, joining the Diana Memorial Playground at Kensington Palace, the Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park, and the Diana Memorial Walk at St James’ Palace.

sure them of their safety. Rattled tourists wondered where to go.

“It was one loud explosion,” said Muhammed Fatur, a Syrian who works at a butcher shop near the scene of the explosion. “Police came to the scene and sealed off the area.” The site remained off limits until shortly after sundown when tentative pedestrians and shopkeepers returned to inspect the damage.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Net-

anyahu confirmed that at least two of the victims were Israelis. An Israeli diplomat in Istanbul said the two also held American citizenship.

“We can sadly confirm that two Israeli civilians were killed and we might have a third fatality,” he said.

Israel was co-operating with other intelligence agencies to determine whether the attack was directed at Israelis specifically.

Paris attacker planned suicide exit at game Alleged Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam planned to commit a suicide bombing at the French-German football game being played in Stade de France stadium on November 13 before he backed down, France’s state prosecutor says.

Abdeslam told Belgian investigators about the plan after he was apprehended in the Molenbeek neighbourhood of Brussels at the weekend, French prosecutor Francois Molins said.

The 26-year-old has already admitted to being in Paris on November 13, 2015, the

Diana memorial garden

night of the co-ordinated bombings and gun attacks on restaurants, bars, the Stade de France stadium and the Bataclan concert hall that left 130 people dead, according to a Belga news agency report citing his lawyer Sven Mary.

Abdeslam, who became one of Europe’s most wanted criminals in the wake of the attacks, has been charged with “participating in terrorist murder” and taking part in the activities of a terrorist organisation, according to a statement from the Belgian Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office.

A total of five people were taken into custody in Friday’s raids, including members of the family that was hosting Abdeslam in Molenbeek, where the Frenchman grew up and lived before the November attacks.

Belgian prosecutors said authorities have detained another man who faces the same charges as Abdeslam.

A third man stands accused of hiding Abdeslam and his alleged accomplice and is thought to have links to a terrorist organisation.

In brief Chiefs win a thriller A couple of guidelines can be gleaned from the Jaguares’ first home match in Super Rugby. First, the Argentinian team will be very tough to beat at their Estadio Jose Amalfitani base. And second, the Chiefs will be very tough to beat anywhere. Dave Rennie’s men yesterday overcame a decent dose of adversity to upset the Jaguares’ big day, storming back to the top of the New Zealand conference with a rousing 30-26 win. Brad Weber scored a brilliant 79th-minute try after the Jaguares had seized a late lead with an even more spectacular effort, completing a game that rivalled any New Zealand derby for intensity and ability on show. - NZME

Rocky start for Hampstead

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Hampstead’s third pre-season outing was called off in the 45th minute on Saturday after Fale

Aumalaga sustained a serious knee injury.

Hampstead were hosting Temuka and trailed 24-3 five minutes in to the second half when

Aumalaga dislocated his knee in a hefty collision.

Coach Regan Broker said it is likely to be the end of the blindside flanker’s season.

Hampstead will kick off their 2016 Combined Country Competition campaign on Thursday when they travel to take on the boys from Lincoln.

Jones’ England impact there to see By duncan Bech Eddie Jones may skilfully deflect attention away from his role in guiding England to a first grand slam since 2003, but the Australian’s impact on a squad that was falling short of their potential is hard to overstate.

Failing to progress from the group stage of the World Cup marked the nadir of the previous regime, a late collapse against Wales and record defeat to Australia ensuring the hosts’ worst nightmare came to pass.

Four successive runners-up

finishes in the Six Nations tournament gave Stuart Lancaster, Jones’ predecessor, no ammunition with which to argue his case to his Twickenham paymasters and his departure inevitably followed.

Into the void stepped Jones, the 56-year-old whose career had been revitalised by Japan’s outstanding performance at the World Cup topped by a famous victory over South Africa in the biggest upset the sport has witnessed.

The former Wallabies coach inherited an England squad

lacking in confidence and one that had been heavily criticised in the wake of their World Cup debacle.

Fast forward five months and a group full of familiar faces the team that toppled Wales on Saturday contained 13 survivors from the 23 who fell to the same opponents in September - have secured only the nation’s 13th grand slam.

Ask Jones for an insight into how he has instigated such a major turnaround and he will place the focus firmly back on to the players.

“It’s not me who is changing the team - it’s the players who are changing it.

“They are changing themselves,” Jones said.

“All I’m doing is building a house for them to operate in and they’re doing that well.”

It is hard to disagree with the argument that the fixture list and standard of opposition in a poor Championship has been kind to Jones, but to win a grand slam title in his first campaign at the helm is a remarkable achievement that hints at a successful four years ahead.

Tana Umaga has defended overruling the Blues players in the disappointing draw with the Reds in Brisbane. Trailing by three points, Blues coach Umaga ordered Ihaia West to kick a simple penalty on fulltime rather than go for a matchwinning try. It meant the Blues avoided a third consecutive defeat but the players clearly wanted to go for a lineout drive and bid for victory against the Reds, one of the worst-rated teams in the competition. Under a 2016 rule change, a lineout can be set up after the final hooter has sounded. Umaga said he thought it better to definitely come away with some points.

Rebels run over Wolves Melbourne Rebels flanker Sean McMahon has given Wallabies coach Michael Cheika another reminder of his Test credentials with a starring performance in Saturday’s big win over the Sunwolves.

McMahon steered the team to a 35-9 bonus point victory over the expansion club in Tokyo - the Rebels’ third win in four games - to continue their best ever start to a season. The 21-year-old delivered a rousing performance with a gamehigh 15 runs for 104 metres including scoring their fourth try. - AAP

First loss for Brumbies Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham has disputed the crucial dismissal of hooker Josh Mann-Rea after his side’s unbeaten Super Rugby record was wrecked by a 31-11 loss to the Stormers in Cape Town. The Stormers scored three tries to one in the match yesterday, though two of their five-pointers came in the last five minutes. The Brumbies played the last 16 minutes with 14 men after reserve hooker MannRea was sent off for punching front-rower Oliver Kebble.

Larkham’s side only trailed 16-11 at the time, but the penalty awarded for Mann-Rea’s indiscretion was kicked to give the home team a buffer of more than a converted try. The Brumbies created few scoring opportunities apart from winger Henry Speight’s try. - AAP

Crusaders crush Kings

By GreGor Paul The honeymoon of sorts the new Super Rugby format was enjoying may now be over.

The early rounds threw up a raft of local New Zealand derbies and all that fretting about the expansion looked misplaced.

But not so much now - certainly not in Christchurch on Saturday night where the Crusaders had the game against the Kings in the bag after 25 minutes.

Suspense in this one was nil.

The possibility of it ever being anything other than a total drilling by the home side was alive for about five minutes, and even then it wasn’t really alive.

The Kings pulled off an early intercept that put them 10-0 in front.

If there was a flicker of hope they’d been assessed wrongly, and that they were actually some sort of contender, it was snuffed out in the next 10 minutes.

That’s how long it took for the Crusaders to take back ownership of the game and move their mindset towards the serious business of seeing just how much damage they could inflict, and that damage finished with a 5724 scoreline.

It was too easy for them to make inroads through the middle of the field.

The Kings came up together but not with enough speed or venom and their tackling didn’t have the aggression or timing to prevent the big men such as Sam Whitelock, Jordan Taufua and Luke Romano from offloading out of the contact.

Nemani Nadolo was again a powerhouse for the Crusaders.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

Jimmy Tupou was equally strong on the charge and these four were able to build momentum around the fringes and in the midfield.

It was too much for the Kings.

They didn’t really know how

to defend when the Crusaders poured through that area and, to be fair, plenty of better teams would have struggled.

There was a touch of class about some of the Crusaders’ attacking play.

Their long passing was superb across the backline - it was classic execution - then there was the timing and angles of the support runners.

Whenever a half-break was made, there would be red jerseys everywhere and the ball-carrier mostly made a smart decision.

Both David Havili and Kieron Fonotia ran straight and it made all the difference, leaving space for the outsides who held their depth and ran hard at a broken line.

Nemani Nadolo was the usual handful and, really, the only thing that saved the Kings was the predictable volume of subs the Crusaders made early in the second half.

Understandably, Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder wanted to give everyone a half-decent run.

That meant the Crusaders lost some of their flow and dominance and had to spend periods defending without the cohesion and understanding being quite what they would have wanted.

That was a lifeline the Kings grabbed, scoring two tries in the middle of the half and creating the impression they weren’t as bad as all that. But they were.

Don’t be fooled and Super Rugby is starting to reveal its true colours now that the stronger teams in the competition are being let loose against the strugglers.

Crusaders 57 (Nadolo 2, McNichol, Funnell, R. Mo’unga, M. Drummond, J. Macilai, P. Samu tries; R. Mo’unga 4 cons, pen; B. Volavola 3 cons) Kings 24 (Z. Vulindlu, S. Marutlulle, C. Cloete tries; L. Fouche 3 cons, pens). Halftime: 29-10.

Warriors lose armwrestle with the Storm

By Michael BurGess The Warriors have become accustomed to tales of woe in the NRL – but this will go down as a pretty heartbreaking defeat.

The home side had the better of much of this match, and finished the game strongly, but lost 21-14 to a typically efficient Melbourne Storm side.

A 77th minute field goal to Cooper Cronk, which snuck just over the crossbar and centimetres inside the post, was the critical blow, before Marika Koroibete crossed in the last minute to seal the victory, as the Warriors attempted a last ditch attack.

There was an empty feeling around Mt Smart at the end of the match; a recognition that this was another missed opportunity.

It wasn’t a vintage display from the Storm, but they attacked with typical organisation and defended stoutly.

For the Warriors, there was

Ashburton Guardian 17

signs of progress but this result will heap more pressure on coach Andrew McFadden and his staff.

Issac Luke was a late withdrawal – due to a knee complaint – replaced by youngster Jazz Tevaga.

You couldn’t fault the application or desire yesterday.

There was evidence everywhere, from Kevin Proctor being flung to the ground by Ben Matulino, to Cameron Munster being corralled by six defenders chasing a Shaun Johnson kick.

But there was – again – a lack of polish in the key moments.

Twice the Warriors had forwards kicking on the fifth tackle (James Gavet and Ryan Hoffman), as moves broke down just when they needed to fire.

Momentum swings are everything in the NRL, and Melbourne had most of them in the first half.

The Warriors made a positive start but let the Storm off the

hook when Shaun Johnson put a fifth tackle kick long.

The Storm then camped in Warriors’ territory, eventually producing a try to Kenny Bromwich off a precise Cronk kick in the 13th minute. The home side hit back five minutes later, with a slick move finished by Tui Lolohea.

But the Warriors never established any dominance in the first spell.

They were let down by errors and gave up some cheap penalties, though referees Henry Perenara and Dave Munro made some mystifying calls.

The officials can’t get everything right with their interpretations but you expect consistency and both referees were particularly poor in that aspect yesterday.

The Storm didn’t need much help, but they got the rub of the green in the first half especially, and were good enough to make

the most of it, with a Cameron Munster try extending the Storm’s advantage in the 24th minute.

The Warriors lifted noticeably in the second half, with Charlie Gubb, Albert Vete and Matulino bringing a physical edge to the game. Solomone Kata burrowed over from dummy half in the 46th minute, which brought the home side – and the crowd – back into the match.

From there the Warriors were the dominant side, and scored their best try of the game just after the hour mark, with Johnathan Wright diving over in the corner after a fluid back line move.

But they couldn’t hang on to their lead, as the Storm found the answer in the dying moments.

Alonso had been trying to pass Gutierrez on lap 17 of 57. The Spaniard somehow managed to walk away from the mangled wreckage and hoards of debris seemingly unharmed. Both he and Gutierrez were taken to the medical centre for assessment. The accident triggered a red flag, bringing the race to a halt. Full race report in tomorrow’s Guardian.

But they fought back to lead 24-18 in the 72nd minute before the Raiders levelled with four minutes remaining through Brenko Lee’s try and Jarrod Croker’s conversion 10 metres in from touch. The draw was the first in the NRL since the Knights and Brisbane had an 18-all result in 2013.

Leicester City must keep calm and carry on, according to manager Claudio Ranieri. The Italian made the call after watching his side go eight points clear at the top of the English Premier League with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace yesterday.

After the final whistle, Leicester fans, increasingly scenting a first top-flight title for their unheralded club with seven games remaining, stayed in the stadium for 15 minutes singing: “We’re going to win the league”, until persuaded to leave by the announcer. This time last year Leicester were bottom of the league and they started this season as 5000-1 outsiders to win the league.

Gunners find a winner Arsenal rebounded from their FA Cup and Champions League exits with a much-needed 2-0 win at Everton. Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi scored as Arsenal won for just the second time in nine in all competitions. “It’s been a difficult couple of weeks with the results we’ve had,” Welbeck said. “It was good to get back to winning ways and have something to build on.”

The Gunners stay 11 points behind Leicester in third and pulled within three points of Tottenham. West Ham missed a chance to go into fourth place by drawing 2-2 at Chelsea.

Bayern closer to title Bundesliga leading scorer Robert Lewandowski grabbed an early goal to give Bayern Munich a 1-0 victory at Cologne yesterday that sent them eight points clear at the top of the table with seven matches left.

Bayern, on track for a treble of titles after advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals with an extra-time victory over Juventus this week, are on 69 points, with second-placed Borussia Dortmund in action against Augsburg overnight. The Bavarians are also chasing an unprecedented fourth straight Bundesliga title. Hertha Berlin edged past Ingolstadt 2-1 to remain on course for a sensational third-place finish, opening up a four-point gap over Schalke. - AP

In brief

■ TRENTHAM

Impressive win for Rasa Lila Explosive mare Rasa Lila is a black type winner and not before time after she made an overdue breakthrough at Trentham on Saturday.

A frustrating wait for trainers Steven Ramsay and Julia Ritchie and owner Sir Peter Vela ended in style with an easy as you like victory in the Gr.3 Wentwood Grange Cuddle Stakes.

Rasa Lila had previously placed this season in the Gr.2

said. She’s very, very good and a pretty valuable mare.”

Rasa Lila got back on the fence from her inside gate, but experienced rider Leith Innes kept a cool head and he was able to angle the daughter of Darci Brahma into the clear at the top of the straight.

The five-year-old needed little persuasion to hit top gear and she quickly had the race in safe keeping.

The Doncaster dream with Addictive Habit is over with injury side-lining the Group One winner until next season. “He’s got a slight tendon tear, he did it playing in his paddock,” trainer Lee Somervell said. “Our huge plans have been shot down and he’s going to need at least six months off.” Addictive Habit was to have run in the open handicap at Te Rapa on Saturday as a lead-in to the $A3 million Gr.1 Doncaster Handicap at Randwick on April 2. “It’s been a big blow, but we’ve still got a horse who hasn’t been over-raced and the prognosis is good.

- NZME

“She was pretty impressive,” Innes said. “I only had to give her one little backhander and she was off.

“It was a pretty easy ride.”

While Rasa Lila has won up to 2100 metres, Ramsay isn’t convinced she is a natural stayer and the Gr.1 Fiber Fresh New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes over a mile at Te Aroha on April 9 now looms as an obvious target.

With that form in mind, she was ideally suited by the set weights and penalties conditions in the Cuddle and had little trouble justifying her short odds.

England chases down massive T20 target England has posted the highest successful run chase ever at a World Twenty20 tournament, chasing down an improbable South Africa total with two wickets to spare in yesterday’s run-fest.

Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla struck half-centuries at the top while JP Duminy provided the late assault with an unbeaten 50 as South Africa posted a massive 4-229 after being sent in to bat in their Group One match at the Wankhede Stadium.

South Africa, considered one of the favourites for the tournament, were then left stunned as England went after their bowlers with nothing but attack on their minds.

England looked comfortable for most part of their chase before losing three wickets in seven balls towards the end of their innings, but still managed to reach their target with two balls to spare.

Jason Roy (43) and Alex Hales gave England a rollicking start, posting 48 in just 15 deliveries before both were out to paceman Kyle Abbott.

England broke a few team records as they looked to maintain their batting tempo though legspinner Imran Tahir tempered it

Joe Root scored 83 off 44. with 1-28 in his four overs.

But Joe Root, who was out in the penultimate over, hit six boundaries and four sixes to reach 83 in his 44-ball knock, bringing the sizeable crowd to their feet.

England were on the receiving end of a brutal onslaught from Chris Gayle during Wednesday’s defeat when their spinners struggled to grip the wet ball and that prompted captain Eoin Morgan to field after winning the toss.

But Amla (58) and De Kock (52) tormented the English bowlers, plundering 96 runs off seven overs in an explosive opening stand.

De Kock thrashed David Willey for 20 in the third over, while Amla hit an identical number of boundaries before falling to the off-spinner.

Ashburton Guardian

21/3

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Repetition creates routines and makes things a part of you, repetition without focus is a waste of your energy. The thing that will make this week better for you is a clear picture.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’ll apply your skill to an activity that will in turn absorb you more or less completely. Don’t be surprised if this makes someone close to you pretty jealous. It will also make you very attractive in this person’s eyes!

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You don’t have to give up the fantasy life in your head just because the real world is calling you. Let them call. What’s in your head is your own business, and anyone who would have you feel otherwise is dangerous.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Listening is love. You give it and deserve to receive it. You can tell when a person is listening as opposed to thinking about what they are going to interject when you take a break.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Are you afraid to let go? It’s not as dangerous as you think, really. And how are you going to be able to play in a new destination if you are still tethered to the past? Cut ties.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): “Consequences” are near and dear to your thought process, but lately something has changed in the way you look at things. Why not you? Why not now? Who’s going to stop you?

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The conscious mind is always trying to keep you safe. A niggling curiosity just won’t let that happen. It will keep pushing until you leave your safety zone to discover.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Forget about who you think you should be. That’s an unfair projection.

Who you are is better. Embrace and accept who you are and suddenly you can lead more effectively.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): As long as you take action, you’ll be golden. Get it right and you’ll have an adventure. Get it wrong and you’ll have an even more remarkable adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Some disapprove of your belief in magic or anything contrary to their system because this diminishes their potential to persuade you toward what they prefer you believe.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re not in it for the glory. You do what needs to be done. If a worthy candidate can relieve you of duty, you’ll go easily, knowing the next purpose is likely to suit you better.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Because you like someone so much, you’re feeling inclined to share! This you will do without feeling that you are sacrificing in any way. In fact, after sharing with a friend it will feel as though you have more.

Crews from Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, Masterton, Bay of Plenty and Christchurch took

to the water at Lake Hood for the National Dragon Boat Championships on Saturday and yesterday.

The teams battled it out in 500

metre races on Saturday followed by 200 metre and 2km races yesterday.

New Zealand Dragon Boat Association event director Meri Gibson

said the racing was enjoyed by all.

“It’s been fantastic, the crews have loved it and the weather has been great,” she said.

“There hasn’t been a glitch, the

only difficulty is when the wind gets up, but it’s been great.”

Pick up tomorrow’s edition of the Guardian for the weekend’s results.

Veronica Wall’s exceptional form has continued at the South Island Secondary Schools’ Rowing Championships at Lake Ruataniwha.

Wall picked up a gold medal in the girls’ under-16 single sculls with a time of 8.21.06 ahead of Avonside

Crusaders find their best form P17

Girls’ High School’s Ruby Norton and Roncalli’s Anna Gregan in second and third respectively.

The college starlet also placed first in the under-17 single sculls in 8.20.05, beating out Marlbourgh Girls’ College’s Stella Blake and Geogie Smith of St Andrew’s College.

The 16-year-old climbed the age

groups to snatch another gold in the girls’ under-18 single sculls in another fine performance with a time of 8.15.00 – more than 10 seconds quicker than second placed Hayley Kettings of Queen’s High School and almost 20 seconds faster than Avonside Girls’ High School’s Kendal Everest in third spot.

Wall then teamed up with Grace Wilson, Fran Connelly-Whyte, Lara Biggs and Emma Jansen to add another gold in the under-18 coxed quad sculls. Biggs and Jansen also medalled in the under-15 coxed quad sculls, taking out a silver with Emma Stagg, Katie Dolan and Mollie Gibson.
