Nitrogen plan ‘catastrophic’ P2

Thieves rip off ratepayers

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

IN TODAY’S GUARDIAN

Thieves smashed their way into an Ashburton District Council storage facility on Wednesday night and made off with about $20,000 worth of goods bought with ratepayers’ money.

Among the items taken were three cast-iron and wood picnic table sets and three park benches.

The offenders appeared to have arrived at the site with wrecking tools to break into crates and with a trailer to cart the stolen goods away, said coun-

cil open spaces acting manager Rhonda Gallagher.

There were two crates of park benches in the yard and while one was smashed and its contents stolen, attempts to break open the second crate appear to have been abandoned, she said.

“The picnic table sets were very, very heavy and they’d certainly be difficult to take away.”

The tables and benches were stored in an area secured by locks and chains in the cemetery because other council storage facilities were full and the theft

appeared to have been well planned, Gallagher said. “This is ratepayer money that we try to do the best we can with that’s been lost in the theft.”

She’s hoping the very distinctive style of the picnic sets and park benches means they will be easily spotted if they’re set up in anyone’s backyard. They are similar in style to park furniture in the Ashburton Domain.

Police are investigating the theft and anyone with information on the stolen goods can contact either police or the council.

Nitrogen plan ‘catastrophic’ for dairy farmers

By Colin WillisCroft

Colin.w@theguardian.Co.nz

New rules designed to limit pollution from farm animals will have a “catastrophic” impact on the Mid Canterbury economy, a Staveley farmer says.

Federated Farmers Mid Canterbury dairy chairman Nathan Currie said Environment Canterbury’s Plan Change 5, which will limit the amount of nitrogen that can be deposited on paddocks, including through dairy cow urine, will likely lead to a third less cows in the district. He said that sort of change will not only affect farmers, it will hurt the community as a whole.

“It’s going to be massive,” he said. “It will hit farmers hardest but it will also be catastrophic for the community.

“The repercussions will be like a tsunami going through Mid Canterbury.”

He said a third less cows would cut dairy farmers’ income by the same amount.

That would affect a multitude of downstream businesses, he said, while also restricting employment opportunities in both farming and related industries.

Farmers have made significant progress in terms of reducing the amount of nitrates that get into the waterways and will continue to do so, Currie said.

They did not need to be forced into cutting cow numbers to the extent that may push some farmers towards bankruptcy.

Environment Canterbury councillor David Caygill said reducing cow numbers was not the only option dairy farmers could take to reduce the amount

■ POST-BUDGET TOUR David Caygill of nitrates produced by their animals.

He said research done at Lincoln had shown increasing the amount of legumes in a cow’s diet could cut the amount of nitrates it produced by around 20 per cent, while farmers could consider individual cow’s nitrate production when deciding which animals to keep and which to cull.

The economic impact of Plan Change 5 was very relevant to its development, Mr Caygill said, adding that he was surprised about claims the changes could affect the economic viability of farms, as that had not been brought up during extensive hearings into the proposals held last year.

He also pointed out that the nitrate reduction targets had been developed in conjunction with a number of farming industry groups and were the result of consultation to find out what could be reasonably described as good management practices relating to water quality.

‘They would say that’ – Joyce says about Labour’s Barclay stance By susan sandys

susan.s@theguardian.Co.nz

Finance minister Steven Joyce does not think the recent scandal which hit his political party will affect National come election day.

Today marks three months before voters go the polls, and in the lead-up constituents are getting to hear all about Joyce’s 2017 Budget.

He is on a post-Budget tour, which will see him make about 40 different presentations throughout New Zealand.

His former Wellington-based employee and now Timaru-based Rangitata candidate Andrew Falloon hosted the minister in Ashburton and Timaru yesterday.

About 40 people attended the post-Budget public meeting at Hotel Ashburton at 4pm.

Prior to the meeting Joyce

spoke to the Guardian and said he did not think the Todd Barclay scandal would have a significant impact come election day, and he was not concerned about Labour’s accusations.

Labour had earlier made allegations the fiasco had shown leader Bill English had failed “the character test”.

“This is a matter of integrity and credibility. Bill English has failed to show leadership, and he is still failing to answer important questions,” Opposition leader Andrew Little said.

“They would say that,” Joyce said, adding it was Labour’s game with politics, to try and link everything back to the leader.

“I think it’s pretty clear that Bill did the two things that were most important … disclosed the information to the police and

disclosed the information to the electorate. I think it was also the right decision for him not to get involved in the local electorate,” Joyce said.

In his speech he was to address the importance of maintaining a growing economy, the importance of investing in the public services of today, the infrastructure of the future and improving family incomes.

“Everything we have done in this budget this year … is only possible because we have a strong plan which is delivering a growing economy right through the country including the regions,” he said.

Ashburton families with high housing costs were set to benefit from April 1 next year with accommodation supplement improvements.

Apartments offer new options

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton people will shortly be able to move through the many stages of ageing without leaving home.

That was the aim of developer Les Briggs when he dreamed of building a lifestyle resort for the over-60s and he’s close to seeing that dream fulfilled with the completion of assisted living apartments in the Lochlea Lifestyle Resort.

Already dozens of independent living villas dot the grounds of the resort and in June last year Radius Millstream Hospital opened its doors, providing resthome, hospital and dementia care.

All that was missing were lifestyle options that would provide the step between independent and fully assisted living. That missing link will now be completed when the resort’s assisted care apartments are showcased in an open day on July 2.

The 19, one-bedroom apartments come in a range of sizes and already resort manager Tony Sands says he’s fielding strong inquiry from potential buyers.

The apartments will be sold under the same system used for the resort’s villas – a licence to occupy – but they will be run under the umbrella of Radius Millstream. They are connected to this facility by a secure, covered walkway.

Apartment buyers are required to purchase a basic support pack-

age that includes seven meals a week, housework and laundry.

They will also pay a weekly resort fee. Other services, including additional meals and a range of care support services, can also be purchased as required.

Apartment residents have access to the full range of services and ac-

tivities offered at the resort lodge and will be part of the ‘villa village’ lifestyle, Sands said.

“Some people are still under the impression this is a resthome village. It’s not, it’s independent living and the people living here have a ball.”

The apartments offered an ele-

ment of care and that would create the bridge between fully independent living and the full care package at Radius, he said.

“Our residents refer to this as a one-stop shop; it’s an absolutely brilliant concept.”

Each apartment comes with a kitchenette, fridge, television and

convection microwave.

While they will be sold as homes, they are also registered as resthome and hospital beds to create additional facilities if Radium Millstream is fully utilised, Sands said.

The apartments will be open for viewing on July 2 between 11am and 2pm.

Huge community support for ice rink proposal

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

If community opinion wins the day, Ashburton could soon have a covered ice skating rink and a climbing wall.

Yesterday the Guardian ran a story where Ashburton District Council staff talked about the options for new, revenue earning facilities at the EA Networks Centre.

Among those ideas were the rink and climbing wall.

Council staff are well down the

track with groundwork on the climbing wall, and the ice rink proposal will be presented to district councillors next week.

Centre manager Steve Prescott put the construction of a climbing wall at around $250,000 and this would likely be funded by ratepayers.

The proposal for an ice rink, however, has come from a private developer and could see a rink constructed without ratepayer input on council owned land alongside the stadium.

To move from idea to reality, both projects need to find their way into the council’s long term plan that will be signed off in June next year after a round of community consultation.

They might be still suggestions, but reading that two new recreational facilities could be added to the stadium has fired community enthusiasm, with comments on Facebook pages overwhelmingly supportive.

Radio host Phill Hooper picked up the idea yesterday, running

with it as his discussion of the day. Within a few hours it had attracted well over 100 comments, with many saying the two new recreational options would provide much needed activities for children and teenagers.

The ice rink has been on the periphery of council thinking for several months, mayor Donna Favel said.

She was approached by a development team in February and said she was looking forward to seeing a presentation on the lat-

est proposal at Thursday’s meeting.

Favel said she liked the ice rink idea, but not if the money had to come from council coffers.

“I’d be hung, drawn and quartered if I said no to a hydroslide and then yes to $10 million say for an ice rink,” she said.

Other Facebook commentators suggested a ten pin bowling alley was needed in Ashburton while others were still keen to see water slide options added to the sports centre.

In brief Body removed Police said the body of the person located in the remains of the house fire on Wednesday in the Nelson suburb of Stoke was removed from the scene yesterday. A post mortem was to take place yesterday. The body was found early on Wednesday in the remains of the Nelson home which had burned down overnight on Tuesday. Police said earlier that an elderly couple lived at the property.

A man had managed to get out and was with family.

House demolished A Wellington house at risk of collapse in strong winds was reduced to a pile of rubble in mere minutes. The derelict property at 82 Wallace Street in the suburb of Mount Cook was demolished yesterday. Last week the Wellington City Council cordoned off a walkway neighbouring the house following an engineering report suggesting it could topple in strong winds or an earthquake. It took one digger less than half an hour to demolish the house.

■ REVIEW

Toe-tappers well received The second night of the Heartland Music Festival on Wednesday kicked off with rousing renditions of the national anthem and Ma Te Mahi Ka ora, conducted by this year’s musical director, Anna Lischner.

Mayfield School were up first, conducted by Kirsten Steel.

Their action-packed version of Go Your Own Way got the audience tapping their toes.

Their second number, Just Hold On, was delivered with style.

Netherby School had the hair on the back of my neck standing on end with their delivery of Nga Iwi E. Conductor Melanie Oakley had the children focused and clearly enjoying their time on stage.

The audience were well entertained with The Cup Song –

speedy actions and all.

Melanie Sloan directed the next bracket of Massed Choir songs Rise, Brave and Colours of the Wind, which all provided clear crisp vocals and wellrehearsed variations of timing and volume to keep the audience enthralled.

Hareuia/Hallelujah and a medley of O When the Saints, This Train and Swing Low were sung by Ashburton Christian School and accompanied by three guitarists.

Conductors Ruth Hill and Melissa Wenmoth had their group focused and enthusiastic.

Jo Castelow conducted the Ashburton Borough Senior Choir through I Believe and Fame. Clear lyrics and supporting actions again had the au-

dience tapping their toes. The enjoyment on the faces of the group was infectious to watch.

Disturbed’s version of the Sound of Silence was portrayed next by the Massed Choir, with the guidance of Kerrin Lester.

The pace then changed dramatically with Purple People Eater, clearly enjoyed by audience and performers alike.

This round of Massed Choir items finished with a robotic rendition of Radio Gaga that would have made Freddie Mercury proud!

St Joseph’s School rocked the house next with Rockin’ Robin followed by a superb version of Diamonds. Anna Lischner had these children well rehearsed and clearly loving what they were doing.

Jo Castelow once again led

the amazing Ashburton College Phoenix Chorus through When the Trumpet Sounds and a wonderfully entertaining Hair Medley complete with wigs, sunglasses and outstanding harmonies.

The Representative Choir under the experienced eye of Elaine Vallender were up next with Hallelujah, Do You Hear the People Sing and The Circle of Life. All three were delivered in superb style with crisp vocals.

The final Massed Choir songs were Better When I’m Dancin’ and You’re The Voice – a wellknown song to send the entire audience home humming and happy and well entertained.

Another great song choice from conductor Anna Lischner.

Lab loses accreditation An Auckland pathology laboratory has lost its accreditation for examining tissue samples because levels of a toxic gas got so high staff had to be evacuated almost daily. Auckland District Health Board’s LabPlus had its histology accreditation suspended on June 9 after repeatedly failing to fix ventilation issues which were first raised in 2002, soon after its new facilities at Auckland Hospital were opened.

Welcome break from hectic schedule

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Liam Kennedy-Clark is taking time out from his hectic performance schedule in Australia as he visits his home town of Ashburton this week.

During the quick seven-day trip he is catching up with family and friends and doing plenty of sleeping. He has popped into Ashburton College to see old friends and put on a performance to residents at Radius Millstream. He is gearing up for his Hometown Show at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on Saturday.

The 19-year-old has been touring across the Tasman with Lee Kernaghan, as part of the country music icon’s band and on backing vocals.

And there is talk of the possibility of Kennedy-Clark performing one or two of his own songs to open for Kernaghan.

It’s an opportunity made in heaven for Kennedy-Clark, who is determined to make it on the country music scene.

The tour is taking in centres throughout Australia and runs to July next year.

Most of Kennedy-Clark’s weekends lately have been taken up performing on the tour, and stops have included Darwin, Rockhampton, Bundaberg,

And any spare weekends he is out gigging at pubs around his base about half an hour north of Brisbane at Burpengary.

“It’s a blast, that’s the main

thing about it, it’s hectic in one way but it’s the best job in the world, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything, playing music every weekend,” he said.

Cautious on social housing project

By Sue newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The future of a social housing project in the Ashburton District could lie in the hands of the district’s 12 councillors and its mayor.

Presbyterian Support manager Jackie Girvan has been highlighting the urgent need for social housing for both the elderly and for single people and has made a pitch to the council for its support.

That support, she anticipates, could most likely come in the form of an urban section or two the council no longer has a need for.

Council business support manager Paul Brake said that staff were working on Girvan’s proposal and would have a report prepared for

the finance and business services meeting at the end of July.

“We don’t have many sites that would be available and we’re looking at whether we can help them or not. They’ve given us some information but we need to go back to them for more detail before we prepare this report,” he said.

Social housing, particularly involvement in the Abbeyfields concept, had been discussed by the council a few years ago, but no decisions were made, Brake said.

Abbeyfield is a housing concept that provides group accommodation for older people in a flatting situation. The multi-bedroom property is owned by a council or community group and residents pay rent for their room. It is managed by a board and its objective

is to offer residents companionship, security and independent living. Often a house manager provides meals.

While she stopped short of supporting the council’s involvement in a social housing project, mayor Donna Favel said she did support the idea of the council helping the community solve its problems, providing that help and support came in a way that was not detrimental to ratepayers.

The council did have sections set aside in case it decided to expand its elderly housing stocks and if this land was used for a social housing project, the opportunity costs would need to be assessed, she said.

“But I am very open to working with the community to find solutions.”

Repair work is well under way on the Ashburton Salvation Army Family Store.

Last week a vehicle crashed through a brick wall on the Wills Street end of the store and came to a standstill in the middle of the building.

The driver had been dropping

off donations in a collection area behind the building at the time.

Builders and bricklayers have been hard at work and the store should be reopening next week some time, foodbank manager Judith Lilley said.

Much of the stock was spoiled and had to be dumped, along with the crumpled clothes racks, however there was plenty in storage.

The foodbank, which has a separate entrance, has remained open while the work has been carried out.

No one was injured when the accident occurred, although a pregnant mother had a close call.

Principal struck off for ‘worst misconduct’ A long-serving principal has been struck off the teachers’ register for what the Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal has described as “the worst kind of misconduct”.

Jenny Eugenia Brenda Leach, who was principal of Ferguson Intermediate School in Otara for 22 years, admitted forging her own teacher’s appraisal in November 2014.

She signed the appraisal in the name of her husband Mike Leach, who was then headmaster of King’s College but resigned suddenly in November 2015 after only a year in the job.

The Disciplinary Tribunal found that Mike Leach “did not carry out an appraisal of the respondent [Jenny Leach] in 2014 and he did not sign the appraisal”.

“The respondent completed the appraisal herself and was responsible for the electronic signature placed on the document.

“We interpolate that it struck us as unusual that the respondent’s husband was her purported appraiser.”

The tribunal found that Jenny Leach’s actions were “dishonest and a breach of her obligations under the Education Council’s Code of Ethics”.

“One of the fundamental principles underpinning the professional interactions of teachers is truth – to be honest with others and self,” the tribunal said.

“By providing a false apprais-

‘We consider this to be a clear-cut example of the worst kind of misconduct’ al, the respondent undermined the integrity of the Board of Trustees chairperson’s endorsement of her application to renew her practising certificate.

Her actions also undermined the integrity of the Education Review Office’s audit of the appraisal.”

The tribunal’s report says Jenny Leach had agreed to a joint memorandum accepting that her actions constituted serious misconduct. It gives no explanation for her actions.

“We agree with the parties that the penalties necessary to mark the gravity of the respondent’s serious misconduct are censure, cancellation of her registration, and annotation of the register,” it said.

“We consider this to be a clear-cut example of the worst kind of misconduct for which the maximum penalty of cancellation is reserved.” – NZME

■ CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL

Mayor Dalziel backs restoration Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel says if there is to be any certainty on the Christ Church Cathedral’s future, the Anglican Church’s synod must vote in favour of restoration.

At Thursday’s city council meeting Dalziel said there was only one decision the synod could make in September that would provide that certainty – voting for restoration.

“If the synod make the decision not to restore the Cathedral, we will have uncertainty for years and that is something I don’t think the city can tolerate.

“I think there is only one decision that actually takes us forward as a city. And there is no other decision that will lead to anything else other than uncertainty and legal wrangles for years.”

Bishop Victoria Matthews announced last month the synod, a governing body made up of 225 parishioners and priests, would vote on whether to restore, or rebuild the earthquake-damaged building in September.

Dalziel said she was “blindsided” by that decision.

“I didn’t know that was going to be coming out as a position. So I

initiated a meeting with the Bishop because I felt we hadn’t had a meeting since my re-election last year. And it is really important for the city to be fully engaged in what is an incredibly important

Belton said it was important residents and city councillors read the Government-appointed working group report, released last month, which recommended the Cathedral be restored.

part of our city.”

Her comments came after Restore Christ Church Cathedral cochairmen Mark Belton and Tim Preston spoke before councillors, asking them to take a stand.

The report called for the reinstatement at an cost of about $105 million, to be funded by philanthropic and public donations, the insurance proceeds and support from central and local government.

He said if the synod voted for the Cathedral to be demolished and rebuilt, it would likely go to court.

“It can’t be a vote to take away the Cathedral and have it rebuilt.

It can only be a vote to take the matter to court.”

Preston asked councillors to think about whether they believed the state of the Cathedral was acceptable to the city.

“It’s certainly not acceptable to me.”

He encouraged them to look at attending the pre-synod meetings, which Dalziel said they would be interested in.

Dalziel said she had asked staff to urgently prepare a report on the working group’s recommendations to give some sense of direction on what the city could promote or contribute.

She was expecting that report back within a “very short space of time”.

Climbing wall, ice rink – bring them on

Sue Newman

SENIOR REPORTER

T

he suggestion that Ashburton’s EA Networks Centre could become home to an ice rink and a climbing wall has ignited the community.

Facebook has been running red hot and the two new facilities have become the topic of the moment for ‘water cooler’ workplace discussions.

The community appears to be united – bring it on.

Both recreational options are still just ideas, but they’re ideas that both have keen promoters.

The council-run facility is already well supported, but its use options are currently just aquatic, gym or traditional sports such as netball and basketball and that means it has a limited pool of users.

Like any facility it needs to make money and, in this case, making money could mean broadening its offerings.

The climbing wall seems to be a no-brainer. Estimates are this could cost around $250,000, so in terms of council spending that’s not large; it could be managed out of one of the many reserve accounts that sit gathering dust, accumulating interest.

There must be a corner in the stadium that could be its home without disruption to court users. If not in the stadium itself, what about in the foyer area that is now largely unused, except for the odd function. Imagine walking up to the front door of the stadium and seeing human ants scaling rocky walls.

The ice rink is a trickier proposition. The cost is unknown, but the suggestion that it could be funded by a developer makes it instantly appealing. And certainly it would be a huge attraction for both locals and visitors.

Add to that the energyefficiencies that would come with running a pool that requires hot water and an ice rink that needs cold and that has to earn the project another big tick.

The aim of the complex when it was built was that it would meet the needs of the entire community. What our community is telling us is that, fantastic as it is, that facility does not meet all needs; a climbing wall and an ice rink would go a long way towards bridging that gap.

We have an opportunity to make this fantastic complex a one-stop shop for recreation, let’s not waste it.

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

ROLLING POLL This week’s question

YOUR VIEWS ON FACEBOOK

Q: Are we paying too much for rental properties in Ashburton?

F

or every person who agrees, there is another sitting there ready and waiting to disagree. We see both sides to every argument and are keen to give each their voice.

Following on from ‘Daisy’s Story’ this week, our comment sections have been a hotbed of activity with a large number of people keen to weigh-in on the debate.

There’s been those firmly against, others who you would consider to be soft neutrals and there have been those who are in total agreeance.

In somewhat of a final hurrah to the subject for now, we’ve picked out two of the best comments from yesterday’s social media activity, with two different perspectives.

Results up to 5pm yesterday: Yes 60.98%

No 39.02%

Lissette Yesterdays article was not an attack on the good farmers but on the bad farmers making excuses for their poor farming practices. You who are commenting saying it is acceptable to have an empty rate that high and that the number one cause for such high empty rates is lack of feed. I can believe that good farmers are willing to accept the underbelly that goes on in dairy farming. I guess the old saying goes if it’s not talked about then it doesn’t exist. WAKE UP New Zealand farmers if you are a good farmer then shout it loud and proud but don’t continue to cover up the atrocities that are hidden within our dairy industry.

Also how can you not humanise cows when they become our pets our confidants our friends cause let’s face it we spend that much time with our cows. Those who have no compassion or value on another animals rights in this world are just as bad as the dog meat trade in china or family violence. REMEMBER NEW ZEALAND. Just cause we don’t talk about doesn’t mean it’s not there and real. And thank god buttercup is one of the lucky ones well done

Ricky I am a good farmer and I am proud. Yes there were some high empty rates around this year maybe coming off the back on no inductions,or fodder beet could be playing a big part as well as a huge amount of dairy farmers are now using it without a great knowledge of how it could affect the cows long term ,but as for a lack of feed this is rubbish you go out and buy in feed if your low,it’s that simple my cows get that much grass and supplements they leave the paddocks messy as they are full ,and I mow to sort this out,yes we have to accept some are not doing what the need but they picture us as a whole all the time ,it’s like saying one bad builder and brushing them all the same, a lot of good farmers bring good money into Ashburton and are know feeling the backlash from the townies and it’s not good,to easy for me to ring a business in Chch to come service my needs, then what .

hawshank Redemption is my favourite movie of all time.

I was gutted to learn that the famous oak tree from towards the end of the movie, where Andy buried the tin for Red, was badly damaged in a storm and was going to be cut down.

Well I’m happy to say the tree lives on. Wood from the tree used in an iconic scene from the movie has been fashioned into some very cool – but expensive – souvenirs.

Shawshank merchandise went on sale Saturday in Mansfield, Ohio. Items from the fallen tree include key chains and magnets ($40), mini rock hammers ($85), bottle openers ($130), and shadow boxes with an inscription of Andy’s note to Red ($500). I could see any one of those items going straight to the ‘pool room’.

I guess it’s like Andy told Red, “no good thing ever dies”.

When the Roomba (robot vacuum cleaner) was first introduced in 2002, it was the answer to the prayers of many busy mums and dads, bachelors and students.

I will stick my hand up and admit to purchasing a cheaper version of the Roomba, although to be honest it never really worked all that well.

People at the time couldn’t believe that for a few hundred bucks you could buy a robot that would vacuum your floors.

After the Roomba’s success, its creator, Joe Jones, invented the Scooba, which scrubs floors. Before you ask, no I didn’t purchase one of these.

Now Jones, this ‘saint among men’, plans to change gardening with the Tertill. The Tertill is essentially a Roomba that lives in gardens and automatically cuts the weeds.

It’s solar-powered and relies on sensors to navigate around garden obstacles. It can identify weeds and activate a mini-weed whacker to chop them down.

The Tertill is currently available on Kickstarter for $249 and will start shipping in May 2018.

The great thing about them?

Editor, PO Box 77

■ The inventor’s long-term plan is to create robots that can automatically weed farms without the need for dangerous herbicides.

This could eventually increase agricultural efficiency and help eliminate global food shortages.

For now, the Tertill, like its namesake, is taking a slow, but steady approach to helping us on the way to enjoying a weed-free garden and a pain-free back at the same time!

Sounds great to me, apart from vege gardening, the one thing I’ve learned about gardening is, when telling the difference between a plant and a weed, all you need to do is pull on it.

If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

I just hope Mr Jones isn’t leading us down the garden path?

Imagine getting tickets to see the highly anticipated clash between unbeaten boxing sensation Floyd Mayweather and UFC champion Conor McGregor that was made official last week, setting up what’s likely to be one of the grandest spectacles in sporting history.

Peter McAuliffe Branch Manager DDI: 03 975 8710 M: 021 288 8303 E: peter.mcauliffe@rothbury.co.nz Members of IBANZ

Here are some fun facts about the August 26 match: ■ Mayweather and McGregor are scheduled to meet at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, at a contracted weight of 154 pounds (super welterweight).

■ Mayweather has never weighed in above 152 pounds. McGregor is the UFC Lightweight champion (155 pounds). Gaining that extra three pounds would never be a problem for me!

■ The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds of three minutes each. McGregor is more accustomed to UFC’s five-minute rounds. (But also only accustomed to five rounds total …)

■ Traditional boxing rules will apply. If you wonder what might happen if McGregor “goes rogue” and throws a kick, knee or elbow, those MMA techniques are contractually forbidden and would result in several financial penalties. (But it would be awesome!)

■

■

■ ■

Both fighters will be randomly drug tested (both blood and urine) by the US Anti-Doping Agency.

Fight purses for the bout will not be revealed until fight night, but all told it’s predicted that McGregor could flirt with a total payout of nearly $100 million, with Mayweather potentially receiving nearly double that amount, depending on the success of pay-per-view sales.

Whatever McGregor earns, it’s a far cry from the $235 welfare checks he collected while living in his hometown of Dublin at this time five years ago.

McGregor is currently a huge underdog for the fight.

The only people of note who have publicly predicted a Conor McGregor upset are Sylvester Stallone, Conor McGregor … and Conor McGregor’s mum.

■ IRAQ

Isis destroys iconic mosque The Islamic State group destroyed Mosul’s al-Nuri mosque and its iconic leaning minaret known as al-Hadba when fighters detonated explosives inside the structures, Iraq’s Ministry of Defence said.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi tweeted the destruction was an admission by the militants that they are losing the fight for Iraq’s second-largest city.

“Daesh’s bombing of the alHadba minaret and the al-Nuri Mosque is a formal declaration of their defeat,” al-Abadi said, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.

The mosque, which is also known as Mosul’s Great Mosque, is where Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared a so-called Islamic caliphate in 2014 shortly after Mosul was overrun by the militants. The minaret that leaned like Italy’s Tower of Pisa had stood for more than 840 years.

An Isis statement posted online shortly after the Ministry of Defence reported the mosque’s destruction blamed an airstrike by the United States for the loss of the mosque and minaret.

The US-led coalition rejected the Isis claim.

A coalition spokesman, US Army Col. Ryan Dillon, said coalition aerial surveillance

Grenfell charity single Many of the largest names in British music joined together to pay homage to the victims of the Grenfell tower fire. Artists including Stormzy, Robbie Williams and The Who, released the charity single to raise funds for people affected by the fire at a tower block in west London. The song is a cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel. It also features performances from Leona Lewis, James Blunt and a large choir made up of local people, some of whom survived the blaze. The single is an initiative of pop and TV talent show judge Simon Cowell.

Isis has blamed the damage on the iconic al-Nuri mosque on a US airstrike, something the US has denied. confirmed the mosque was destroyed, but he said a US strike was not the cause.

“We did not conduct strikes in that area at that time,” Dillon said.

Isis fighters initially attempted to destroy the minaret in July 2014. The militants said the structure contradicted their

fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, but Mosul residents converged on the area and formed a human chain to protect it. Isis has demolished dozens of historic and archaeological sites in and around Mosul, saying they promoted idolatry.

“This is a crime against the people of Mosul and all of Iraq,

and is an example of why this brutal organisation must be annihilated,” US Maj. Gen. Joseph Martin, the commander of coalition ground forces in Iraq, said in a written statement.

“The responsibility of this devastation is laid firmly at the doorstep of Isis,” he added.

■ UNITED STATES

Officials underscore Russia election threat US officials sought to underscore for lawmakers the threat Russia posed to the 2016 vote for the White House, outlining efforts to hack into election systems in 21 states and to fill the internet with misinformation during a divisive campaign season.

Officials also revealed what appeared to be a breakdown in communications about how severe the threat appeared, and they reported tensions the Obama administration faced in trying to publicly warn of meddling in the face of a skeptical then-candidate Donald Trump.

“One of the candidates, as

you’ll recall, was predicting that the election was going to be rigged in some way. And so we were concerned that, by making the statement, we might in and of itself be challenging the integrity of the — of the election process itself,” Jeh Johnson, the former head of the Homeland Security Department, told members of the House intelligence committee.

The testimony came during a day of double-barrelled intelligence committee hearings – one in the House and one in the Senate – that underscored the US intelligence community’s months-old determination that Russia attempted to med-

dle in the election. The issue has become a flashpoint for the Trump administration as congressional committees and a special counsel investigate the interference and whether the Trump campaign may have become enmeshed in it.

A day earlier, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said he still has yet to know the president’s thoughts on whether Russia interfered.

Johnson said Russian hacking didn’t change election totals, but he can’t be sure other meddling didn’t influence public opinion.

“It is not for me to know to what extent the Russian hacks

influenced public opinion and thereby influence the outcome of the election,” he said.

Senators said the Homeland Security Department should reveal which state election systems were targeted by hackers as Jeanette Manfra, the department’s undersecretary for cybersecurity, demurred.

Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the committee’s ranking Democrat, noted that the FBI has confirmed intrusions into voter registration databases in Arizona and Illinois, and said Americans need to know the identities of the other 19 states where meddling was detected.

■ SAUDI ARABIA

King names son as first-in-line to the throne Saudi Arabia’s King Salman appointed his 31-year-old son Mohammed bin Salman as crown prince yesterday, placing him first-in-line to the throne and laying the groundwork for an entirely new generation of royals to take the reins.

Saudi Arabia’s once powerful counter-terrorism czar, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, was removed from the line of succession – giving the younger

prince a firmer hold on the kingdom’s foreign policies, including its close ties with US President Donald Trump, its rivalry with Iran, its more than two-year-long war in Yemen and its punishing moves to isolate Qatar.

The appointment of such a young royal as the immediate heir to the throne essentially sets Saudi policy for decades in the hands of a man seen as a risk taker.

“He could be there for 50 years,” said Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, a research fellow at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University. “If you look at it positively, it is basically setting Saudi Arabia’s course into the 21st century.”

The shuffle stripped Mohammed bin Nayef of his title as crown prince and interior minister, overseeing security.

Hanson sets record straight Hanson first burst into the music scene with their infectious 90s pop anthem MMMBop and if you ask most people about Hanson now, it’s the first – and often only – thing they recall. What most people don’t realise is Hanson - brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac – are celebrating their 25th anniversary, seven albums, 14 major tours, several Grammy nominations and a horde of their own children later. “It’s really crazy to be 36 years old and to have been doing something for 25 years,” Isaac says, laughing. The Hanson brothers are celebrating with a Middle of Everywhere world tour – a play on their first studio album name Middle of Nowhere.

In brief

Balance sheet ‘healthy’

NZME chief executive Michael Boggs at the company’s annual meeting.

“We absolutely will continue to work on these,” he said.

Boggs said that the company made very good progress on its operational priorities in 2016 – including growing its audiences by 5 per cent, slowing the decline of print revenue, returning radio

agency revenue to growth, driving digital revenue growth and achieving major cost savings.

“Our continued focus on growing audience reach is at the heart of how NZME creates value for shareholders,” he said.

Boggs highlighted latest Niels-

The sale of New Zealand financial services supervisory business Complectus has fallen through after the Australian buyer didn’t meet the agreed settlement date of May 31. The deal was announced on May 18 with Overseas Investment Office approval and trumped a planned $150 million initial public offering. However, Auckland-based Complectus said the company is still owned by Andrew Barnes’ Bath Street Capital after Australia’s Sargon Capital didn’t meet the terms of the sale and purchase agreement. - NZME

en results showing that the New Zealand Herald, which NZME publishes, enjoyed strong yearon-year readership growth, up 14,000 print readers to 425,000.

The Herald on Sunday, according to the results, remains the most-read and highest selling Sunday newspaper in the country.

He explained to shareholders that the company was appealing the Commerce Commission’s refusal to allow the proposed merger with Fairfax NZ because the media companies believed the regulator was wrong in “fact and law”.

“We believe the transaction would be positive for New Zealand, our employees and our shareholders by enhancing the competitiveness of locally-produced content for our news, sport and entertainment markets.

In terms of cost, NZME is sharing the costs of the appeal with Fairfax.

Ahead of the merger appeal, Boggs said it was “business as usual for NZME”.

Trust on own two feet Public Trust, the state-owned entity duty-bound to act as the trustee of last resort, will lose its Crown guarantee next year, putting it on an equal footing with the privately owned supervising firms. The government will introduce legislation to remove the Crown guarantee, which Finance Minister Steven Joyce and Associate Justice Minister Mark Mitchell say will end the competitive advantage the Public Trust has had with government backing. Public Trust is the country’s biggest provider of wills, writing about 6600 a year. - NZME

to moderate. The RBNZ expect that there will be some volatility in headline inflation, but will increase gradually, with long term inflation expectations anchored at 2 per cent.

In addition to this, house price inflation has moderated, influenced by the loan-to-value ratio restrictions and tighter lending conditions. As noted in the latest release from the Real Estate Institute of NZ, more houses are for sale around the country and they are taking longer to sell, prompting speculation that slowing house prices are expected to continue.

Despite the positivity surrounding the growth outlook for NZ and inflation normalisation, the key comment was that monetary policy is expected to remain accommodative for a considerable period as numerous uncertainties remain.

This was the same comment that was in the last release but it seems like the market took it more seriously this time, with expectations for the next rate hike pushing out further.

The market is pricing in around a 50 per cent chance that rates will remain on hold for the next 12 months.

The latest Global Dairy Trade auction saw a small decline in the dairy price index, falling 0.8 per cent.

This was largely expected in the lead-up to the auction with futures pricing in a small decline.

This was the first auction in seven that saw a price decline and was on slightly lower volumes.

Whole milk powder prices slipped also, down 3.3 per cent, its second decline in as many auctions. Skim milk powder prices increased again, steadily erasing the declines from earlier in the year.

Migration continues to be a hot topic for New Zealand and this week saw yet another record yearly gain in May. For the year, net migration was 73,300 with gains largely driven

by Australians moving to New Zealand and Kiwis returning home.

The number of migrants on student visas declined, while the number of those arriving with work visas increased again as recent trends continue. Visitor arrivals also increased for the year with just over 3.6 million visitors.

Of these visitors, 40 per cent were from Australia while Chinese tourists made up 11 per cent of total visitors.

Coming up this weekend are a number of flash PMI’s (purchasing managers’ index) for June.

Flash PMI’s are an initial reading on economic activity. Last month’s reading saw Japanese PMI improve to the strongest level in three months, while Europe remained very strong.

The market week in review

il prices took centre stage this week, driving markets lower as prices plummeted to the lowest they have been all year.

Fresh concerns of oversupply, particularly in the US, have resurfaced despite OPEC nations committing to limiting production out to 2018. The plummeting oil prices drove the Australian index to have its worst single day decline of the year, while pulling other markets back from all-time or multi-month highs.

In terms of economic data, the focus was largely on New Zealand after a couple of quiet weeks on the local front.

Top of the list for New Zealand investors was the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s June meeting.

Expectations were for the RBNZ to hold the Official Cash Rate for the fourth meeting in a row, and this held true with the OCR remaining at 1.75 per cent, an all-time low.

The commentary was again the focus for analysts, which was reasonably upbeat. Despite the weakness from the first quarter GDP, the growth outlook for NZ is positive.

Missing from the usual rhetoric was commentary on the currency being too high.

We have again seen strength from the Kiwi dollar, with the TWI up around 3 per cent since May. The currency gained further strength on the back of this although gains were pared back later in the day.

Inflation was again in the spotlight, as it had increased in the March quarter however, the increase was driven by temporary factors which are expected

NZME has a healthy balance sheet and cash flow to support its growth plans, the company’s chief executive Michael Boggs told shareholders at its inaugural annual meeting yesterday.

The company had brought together leading New Zealand print, radio and e-commerce arms to create a “unique media business” that reached more than 3.2 million Kiwis, he said.

“We have integrated and transformed these businesses to create an organisation that has a sharp focus on news, sport and entertainment, delivering exceptional content to our audience and broad reach to our advertisers.

“We are really very proud to be one of New Zealand’s leading media companies, with local management, that understands the New Zealand business and our Kiwi audience,” Boggs told the shareholder meeting at NZME central in Auckland.

“The integration has established a much more agile business and delivered some significant efficiency benefits.

Hyundai Ioniq EV

Leading the charge W

ant to do a return trip to Christchurch without burning any fossil fuel and of course with zero exhaust emissions?

Well Hyundai’s new five-seat, pure electric Ioniq EV hatch, with its real-world driving battery range of 210km is capable of doing this, without a re-charge.

One important thing is being that you start off with the battery fully charged, and ensure all the car’s eco and energy regeneration systems are engaged so they partially replenish the battery on the drive.

And resist using the heated seats, both front and back.

By doing this you’ll likely avoid chances of “range anxiety” on the way home, and also still be impressed with the quiet but quick acceleration from standstill, its overtaking, and easy cruising abilities.

Better still, if its a work commute and you can plug in to a 3-pin plug during the day, then you can make full use, both ways, without any thoughts of running out of power, of all the luxuries on board.

Things like the seat/ steering wheel heating, wireless smart phone charging dock and great 8-speaker sound system.

In the decent 350-litre size boot, there’s two cable packs, one for fast-charges and the other for a standard 3-pin plug.

A network of fast-chargers (BMW is a partner in this scheme) is gradually being set up in NZ as part of an electric highway (EA Networks have one at Salmon Tales in Rakaia).

I understand the average top-up at most of these fast-chargers to be about 20 minutes.

A fast-charge pack for home costs $2000, or you can use a 3-pin plug in your garage.

With it, a full recharge will take about 14 hours, with electricity consumption being similar to a fridge.

Help in finding fast-chargers on the socalled electric highway is available from the ChargeNet website. This shows places cars are already plugged in and how long they may take.

There’s also a smart-phone app.

The Ioniq EV’s 28kWh battery (it has a 10-year unlimited warranty) powers an electric permanent magnet synchronous Motor which produces 88kW of power and 295Nm of torque.

There’s a single-speed, direct-drive transmission to the front wheels.

But why bother about EVs? Well the Paris Agreement of 2015, which NZ has signed, aims to (now without Donald Trump’s help) keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, hence the importance of reducing emissions.

And while our government says it has a target for 64,000 EVs on our roads by 2021, it offers no incentive subsidies as many other countries do, for people to buy them.

Rather ironically, the US government offers a $10,000 subsidy to do so!

If such a thing was available in New Zealand, it would mean the cost of the Ioniq EV would be pretty much the same as its

Roger Hart ROAD TEST

hybrid sibling, which Hyundai launched at the same time.

The hybrid is priced from $46,990, with the well equipped Elite, costing $52,990.

The EV costs $59,990 or $65,990 for the Elite.

The hybrid, with power from its package of 1.6-litre petrol engine producing 77kW and 147Nm of torque and 32kW/170Nm electric motor driving through a six-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox, completely expels any chance of range anxiety.

Yet it still gives those keen on reducing emissions, the opportunity to do so, for the Elite hybrid’s stated overall fuel use is 3.9L/100kms, and its changeover from electric power (good for 20km) to petrol is seamless.

These pleasant-looking, aerodynamic Ioniq are of a similar size to Hyundai’s Elantra.

They sit on a light-weight chassis with lots of aluminium in their body panels and suspension.

From the front they each look a little different, for the EV has no need of a radia-

tor, so there’s no grille and a smooth front.

Meanwhile the hybrid has a stylish grille, with computer controlled air flaps behind it to reduce drag.

Inside both are pretty much like comfortably furnished conventional cars.

There’s no zany touches, just logical, easy to work out and use stuff as you sit in the wide comfortable seats.

There’s three buttons on the EV’s centre console - N (neutral), R (reverse) and D (drive), while the paddles select the regenerative power modes.

The hybrid has a traditional gear selector.

Both cars have three driving modes, including Sport, in which the EV breaks the 10 second barrier for 0-100km/h.

Safety is to the fore, especially for the Elites which have blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, smart cruise control, and lane-keep assist.

FINALE For the environmentally responsible, which we all need to quickly become, Hyundai’s Iconiq EV and hybrid range (a plug-in hybrid with a larger 9.8kW/h battery arrives soon), now pretty much leads the charge!

Strap yourself in ...

G

racing the Nissan section at the recent opening of Gluyas Motor Group’s new premises was this latest GTR. Strap yourself in, press start and feel the roar I was told.

And quickly did!

Although my drive was a short 35km, of which the nitrogen-filled tyres took the first 10km to warm up, the inherent and absolute urgency the GT-R package conveys could certainly be felt!

For the hand-built twin turbo,

3.8-litre V6, complete with a titanium exhaust system, produces 419kW and 632Nm of torque, which gets to the bitumen via a 6-speed sequential dual-clutch auto and high performance all-wheel-drive system.

Nissan say the GT-R is a real supercar that delivers performance in real-world conditions, for road, track, and nearly anything in between, through its threemode, three switch system for on-thefly adjustments of the transmission, suspension and stability control.

GT-Rs are priced from $191,000.

When the rubber hits the road A von Tyres continued to support both sidecar and solo entrants at the world-famous Isle of Man TT in 2017, dominating the podium in both of the sidecar races with all of the podium places taken by Avon-shod outfits.

The first sidecar race, delayed for 48 hours due to bad weather, saw an imperious performance from brothers Ben and Tom Birchall. The Mansfield pair are used to TT glory on Avon tyres, and led the three-lap race from the start, breaking their own lap record along the way with a 117.119mph lap on their second circuit of the Mountain Course.

John Holden and Lee Cain reeled in Dave Molyneux and Dan Sayle and that is how they finished to take second and third place.

The Birchalls made it two wins from two when the second sidecar race ran on the last day of the TT schedule on June 9.

Away from the three-wheelers, Avon rider Timothee Monot had another successful TT fortnight, taking 12th place in the Lightweight TT, just a couple of days after finishing 36th in the super-challenging Supersport race. Monot heads back over the channel with two Bronze Replicas for his efforts – and will return again later this year for more, competing in the Classic TT.

Elegance and excellence

T

he Concours of Elegance 2017 will host a 60th anniversary celebration of Jaguar’s legendary 1-2-3-4-6 finish at the 1957 Le Mans 24 Hours race.

All three podium finishers will drive in convoy, alongside two further Le Mans-raced D-types, into the grounds of Hampton Court Palace for the duration of this year’s Concours of Elegance.

Despite taking victory in the 1955 and 1956 Le Mans 24 Hours races, it was the 1957 running when the D-types really had their chance to shine. Scotland’s Ecurie Ecosse team took the first two places in D-types, followed by Equipe Los Amigos in third and Equipe National Belge in fourth.

Rounding off Jaguar’s five finishers in the top six was a privateer D-type driven by Duncan Hamilton and Masten Gregory.

Now, 60 years later, the first, second and third place finishers will line up at Hampton Court Palace alongside D-type XKD 504, which went to Le Mans in 1955 and 1958, and XKD 605 which finished sixth at Le Mans in 1956.

In the days preceding the Concours of Elegance, the five D-types will embark on an incredible journey from Classic Works, the new heart of Jaguar Land Rover Classic in Coventry.

Taking in stops at Silverstone and the home of the Panasonic Jaguar Racing Formula E team, the D-types will drive into Hampton Court Palace on the morning of Friday September 1.

Jaguar’s Fifties heroes won’t be the only Le Mans legends on display at Concours of Elegance, with the 1988 race-winning Jaguar XJR-9 also forming part of the main concours display.

Throughout the weekend at Concours of Elegance, the D-type display and a number of other vehicles will be starting their engines and driving to the brand new Concours of Elegance central stage.

Mulgari comes up with a very special signature

M

ulgari Automotive, the specialist design, styling and tuning house, has launched a new bespoke vehicle ownership programme, Signature Vehicles, providing customers with an unrivalled ownership experience, with new vehicles tailored and built to personal specification.

Announced at an invite-only event, prospective customers were given exclusive access to the Signature Vehicle concept, a unique McLaren MP4-12C known as Project Twelve, and the first production cars to come from the new bespoke vehicle programme.

The Signature Vehicle programme provides customers with the opportunity to create a car as unique as their own signature, with a host of cosmetic, performance and interior upgrades available on new cars.

The first production model to come from the programme, the Mulgari F56 SV, is based on the current F56 MINI Cooper S. Available across the entire the MINI range, the new bespoke models can now be ordered directly from Mulgari.

More power. More luxury. More you.

Instantly setting the F56 SV out from the standard car is a visual enhancement pack, which brings a more aggressive look to the current MINI Cooper S. This involves the removal of all chrome from the exterior with one of six colour accents added to the mirrors, belt line, brake calipers and front grille. New 18” lightweight sports wheels are added with a lower front splitter fitted to the front bumper. Custom

exhaust tips hint at the heightened performance available in the F56 SV. Mulgari unlocks the performance potential of the F56 MINI with a bespoke engine management program, a refined exhaust system and additional engine cooling resulting in a 23 per cent increase in performance.

Power is increased to 280bhp, with 290 lbft of torque now available. An entirely

new suspension setup enables customers to take full advantage of the additional performance without removing any of the original model’s character.

The F56 SV sits 30mm lower than the standard car, adding further presence to customer’s individual Signature Vehicle from the exterior.

Inside, every Mulgari Signature Vehicle undergoes a complete interior refit, with

the seats, steering wheel and doors professionally retrimed in the customer’s choice of material and colour. Like the exterior, contrast stitching provides a subtle accent colour, while a host of non-standard options can also be specified.

Every Signature Vehicle is handmadeto-order to customer’s exact specification at Mulgari Automotive’s state-of-the-art Berkshire-based showroom and workshop.

Signature Vehicle customers can expect an ownership experience similar to the loyal drivers of elite automotive brands. Mulgari designs every aspect of the car with the customer, offering access to exclusive options and looking after every detail of the vehicle to delivery and there after.

Benjamin Sunners, Owner, Mulgari Automotive, commented; “From our experience, we have seen how manufacturers can be frustrated by market requirements.

Most customers come to Mulgari to ‘finish’ their car, unlocking its full performance and visual potential, and fitting options, some of which simply aren’t available from an OEM. “The response to the Mulgari Project Twelve was overwhelming but we wanted to bring the fantastic experience of owning a bespoke car to more than a lucky few.

“Signature Vehicles delivers the ultimate customer experience in, what we feel is, the best fun car in the business. Taking a great car and enabling customers to make it truly theirs is what Mulgari has done for hundreds of customers and now they can have this experience at a dealer level, ordering a new car that is completely theirs from day one.”

In brief

■ JOCKEYS PREMIERSHIP

Johnson burning bookies Bookies are getting set to run up the white flag in the battle of the New Zealand jockeys’ premiership.

And that could mean paying out punters who backed veteran rider Chris Johnson with more than a month of the season to go.

Johnson was $51 to win the jockeys’ premiership at the start of the season, being just 15th in the order of favouritism.

But after two wins at Pukekohe on Wednesday continued a magic month in the mud, the TAB has suspended betting on him as he sits 10 clear of long-time premiership leader Danielle Johnson, who pegged one back in the last race yesterday.

While the 53-year-old with the incredible back story has been rated the South Island’s number one rider for much of the last three decades his season-opening odds were reflective of the fact he finished 18th in the premiership last season.

And while he has finished as close as fourth two years ago, that was still over 50 wins behind the premiership winner.

Even just three weeks ago a premiership looked unlikely as he sat five wins behind a rampant Danielle Johnson but he has since ridden like a man possessed, or perhaps more dangerously in his case, a man focused.

Magic Man Chris Johnson is rewarding faithful punters.

While Chris Johnson has regularly picked up his two or more wins at South Island meetings he is also riding at better than a win a meeting in the north since he started travelling in his bid to win the title.

“His recent form has been so good we have started talking in the office about whether we surrender and pay his punters out,” admits TAB bookie Stephen Hunt.

“The way the market has turned around this month we now rate him somewhere between $1 and $1.01 to win the title so it looks a done deal.

“We are only really leaving the market open in case he got suspended or something like that or Danielle had a really hot patch for a week and rode five winners.

“But if Chris happened to ride another four or five in the next week and nobody closes the gap

on him then we might look at paying punters out, particularly if the margin gets above 15.”

The bookies paying out premiership markets in advance is nothing new, and they paid out those who backed Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman to win the trainers’ premiership three weeks ago, with still two months of the season to run.

They have had little reason to regret that generosity, with the Cambridge trainers bringing up their 100th domestic win for the season with Checkout at Pukekohe and sitting 24 clear of nearest rival Kevin Myers.

Chris Johnson does have the advantage of riding at his local South Island meetings, where Alysha Collett, who sits third on the premiership, is his only regular North Island-based rival but his ambition to travel as relentlessly as he has in the last month was a curveball bookies simply couldn’t have seen coming.

To further aid him, Danielle Johnson heads to Sweden in early July to compete at an international female jockeys competition, meaning she will miss at least one northern meeting, possibly more.

But as far as the TAB, and punters, are concerned, the premiership could well be over and the winnings spent by then. - NZME

■ OTAKI

Racing manners key for Veuve Clicquot Racing manners will be all-important for Veuve Clicquot when she lines up in the NZB Insurance Pearl Series at Otaki today.

The Rock ‘N’ Pop two-year-old has really impressed her trainer Tony Bambry, who purchased her out of Mapperley Stud’s draft at the 2016 NZB Select sale for $12,000.

“I’d seen her on a parade around the studs in January in the Waikato,” he said.

“I spotted her there and thought she was the nicest filly I’d seen the whole time I was looking at the 500-600 horses.

“I couldn’t believe I got her for the money I paid.

“She’s got a wonderful phy-

sique, a big strong filly with a lot of natural muscle on her.”

A lack of trial and jump out opportunities in the Central Districts showed in her first start at Trentham on June 10 when she raced greenly to finish third.

“I raced two that day that should have been going to the trials, but there has just been nothing for them,” Bambry said.

“I know she has heaps of ability, but she just hasn’t had any practice.

“We had three lots (of trials) at Foxton all abandoned in a row.

“We haven’t been able to have jump outs.

“It makes it really hard trying to get these two-year-olds ready for

Ashburton Guardian 23

Tony Bambry the races without having some experience.”

Despite Veuve Clicquot’s lack of experience, Bambry rates the

two-year-old filly’s chances in today’s 1200m race.

“I rate her chances.

“It’s quite a good field with trial winners and Graeme Rogerson is bringing one down from the north,” he said.

“The blinkers are going on her tomorrow, just to get her focused.

“If she runs straight I think she is a really good chance.”

Bambry believes that Veuve Clicquot could potentially be a classic contender next season.

“If she could perform well we’d look at toward heading to Christchurch in November.

“She’s that sort of filly, she’s going to get over ground.” - NZME

Dynamic gets the nod Riccarton trainers Michael and Matthew Pitman hold a strong hand in the open sprint on their home track on Saturday. They will be represented in the Thompson Handicap by the in-form pair of Flying Ibis and Dynamic, with the latter getting the nod. “Dynamic is such an honest horse and he is more of a 1200 metre type than Flying Ibis,” Michael Pitman said. “He’s come through the grades quickly and the claim helps.”

- NZME

Future undecided The unbeaten Manhattan Flame’s future has yet to be confirmed. The Shane Crawford-trained threeyear-old followed up his Woodville debut win with an impressive victory at Pukekohe Park on Wednesday for Hong Kong owner Tony Chan. “Whether he passes a vet to get up there we’ll have to wait and see,” Crawford said.

- NZME

Redefine in good touch Redefine gives Rachael Frost a chance of further success on her home track today. The Otaki horsewoman, who also shares in the ownership of the outstanding Kevin Myers-trained jumper Sea King, prepared the Captain Rio gelding for a last-start win and a repeat beckons in the Vets on Riverbank Handicap. “He’s done well since Wanganui and he’s a pretty handy horse,” Frost said.

- NZME

Harris sets lofty goals Impending fatherhood has motivated Troy Harris to make another fist of his riding career. The 29-yearold Cambridge jockey was a former champion apprentice and dual Group One-winning rider before losing the battle to keep his weight under control. He took to jumps riding with success, but has made an impressive transition to flat racing in recent months as a sleeker, trimmer jockey, capped by a winning double at Pukekohe. “My fitness is good. My weight is good.

I’ve been working hard on it,” said Harris, whose partner Chantelle is due to give birth to the couple’s first child in October.

- NZME

Double-pronged attack Andrew Carston has set stable runners significant home and away targets this weekend. The Riccarton trainer will be represented by the last-start winner Pretty Good Excuse in Saturday’s Greenwood Amberley Cup while Meursault has gone north to tackle the Listed Seeka Tauranga Classic. Meursault is in a consistent run of form with a stakes placing in the Listed Great Easter Stakes before she finished fourth in the North Island Challenge Stakes at Trentham. - NZME

■ DEXTER DUNN

Betting merger

Record beckons for champion reinsman

Racing Queensland has applauded the Australian Competition Tribunal’s decision to to approve the $11 billion merger of Tabcorp and Tatts Group. The decision was handed down at the Federal Court this week.

RQ chief executive Eliot Forbes said the Tabcorp/Tatts combination would deliver a big bonus for the Queensland racing industry.

“RQ signed a deed of understanding with Tabcorp in March to ensure that the merger would bring meaningful benefits to the Queensland racing industry.”

- AAP

What looked possible a week ago now looks almost certain for champion Kiwi reinsman Dexter Dunn.

The sensation of the sulky went into last weekend’s racing needing 22 more wins from around 17 South Island race meetings to break his own national record of 220 wins in a season, more than

any other horseperson of either code.

But after a seven-win streak, Dunn would be long odds-on to set a new mark before he misses the last weekend of the season on his way to the World Drivers Champs.

Before last Thursday Dunn sat on 199 wins but then reeled off

four wins at Forbury Park, two at Addington the next night and one at Oamaru on Sunday.

That puts him on 206 for the season, needing just 15 to break his record – just over one per meeting in the 14 he expects to drive at in the next five weeks.

That started at Forbury Park last night as well as the two-day

Marlborough meetings on the weekend likely to provide at least a handful of wins.

So setting a new record now looks near certain and if (when) Dunn does, it will come as a double achievement as that 221st win would also be his 2000th in New Zealand, joining a club with four other members.

In brief

Noise pollution a weapon The British and Irish Lions intend to bombard the All Blacks line-out with extreme “noise pollution” in the first test as part of their bid to overwhelm the world champions with a pressure game.

George Kruis, the England lock who is set for a place in the Lions starting XV said the tourists would “try anything” to gain an edge against the world champions - including several of their forwards screaming at their opposite numbers during an All Black line-out.

One of the striking features of the Lions game plan during their tour of New Zealand is several of their forwards, most notably England lock Maro Itoje, screaming just as their opponents are attempting to throw the ball into a line-out.

George Kruis, who is expected to be named in the second row alongside his Saracens teammate Itoje, for the first test at Eden Park admitted the Lions were prepared to do all that it takes to disrupt the All Blacks line-out.

“You’ve got to put pressure on players somehow and that’s one way of putting pressure on them,” said Kruis when asked about the Lions vocal assault on their Super Rugby opponents ahead of the first test at Eden Park.

“The ideal thing is to get in the air and contest but we want to be a complete pack so we’ll try everything.

“If we think there’s anything in it, then we’ll pursue it.”

When the Lions last toured New Zealand, their assistant coach Andy Robinson was so concerned that New Zealand had cracked the tourists’ line-out codes that they were changed in the week before the first test,

ALL BLACKS Joe Moody, Codie Taylor, Owen Franks, Brodie Retallick, Samuel Whitelock, Jerome Kaino, Sam Cane, Kieran Read, Aaron Smith,

Bolter from the blue Rieko Ioane has been handed what must be considered a shock start on the left wing for the All Blacks in the first test against the British and Irish Lions at Eden Park. The Blues wing starts his first test in his third appearance for the All Blacks in place of regular 11 Julian Savea, who has been left out of the squad.

It is a huge vote of confidence in the 20-year-old Ioane, who has been in excellent form for Tana Umaga’s Blues but who struggled to make an impact in the New Zealand Maori defeat to the Lions in Rotorua last Saturday.

- NZME

No bullying, says Hansen Steve Hansen will meet with referee Jaco Peyper ahead of the first test against the Lions. But Hansen doesn’t want to say any more than that. Whatever he wants to talk about will remain between him and Peyper. To go public he says would be akin to bullying the referee – something he doesn’t think would be fair and something that ultimately he thinks will be counter productive. And by suggesting it would be bullying, he has implied that Lions coach Warren Gatland is guilty of that very behaviour.

PHOTO PA with disastrous consequences.

The Lions lost 10 of their lineouts as the All Blacks closed out a comprehensive victory in Christchurch as Sir Clive Woodward’s side went on to lose the series 3-0.

Kruis, who will call the Lions line-out in the first test at Eden Park insisted that 12 years on the tourists have such a multitude of options at the line-out that the codes are now uncrackable.

“I hope we don’t have to change our calls,” Kruis added.

“We’ve built a good platform as a base for the calls. You tweak Beauden Barrett, Rieko Ioane, Sonny Bill Williams, Ryan Crotty, Israel Dagg, Ben Smith.

Reserves: Nathan Harris, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Scott Barrett, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Aaron Cruden / Lima Sopoaga, Anton Lienert-Brown.

your patterns for each game but essentially most line-outs have a base. Once you’ve analysed the opposition, you tweak it, but we’ve shown we’re there or there abouts. We’ve played three, four, five games together now and we’re starting to learn scenarios.”

The evolution of the line-out calls, under-pinned by the Lions guru Steve Borthwick is such that even if the All Blacks seem to have cracked their codes, the tourists now have the ability to adapt unlike they were able to do in 2005 to mix it up.

“If you look at stats, they’re the best in attack and second best in defence. We know they’ve got five or six good jumpers and they’ll always pressure your deliveries if they don’t get the ball in itself.

“Good teams have come down here and won the ball but not provided great delivery to their nines and 10s.

“We want to be a great team and win ball and get good delivery.”

Owen Farrell will start ahead of Johnny Sexton as the British and Irish Lions’ playmaker-in-chief for their first test against the All Blacks.

The 25-year-old Farrell has been kept under wraps with a thigh strain this week, missing the side’s 32-10 win over the Maori ABs, but has recovered in time to start at first five-eighth tomorrow. He’ll line up alongside Irishman Conor Murray in the halves, as the Lions look to secure their first test match victory in New Zealand since 1993. - NZME

Fear factor played down The All Blacks are trying to dismiss their phenomenal record at Eden Park, which looms large over the three-test series against the British and Irish Lions. Tomorrow’s first test will played at the Auckland venue where the back-to-back world champions have won 37 successive tests since 1994. But Ian Foster doubts the Lions will be overawed by the Eden Park record, believing it is little more than a statistical sidenote.

In brief Celtic squash champs The Celtic Squash Club will wrap up its annual club championships tonight, with all the finals being played at the Keenans Road clubrooms. In the men’s A grade John McDonnell will again be defending his title, after disposing of Nick Marshall in their semi, and he will face newcomer Kevin Milne, who looked very sharp in toppling Pete Bryant to make the final. Chris O’Reilly and Glen Ralston will fight it out for B grade honours, a fair gauge on the increasingly higher levels of squash in the club in recent seasons. Difficult to pick a winner in the C grade between Ron Carlson, who knocked over top seed Pete Blacklow, and Jimmy Hunn, who beat Eelke Dijkstra in their semi. Jordan Hooper and Steve Devereux will do battle in the D grade final. Top seeds Kirsty Clay and Rebecca Abernethy will meet in the ladies A final, while Kyla Murphy has already claimed the ladies B grade title.

Ash Coll in cruise mode

By JaiMe Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

After dominating the early passages, the Ashburton College netball team cruised to 29-22 victory against Rangi Ruru Girls’ School in the SuperNet competition at the EA Networks Centre on Wednesday evening.

“I was really happy, I thought we played confidently and we kept control of the game throughout,” said coach Angela Mitchell.

The Ash Coll side jumped out of the gates, scoring five unanswered goals and generally dominated the first quarter, ending it with an 11-3 lead.

“We know what it is like having

to turn up, get out of the van and hit the court,” said Mitchell.

“It took them a quarter to get going and we made the most of that.”

Rangi Ruru took the initiative in the second quarter, closing Ash Coll’s lead to four points with a half-time score of 16-12.

“Defensively they really challenged what we did in the first quarter, and I just don’t think we reacted to that change quickly enough,” she said.

“Something we continue to work on is how we react to different situations and different styles of defence.”

Mitchell said she was pleased with how her team controlled

the speed in the second half of the match, always keeping Rangi Ruru at arm’s length until the final whistle.

One of the many standout performers for the College side was goal shoot Grace Wilson, who tormented the Rangi defenders all night long.

“We’ve tried in the past week or so to look in to Grace early and she is a really great target for us, and she has been finding great space for herself,” said Mitchell.

“She dominated, asked for the ball and did a great job, it was great shooting.”

Mitchell said she was most proud however of the team performance in general.

“It is great to be able to put nine girls out there in different combinations and you know they will all at least play half a game,” she said.

“We do have a well-rounded team this year and that is exciting for us as we head in to the South Island tournament.”

Being the first home SuperNet game in Mitchell’s time coaching the College side, she said having the crowd support was great.

“We are really appreciative of Mid Canterbury Netball allowing us to host the game in Ashburton, it was great for the College staff and the girls’ families to be able to watch SuperNet here,” she said.

All Whites go close to massive upset

By Michael Burgess It was hard to sum up the depth of disappointment among the All Whites team after their 2-1 loss to Mexico yesterday.

It was a match that New Zealand deserved more – so much more – but ended with just the pride that comes from such a performance.

Everyone, from coach Anthony Hudson and captain Chris Wood, to the junior members of the

squad, struggled to find the right words to express themselves in the wake of the game.

In time the New Zealand team will appreciate the performance, but hours after the game the emotion was too raw.

As they filed out of Fisht arena at close to midnight, the realisation was beginning to sink in about how close they had been to a significant upset.

The All Whites dominated the first half, creating several chanc-

es while taking one to Wood in the 42nd minute.

They had further chances early in the second half to make it 2-0, with Wood going extremely close, which would have completely changed the complexion of the match.

“I’m incredibly disappointed,” said Hudson. “It was a huge performance; we showed quality, we showed spirit and I really believe we should have got more from the game. To be honest I’m absolutely

gutted. I have a real feeling of ‘too little too late’ with this tournament.”

Captain Wood echoed those sentiments.

“We should have got a lot more from that game,” said Wood. “We had our chances, we needed to be more clinical and it would have been a different outcome.”

The match almost descended into farce late, as a crude Mexican foul sparked a near all-in brawl between the benches.

Before he makes a call on next year, Nick Riewoldt craves what has been missing from his AFL life for the last five. As speculation continues about his playing future, the 34-year-old says his focus is helping St Kilda return to the finals for the first time since 2011.

The Saints legend successfully returned from a knee injury last Friday in the crucial win over North Melbourne and said post-match he wants to continue next year. - AAP

Stars out to play Some of the biggest names in golf are giving up what for many is normally a week off after a major championship to play on the PGA Tour’s latest event. Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Bubba Watson are among those in Connecticut this week, giving the Travelers Championship an unusually strong field. Also helping is a new policy that requires players to add one tournament they have not played in the past four years, provided they played fewer than 25 events last season.

Ronaldo scores again Cristiano Ronaldo headed an early winner as Portugal beat hosts Russia 1-0 in the Confederations Cup to go top of Group A and spoil Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev’s 100th cap. European champions Portugal took the lead when captain Ronaldo headed a precise cross by Raphael Guerreiro past Akinfeev in the eighth minute and then held on as a re-energised Russia created chances in the second half.

Papadopoulos re-signs Star goalkeeper Michael Theo has re-signed with Brisbane Roar in a boost for their next A-League campaign. The club has also retained defender Avram Papadopoulos’ services for another 12 months after his mid-season arrival early this year. Melbourne-born Papadopoulos played seven games at centreback during the semi- finalists’ 2016-17 season, providing cover for Luke De Vere and Jade North.

Theo, who’s played 166 games for the Roar, could become the club’s third-most capped player ever by next season’s end.

Dobson Street West Ph: 307 8302 Hours: Mon-Fri: 7.30am - 5pm Sat: 7.30am - 12 noon

By Emma KEmp James Maloney has taken exception to Andrew Johns’ scathing verdict that NSW played dumb football and failed to target a visibly injured Johnathan Thurston in the second half of Wednesday night’s State of Origin II loss.

Veteran five-eighth Maloney admits the Blues lost their way in the extraordinary fade-out against Queensland and only hoped it would drive them to overturn more than a decade of series-decider misery at Suncorp Stadium next month.

Johns let rip after the 18-16 loss, blasting “the dumbest half of football NSW have played” that blew a deserved 16-6 halftime lead at ANZ Stadium.

“I wouldn’t say dumb footy,” Maloney countered yesterday.

“I think we lost our way and probably didn’t play how we needed to.

“We started going laterally and lost a lot of our punch. We need to fix that up.

“But we knew all along we’d decide the result and we did, it was just the wrong way.”

Johns took particular issue with the Blues’ failure to target Thurston, who was clearly struggling with a shoulder injury before he slotted the match-winning conversion.

NRL immortal and Blues legend Johns said the fact NSW didn’t “go at him the whole game” was “rubbish”.

“I think we got him at times,” Maloney said. “You can’t get bogged down chasing one guy.

“We had a lot of success wearing their middles out.

“When we did that and put them in a corner they lost a lot of options, their backs had to come in and carry them out of trouble so they had no one to move the ball to.”

Despite coach Laurie Daley’s refereeing misgivings, Maloney absolved the whistleblowers of blame.

According to Maloney, decisions against the Blues “didn’t decide the game, we decided the game and we needed to be better”.

“If we had have got to completions in

James Maloney that last 15 minutes it would have been a different story.

“We seemed to get to halfway and have a turnover, and when we got down there they got a penalty, so they seemed to spend 15 minutes in our end.

“They’re too good a side, you give them opportunities time and time again and eventually they’ll get the job done.”

Maloney was more intent on proving NSW’s restored underdog tag wrong in the July 12 finale, when the Maroons will attempt to farewell champion Thurston a winner at home.

The Blues have lost the past six Origin deciders dating back to the beginning of the Maroons reign in 2006, Thurston’s second series in the interstate arena.

“The disappointment hurts but I think that can drive you.

“We don’t want to feel like this after game three so it gives us a bit of motivation,” Maloney said.

“We were better than them in game one, and I thought we were better last night without getting the job done.

“So there’s no reason we can’t be again.”

Warriors’ time to shine

By StEvE ZEmEK The Warriors appear poised to rocket up the ladder into NRL finals contention in the coming weeks with stats showing the State of Origin period is their time to shine.

According to numbers provided by Fox Sports Stats, the Warriors’ winning percentage during Origin over the past five seasons has been double compared to the rest of the year.

Since 2013, the Warriors have won at 37.74 per cent before the Origin player drain sets in and at 26.67 per cent in the period post Origin III. In the period that includes the week before Origin I up until the end of the interstate series they have won at 74.07 per cent – or 20 of 27 matches.

Their winning rate during Origin is the best in the competition, however, they are ranked 15th – only ahead of Newcastle – for pre-Origin wins and 16th for post Origin wins.

At a time of year when most sides must do without their best players, the Warriors have lost no players to Queensland or NSW duty.

On Friday night Canterbury trio Josh Jackson, Brett Morris and David Klemmer are racing the clock to back up less than 48 hours after Origin II in Sydney, to take on the Warriors in Auckland.

The Warriors have failed to make the competition’s top eight in all of the past five years and have gone through no less than three head coaches during that time.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Stop overthinking. Make a move. Whether a move is wrong or right, it tells you what the next move should be. This will stop you going in circles in your head and get you going in a straight line.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re being marketed to by those who want you to choose their products or services. Market to yourself. It works.

Surround yourself with symbols and messages about what you want yourself to choose.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Fear is energy that can be directed in a positive way, but that’s not how it’s used very often. To direct your fear well, keep reminding yourself of what it is you want to achieve, and breathe toward that aim.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Long blocks of focused, uninterrupted concentration are necessary to accomplish anything worthwhile. Something (or more likely someone) is preventing you having time to focus – remedy this.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Risking rejection is no fun (even for extroverts) but it must be faced in the name of progress. Go where the opportunities are and make friends. If you don’t know where they are, go where you think they are.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): As the mountain cradles the lake, your earth-sign nature will hold a water-sign individual very dear. These are the Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer people, and they could really use someone with your reliability.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Sometimes you wonder if you’re too brave. You’ve been known to jump into the spotlight unprepared, but that’s better than missing out. Opportunities usually don’t wait around until you’re ready for them.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The people who have the best perspective about the job will be the ones who have done it. Go to ground level, (unless the ones at the top started at the bottom and have worked their way all through).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): What you pay attention to loves you back. When you give attention to your deeper feelings and the subconscious layers of yourself, too, you start feeling more resoundingly fulfilled.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The tools used to create will be a focus, but don’t be fooled; the tools do not make the creation. Creativity is in the head and heart. Fancy, expensive tools can actually work against the art.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Customs matter – but not really. Following the right movements in correct order will show respect. Once you’ve earned a place, protocol becomes less important.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’re being flattered. That doesn’t mean the compliments aren’t true; it means your flatterer is greasing the gears.

One person’s dishonesty is another person’s clever navigation of complex times.

Villa chasing Terry English championship club Aston Villa are making a determined effort to bring former England and Chelsea skipper John Terry to the club. Owner Tony Xia said yesterday he would not enter into a public conversation about the possible signing of the former England captain. However, PA understands talks have taken place between Villa and the Terry camp with a view to the move becoming a reality. The club has not commented on reports that Terry, 36, is close to signing a STG60,000-a-week deal.

Mid Canterbury will look to start their season off with a bang as they build up to their Ranfurly Shield challenge against Canterbury on August 4. Skipper Eric Duff will likely be at the forefront of all the action.

Shield challenge a reality

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

While Canterbury were busy defending the Ranfurly Shield in a 71-5 victory against Wanganui on Wednesday evening, Mid Canterbury co-coach Craig Dunlea didn’t have much time to study his future opposition.

Mid Canterbury are set to host Canterbury in a Shield challenge on August 4, with the wheels of pre-season already turning.

“I haven’t actually seen the Wanganui game yet as I wasn’t able to watch it because we had training,” he said.

“I thought it would’ve been a bit closer than that to be honest, but until seeing their game and

knowing where they dominated, I can’t really comment.”

Having never held the shield, Dunlea is hoping that his side will be able to build from their challenge against Hawkes Bay in 2015.

“Fifty-five minutes in to the game we were leading 12-11, and things were going good, but the boys had just given everything and ran out of steam,” he said.

Currently working with an extended training squad, Dunlea said the main focus is working on patterns and shapes, as well as getting the guys fit and ready to play at the level of a shield game.

“It is not every day you get the chance to play for the Ranfurly Shield, so it is just trying to get the guys in the right shape and the right mind.

“I believe we’ve got a side that we can put together to go out there and have a real crack at them and do themselves proud,” he said.

“We’ve got some exciting backs and some real honest workers up front, so if we can get the backs enough ball, they’ll be good enough to compete with anyone.”

Mid Canterbury will have two tastes of action ahead of the clash with Canterbury, playing Ellesmere in 11 days’ time, and

Southland one week before the shield match.

Dunlea said it would be good to have more matches as a squad, but the local club football and the Watters Cup is important and must be respected.

“A good proportion of the players will come from the teams that play in the Watters Cup final,” he said. “That will be a tough match, then we’ve got Southland which will be another tough game and that will hopefully be quite good preparation.”

Dunlea said he expects to name a squad of 28 after the Watters Cup final, which will contest the shield match and the Heartland Championship.

Tweaking ‘to make the boat go faster’ Team New Zealand’s boat could become even faster.

The team is tweaking Aotearoa as they approach crunch time in the finals of the America’s Cup against Oracle Team USA. Tactician Ray Davies said

they’re working on a long list of changes to crank up the boat’s speed – from tuning the wing to adjusting rudders.

And Emirates Team New Zealand performance coach Murray Jones – who helped mastermind

Oracle’s amazing come-frombehind win against TNZ in San Francisco in 2013 – has confirmed the tweaks should make the boat go faster.

“Today was really just the boys polishing up on sailing the boat

accurately and manoeuvres,” Jones said.

“We did a lot of really good manoeuvres today. It was lightish breeze so it was quite good to do that within the marginal conditions, so it was good.” - NZME

New mum back on court Former top-ranked Victoria Azarenka has made a triumphant return to tennis after a year out to have a baby – but she first had to save three match points at the Mallorca Open.

Azarenka beat Japan’s Risa Ozaki, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (9-7) in the first-round match that started late on Wednesday but was halted due to darkness.

“There were a lot of ups and downs, good shots and then easy mistakes; that’s something to expect after a long break, but definitely something I need to work on,” Azarenka said.

Bairstow leads England Jonny Bairstow struck a sublime unbeaten 60 to lead England to a dominant nine-wicket victory over South Africa in the first Twenty20 international in Southampton. South Africa chose to bat and laboured to 3-142 before Bairstow and Alex Hales shared a superb unbroken secondwicket partnership of 98 to guide the hosts to their target with 5.3 overs to spare. “I’m trying to progress all the time and I played a few shots I didn’t have a few months ago,” man of the match Bairstow said.
