Norris tips Wallabies’ World Cup win Actor and martial arts star Chuck Norris has tipped the Wallabies to beat the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup final - and who are we to argue? “The Wallabies are going to have the power of Chuck Norris’ spirit there to help them win the game and they are going to win the World Cup,” Norris told the Today Show. Norris was asked to comment on the game after Today’s Tim Gilbert told TVNZ’s Rawdon Christie that the All Blacks would need the help of Norris if they wanted to win.

Usher inspired by son’s diabetes bravery Usher says he is in awe of his seven-year-old son as he battles diabetes. The singer’s child, Usher V, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2014 and now his proud dad has opened up about what it’s like to watch the boy inject himself with insulin daily. “I have a greater deal of appreciation for the bravery that children his age have. “A child that every day has to prick himself and has to be cautious of what he eats and also to carry this disorder around – that really is the type of bravery that we all aspire to have,” Usher, now an advocate for a cure for the disease, told People.com. “There’s been some difficult moments. “I have a great deal of understanding of what people have to deal with. It’s personal.” The Yeah! singer plans to be a big part of National Diabetes Awareness Month in November, adding, “I want to be supportive not only as someone who’s vying for a cure, but also as a father who has a child who’s experienced a lot of highs and lows.”

Already home to a ski hill inside a mall, the sunbaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates soon may be home to a snow park too. Officials with Abu Dhabi’s Reem Mall, scheduled to open in 2018, say they plan to build a 11,600-square-metre snow park inside the mall. In a statement, the developers say the park will include opportunities to luge and “zorbing” — which, for the uninitiated, involves rolling down a hill in a giant ball made of transparent plastic. In Dubai, the Mall of the Emirates is already home to an indoor, snow-covered ski hill and penguin shows. Reem Mall, anticipated to cost $1 billion, is being developed by Kuwait-based National Real Estate Co. and the United Projects for Aviation Services Co.

Foo Fighters counting down Foo Fighters fans are trying to figure out what’s behind a mysterious online countdown the group has set up online.

The American band tweeted a photo of their logo inside a Route 66 crest that sits above a ticking countdown, which will end on November 23. Some fans speculate this could mean the Foo Fighters will release a second Sonic Highway documentary series.

Earlier this year, frontman Dave Grohl told NME there would be a second series which “might or might not be international”.

Other fans think the rockers will announce they’ll be playing the massive Super Bowl 50 halftime show on February 7, 2016.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

‘No vision for agriculture’

By NadiNe Porter

NadiNe.P@theguardiaN.co.Nz

There is no clear vision and leadership for New Zealand agriculture from Central Government - creating a growing level of frustration across rural communities according to Labour MP Damien O’Connor.

Attending the Ashburton A&P Show yesterday, the party spokesperson for Primary Industries said the Government takes the rural sector for granted.

“And assume through Primary Growth Partnership (PGP) money where they’ve thrown $700 million to leaders in the sector that they will continue to do their cheerleading.”

The PGP was set up as a joint venture between government and industry to invest in longterm agricultural innovation programmes to increase market success in primary industries.

However Mr O’Connor was scathing of the programme, citing a report by the auditor general earlier this year that said it lacked transparency and suffered from poor record keeping.

“The auditor general reported there had been no identifiable benefit from projects nearly half way through and couldn’t identify the projects granted as being truly innovative.”

Most of the $700 million spent had been wasted, he said, and promised should Labour win the election next year that he would review what money was left to be allocated - if there was any.

Mr O’Connor said his first priority if Labour becomes the new Government would be to facilitate a Council for Primary Industry that would work alongside cabinet and identify a shared vision for the primary sectors.

“That council would work with

Damien O’Connor each sector to develop a strategic plan that builds on and protects our brand and generates more value from what we do.”

Recently returned Nuffield agricultural scholars had identified the New Zealand primary sector

hasn’t been doing what it should in terms of branding our position and products to build a better export sector, he said.

“It’s crucial that government doesn’t define the solutions but facilitate the changes that need

to happen. There needs to be a vision and strategic plan for each of the sectors that work together and co-ordinate under a brand that builds the value of everything we produce.”

New Zealand was no longer the lowest cost producer of any products in the international market place and the challenges of export distance have to be met by having higher values in the market place, he said.

“If there is truly a belief (in Government) that just the market will determine our future, than we are taking a big risk … The Government is saying there’s an increasing world population, more people want protein, therefore New Zealand is sitting pretty but it’s a very naïve position to take given that we can produce more, but if we don’t do it profitably by protecting our brand then we have a very short-term future.”

■ GYPSY VANNERS

A rare beauty in black and white

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.N@theguardiaN.co.Nz

A rare and mystical bred of horses was exhibited for the first time at this year’s Ashburton A&P Show.

Owner of the Rangiora-based Gypsy Royal stud Lynda Boulton had eight Gypsy Vanners entered.

“It was very good of the Ashburton show to give us some classes,” she said.

As the name suggests the breed was developed by gypsies looking for a sturdy, compact work horse, by crossing Shire draught horses with Dartmoor ponies.

Ms Boulton began breeding Gypsy Vanners in 2009, after

importing the basis of her stock from the US. Well-feathered legs, a long mane and tail and good movement define a champion, and Gypsy Royal Firefly (right) showed all the form necessary to wear the grand champion’s sash in yesterday’s competition.

“They are known as golden retrievers with hooves,” Ms Boulton said.

“They are great natured and make wonderful family pets, they are very versatile and kind.

“They move beautifully and are good at dressage – they also love to jump.”

The Gypsy Royal stud only breeds purebred vanners, which are distinct from Gypsy Cobs.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Glasgow leases under scrutiny

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When the Ashburton District Council freeholds its Glasglow leased properties, ratepayers, rather than the buyer, should be the winner, district councillors have decided.

While a fair price for property sales is often determined by a two valuation system that may go to mediation, at a council meeting on Thursday, councillors decided to stick with the current process of setting a price and sticking with it.

The council owns more than 120 Glasgow leased parcels of land that include residential, industrial, commercial and rural

lots. Over the years more than 35 parcels have been freeholded to lessees or tenants. Each sale has been initiated by the lessee, not the landlord.

At Thursday’s council meeting, businessman Graham Kennedy suggested the council adopted a fair market value approach to freeholding commercial land, using two valuers, appointed by the lessee and the council.

“I’m making these comments as a person with a strong desire to see the Ashburton CBD move forward. The two valuer process provides a much better way to determine fair market value, not a discounted value,” he said.

The post earthquake environ-

ment had changed values in the inner town and with some of Ashburton’s inner town buildings sitting on Glasgow leased land, Mr Kennedy suggested some people might want to freehold their land before undertaking earthquake repair work on their building.

That would make it important to obtain a new valuation that was appropriate to the post earthquake environment, he said.

Council business support manager Paul Brake said the council was not an active seller of its Glasgow leases and that sales were initiated by the potential buyer.

“We set the price to maximise the value for the ratepayers. We

offer it at our valuation and it’s up to them to accept – or not,” he said.

If a lessee opted to make a counter offer, then it would be up to councillors whether this was accepted or rejected, Mr Brake said.

The two valuer system could see an arbitrator called in to make a decision, but that final decision should be made by the council, not a third party, he said.

Mr Brake recommended that council staff take stock of all of its Glasgow leases and report to councillors with recommendations on the long term benefits of holding or selling any of these.

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

Show day success for young crafter

BY MICHELLE NELSON

MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Jessica Cowan has a lot to smile about.

The 12-year-old Ashburton Borough School pupil had a great day with her entries in the home industries pavilion at the Ashburton A&P Show yesterday.

In her fourth year of exhibiting, Jessica took the premier rosette for a beanie she had made in her school technology class.

But her winning haul didn’t end there.

Jessica also won first place with her gluten free slices, second prize for her present tag and a highly commended award for a toolbox – also made in her technology class.

The versatile young crafter and baker loves to create in her spare time.

“Some of the entries were already made ahead of time, and I just touched them up, others were

last-minute jobs,” she said.

This year’s success follows on from last year, where Jessica also took home a swag of prizes for her baking and craft items.

“I also did Junk to Funk last year,” she said.

With this year’s competitions done and dusted Jessica is sure to be back with a new selection when show time rolls around again in 2016.

Home Industries Pavilion coordination Marion Brown said across the board entries were similar to last year, resulting in a good display for public viewing.

“Some areas are up and some down but it averages out, last year it was cupcakes in the schools’ section, this year art has been more popular,” she said.

The silverware for the section will be presented at the dancing stage at 4pm today.

Police notebook Police, fire and ambulance attended a vehicle collision on the corner of Walnut Avenue and West Street at 2.07pm yesterday. Sergeant Bryan Ennis, of Ashburton, said two vehicles travelling north caused a minor nose-to-tail crash. Damage occurred to one of the cars but there were no injuries. It was too early to say whether anyone would be charged, he said.

Seven incidents Ashburton’s St John ambulance attended seven medical-related incidents in the AshburtonMethven area on Thursday.

Work under way Site preparation work for the new Acute Admitting Unit at Ashburton Hospital has begun. Canterbury District Health Board chief executive David Meates outlined in his weekly CEO update that the first step was to remove all the soil before creating a foundation slab with reinforcing steel and concrete.

Also under way is the refurbishment of upper level Ward 3 (Block C). This work started is expected to be completed this year. Ward 3 also underwent some exterior refurbishment this year and in June the main ward block’s roof had been replaced and exterior painted. The tentative completion date for all rebuild and refurbishment work at Ashburton Hospital is set for mid-2016. The rebuild and renovation is funded jointly by the Canterbury District Health Board ($7.2 million) and a group of local charities ($1.5 million).

Ashburton’s Hakatere River trail will see some heavy traffic tomorrow when cyclists and pedestrians test drive the track in a summer starter open day.

The Ashburton District Council-run event is about encouraging people to try the track and to enjoy what it has to offer for both walkers and cyclists, said organising committee member district councillor Ken Cutforth.

Over 19 kilometres in length, the track runs east from the Ashburton River Bridge to the Hakatere Huts settlement, with an additional stretch developed for mountain bikers running west to Melrose Road.

Organiser Jenny Kettley said the group, which consisted people from two classes, would be having a meal at the Ashburton Club & MSA tonight. There would be people from as far away as Australia, Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin and Oamaru. Out of 66 students, who left the school in 1960, 33 would be attending, she said. The group had their last reunion 10 years ago but before then had been meeting every five years since 1990.

Those taking part can ride or walk as much or as little of the track as they want, with return transport options available at several points along the way and from the track’s end at Hakatere. There will also be a barbecue at Hakatere.

Cyclists will head out from Mania-o-Roto Park on Chalmers Avenue at 10am followed by runners and then walkers, 30 minutes later.

The event is non-competitive, but spot prizes will be handed out to participants along the way, Mr Cutforth said.

Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade were called to Rakaia Highway north of Chertsey yesterday after a calf was hit by a car. Deputy chief fire officer Tyrone Burrowes said several calves had escaped from a stock truck and one was hit by a passing vehicle. Firefighters were called to help clear the road at 6.44am.

Patient transfer The Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade closed Elizabeth Avenue for a short period yesterday afternoon, to allow the Westpac Rescue Helicopter access to the medical centre for a patient transfer.

Deputy chief fire officer Tyrone Burrowes said the road was only closed for a short period as an ambulance was not available to transfer the patient to the domain, the helicopters usual landing spot.

■ NEW LIFE CHURCH

Sid Bentley’s memory to live on

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Sid Bentley may have died in June, but his memory will live on in Ashburton’s New Life Church.

In the final years of his life, Mr Bentley, father of Kirsty, who was murdered in Ashburton in December 1998, became an active member of the New Life Church and in his will left half of the sale price of his home to his church.

The Cancer Society of New Zealand was beneficiary of the

remaining half of the house sale while money and personal possessions were left to four friends.

His son John was excluded from the will.

New Life Church pastor Lisa Anderson discovered the church’s charity was a beneficiary shortly after Mr Bentley’s death and said she was stunned at the time to find the church had been included.

“Charities are generally just sent a letter if they’re a beneficiary but

because of our relationship with Sid they (Public Trust) asked us to be there for the reading of his will.

We were shocked and surprised, we’d never had a conversation with Sid about his will,” Mrs Anderson said.

While the church could benefit by more than $100,000 from the sale of Mr Bentley’s South Street home, Mrs Anderson said until the money was in their charity account they wouldn’t be making any plans for its use.

“I’d love to know why he chose us, but I understand he loved the church and felt very connected with us,” she said.

She was aware that his son John had been left out of the will but said the reasons for that were between John and Sid. “Wills can be contested and we’re just taking this whole thing lightly at the moment.”

However much the church’s bequest, Mrs Anderson said the money would be used to honour

Sid’s memory and it would be used to give back to the community.

Kirsty Bentley disappeared in the Ashburton Riverbed on New Year’s Eve 1998 while walking her dog.

A massive search was mounted and her body was found about two weeks later in a gully in the Rakaia Gorge.

In spite of an intensive inquiry by police, no arrest has been made for her murder.

Methven residents are preparing to welcome trick or treaters from throughout their neighbourhoods as the practice becomes more popular in the town.

Tonight is Halloween and among residents getting ready are Athol and Sonia McAlpine. They are decorating their garage with frost cloth, fake spiders and other scary items, and will even have a smoke machine borrowed from their son’s DJ kit.

They will put a balloon outside their house to let trick or treaters know they are welcome, and will have plenty of individuallywrapped lollies and lolly pops on hand.

Mrs McAlpine would like to see other householders expecting trick or treaters to similarly put a balloon outside their home, to let groups of children know they are welcome.

“I think every year it gets a little bit more, and with it being a Saturday we thought we would make a little bit more of an effort. It’s just nice to see the kids out enjoying themselves,” Mrs McAlpine said.

Fellow town resident Liz McMillan agreed that celebrating Halloween was a growing practice

not be home would not have to worry about groups coming onto their property.

“As long as kids are respectful, most people are quite happy,” Ms McMillan said.

Methven ski lodge operator Clare Fairless is a keen Halloween supporter and is decorating her rural Mayfield home with husband Adrian and children Scarlet, three and a half, and Flyn, two. In line with her Irish heritage she will make barmbrack, a fruit loaf from which everyone cuts a slice to find a message inside of what the year ahead holds.

On Halloween night there will also be scary music, a witch piñata, babies’ heads with glowing eyes in trees down the driveway, a walking miniature zombie and other scary items, welcoming friends to a barbecue they are hosting on the night.

She would usually go trick or treating in Methven, but with guests in the lodge they would instead be staying home.

She would miss having trick or treaters arrive on her doorstep, as this was something she was used to, having come from England where Halloween was a big occasion.

■ BRAEBROOK PARK

Call for rubbish bins at Braebrook park

BY CAITLIN PORTER

CAITLIN.P@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Fed up with rubbish in her local playground a mini-greenie is doing her bit to keep Mid Canterbury beautiful.

Six-year-old Melissa O’Connor was at Braebook park in the Braebrook subdivision recently with her family when she spotted rubbish in the waterway near the playground.

“She went and started pulling the rubbish out and it wasn’t until she asked where to put it we realised there were no bins,” mum Gillian O’Connor said.

Concerned the rubbish would get in the way of the ducks paddling in the water, Melissa disposed of the rubbish at home at their house nearby.

A pupil at Ashburton Borough School, Melissa knows all about reusing, reducing and recycling and isn’t a fan of rubbish laying around on the street.

Now, the young advocate is determined to get a “couple” of bins installed at the park.

However, according to open spaces manager David Askin that is unlikely.

Mr Askin said the Ashburton District Council “did not have bins everywhere” but Melissa did the right thing by taking the rubbish with her.

Due to council encountering problems with litter bins at reserves with people opting to dump household rubbish and food scraps which can attract birds and vermin, there are no plans to place any bins at the Tuarangi Road park, he said.

Mr Askin said council would prefer residents who visit the park be responsible for their own rubbish, rather than leave it for others to deal with.

Guardian Farming Out next Tuesday!

Managing your water through another dry summer The irrigation season is now underway.

Predictions point to another hot, dry summer, so managing your water allocation well will be key.

There’s more to it than ramping up irrigation when it’s hot or near the end of the season. Irrigators need to start the season well, maintain performance and find out where you can save on operating costs.

A number of small, simple changes will make a big difference towards making sure your irrigation volume will see you through to March.

Inefficient irrigation at the start of the season can have a significant impact on seasonal sustainability:

Some simple early season calibration checks and maintenance can save a lot of water over the season.

Applying the right amount of water at the right time improves production and reduces the amount of irrigation required.

Mt Somers – something to Mt Somers has a special place in Mid Canterbury’s history. On the eve of the village’s 150th celebrations, Guardian reporter Michelle Nelson peeks into the past to reveal the present.

M

t Somers – a sleepy hamlet nestled in the Mid Canterbury foothills, was once a thriving community supporting numerous business.

The village was established in 1865, primarily to support the coal, clay, silica sand and limestone mines established in the hills behind the settlement.

The settlement and the mountain are said to be named after Lord Somers, a member of the Canterbury Association, and after a Bishop Somers, although no record can be found of either. It may possibly have been named after T. Somers Cocks, MP, a foundation member of the association.

By the time the village was settled several sheep runs were already operating further up the Ashburton Gorge.

Thomas Potts took up Hakatere Station in 1885, Clint Hills was established the following year, followed by Erewhon, now home to the famous Erewhon Clydesdales, in 1860. Anama and Buccleugh stations also came into being prior to settlement in the village.

From the onset stone from the Mt Somers quarries was in high demand. The historic Mt Peel Church was built of Mt Somers stone in 1870, and also features in the world famous Christchurch Cathedral.

In December 1874 a group of residents held a meeting which

heralded a new dawn for children in the district – in the form of formal education.

The original six-man committee recommended the purchase of land and after some wrangling the Ministry of Education finally accepted a tender for 590 pounds.

The Mt Somers Estate School opened in 1876 with a roll of eight pupils, which quickly climbed to 38. However attendance was patchy given the state of the roads and rivers to be forded.

At some stage the velocity of the winds which howl down the gorge forced the committee to turn the schoolhouse around to avoid further damage to the windows.

It was reported children were required to lie on the ground outside on several instances to avoid injury in the prevailing gales.

By the turn of the century the Mt Somers population had climbed to 923 people. By now the village was home to a number of accommodation houses, saddleries, a post office, a smithy and general stores, a library was founded and the Road Board was active.

The original post office was situated at the railway station, and later shifted into the town centre.

It now operates out of the remaining general store, currently operated by Jill Kerr.

Churches were also a feature of the village from the early years.

In an age where Sundays were

respected as a day of worship and rest, most of the mainstream religions were represented.

In the early days Mt Somers was linked to Ashburton, some 40km away, by rail. The line reached Mt Somers in 1886 and Springburn three years later.

While the train provided a passenger service, more importantly it opened the doors for farmers in the area to access markets at a time when road conditions were less than ideal.

From Mount Somers railway station a private bush tramway ran into the hills behind the town, providing access to the various industrial operations there. Relics of both the railway and tramway are still visible today.

The train stopped carrying passengers in 1933, and discontinued all services in 1967, with a special commemorative run in recognition of its importance in linking the once isolated community with the rest of the world.

At the time the Guardian reported on the late Jimmy McIvor’s knowledge of the line, gleaned over 60 years.

Mr McIvor had his first trip on the train as a schoolboy in the 1880s. Leaving school at 13, and after a short stint as a ploughman, he went to work on Anama Estate in 1894. One of his duties of the then 16-year-old cowboys was to run the mailbag to the train three times a week.

“I remember I used to hold the bag out and, as the train went past, the guard used to hold out his arm and loop it through the strap. One time I had only an envelope and the train nearly had to stop as it went past.

“The guard later told me I should have put the letter on a stick so he could grab it as he went past.”

Mr McIvor also recalled two amusing stories regarding a guard and an engineer. The guard was Billy Simpson, a prominent local

The Mt Somers bike race continues to grow in popularity and is on athlete, who was known to leap off the train and run alongside it as part of his training.

“On one trip the passengers were surprised when the train stopped nowhere near a station.

Out the window they saw the engineer picking up a hare he had shot as the train went along.”

On another evening the train was almost pulled up after two men, both of some importance and both with more than a little more alcohol on board, entered into “fisticuffs” in the course of a political argument.

Such debates were commonplace, and the line was colloquially known as the “political line”, according to Mr McIvor.

In 1921 a train derailed while on an excursion jaunt carrying school children. While injuries appear to have been confined to bumps and bruises the Guardian is quoted as saying: “Their first intimation that something was amiss came in the

shape of a steady bombardment of gravel cast up by a truck in front.

It attracted everybody’s attention and was at first regarded as an extraordinary hailstorm with stones of gigantic violence and sting.

“The error was quickly realised and the fact that something was off the line became obvious. The children watched developments with fascination and doubtless with twinges of alarm, although they did not reveal it.”

After much bickering and toing and froing between the Ministry of Education and the school committee a new school was built on the current site in 1920 to accommodate the growing roll.

It appears school closures and mergers are not a phenomenon confined to 21st century education – a proposal to amalgamate Mt Somers and Springburn schools met with resistance from members of both boards and the general public. Almost 80 years later the

matter was taken out of their hands and the two schools merged under the sweeping education reforms of 1990s.

These days about 2364 call the village home, according to 2013 census statistics but this number swells markedly in the summertime.

Last summer the population surge over the New Year period put extreme pressure on the village’s water supply and the Ashburton District Council was forced to implement emergency restrictions, limiting residents’ use of water to drinking, cooking and bathing only.

Due to its scenic location, close proximity to the Ashburton lakes and walkways, a large number of the original cottages now serve as holiday homes. Other people have built for that purpose.

The village is a launching pad for ecotours, helicopter, fishing and hunting trips, hot air bal-

looning and, for Tolkien fans, the journey to Edoras begins at Mt Somers.

While some mining activity continues, today the village sits in the middle of a thriving pastoral area.

Dairy, sheep and deer are farmed above and below the village.

The local pub is still a meeting place for locals, tourists and holidaymakers alike. Madeline and Sean Brown’s Stronechrubie restaurant has become a destination for foodies from afar, offering the best of locally sourced ingredients.

While the face of the village has changed over the 150 years since its inception, the heart of Mt Somers continues to beat deep and steady into the 21 century.

It is this spirit that residents will celebrate on November 7, with historical displays, bus tours and walks, old-fashioned games included in the programme, before a BYO plate and drink dance in the Mt Somers Hall in the evening.

Quake victims wait for aid Rescuers believe they have reached most of those affected by the powerful earthquake that ripped across Pakistan this week, but thousands of desperate survivors now face a race to rebuild with winter fast approaching.

Rugged terrain, severed communication lines and an unstable security situation have impeded relief efforts since Monday’s 7.5 magnitude quake killed more than 390 people in Pakistan and Afghanistan and levelled thousands of homes.

But yesterday, Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said it believed it had reached “most of the affected area”.

A spokesman said helicopters were still searching for any survi-

vors in the most remote, inaccessible areas of the mountainous region.

Pakistan’s confirmed death toll so far stands at 272, with more than 1900 people injured and nearly 14,000 homes damaged, though the spokesman said the NDMA was still in the process of estimating a final toll.

Desperate victims, meanwhile, appealed for aid, expressing fears for children in particular who were forced to sleep outside in sub-zero temperatures as winter sets in.

“After November 15 there will be three to four feet of snow here and we have nothing to protect us,” said Mir Wali, whose village Charun Ovir rests 3000 metres up the mountainside in the north-

western district of Chitral.

Dust is still rising from the mountain after the earthquake caused cracks in it, leaving villagers fearing a landslide or collapse.

“Whatever the government has to do, it should do before the snowfall,” he said.

“After that the roads will be blocked and we won’t be able to save our children.”

In Afghanistan, authorities have put the toll at 121 people with some 8000 houses damaged - but there are fears the number of dead could still spike, and charities are warning that the Taliban presence is hindering access to many of the affected areas.

UNAMA official Mark Bowden said it appeared NGOs had the

capacity to help after the quake, but that access to the areas “varies from one (insurgent) commander after another”.

Desperate survivors were left marooned on mountaintops in Badakhshan, the remote province where the epicentre of the earthquake was located and where much of the territory is controlled by the insurgents.

In Sawkay, district in the badly-hit Afghan province of Kunar, residents said no officials had yet appeared.

“The government has not asked what happened to us,” resident Mohammad Akram said.

“No government official visited us.”

■ CHINA

China ends unpopular one-child policy China has announced the end of its hugely controversial one-child policy after decades of strict, sometimes brutal enforcement left it with an ageing population and shrinking workforce that has heightened the challenges of slowing economic growth.

All couples will be allowed two children, the official Xinhua news agency reported, citing a communique issued by the ruling Communist Party following a four-day meeting in Beijing.

The historic change was “intended to balance population development and address the

challenge of an ageing population”, Xinhua said.

Campaigners welcomed the move, but stressed that a “twochild policy” still meant that China would retain population control mechanisms - while demographic changes will take decades to have an effect, and previous loosenings led to fewer extra births than expected.

The policy, instituted in the late 1970s, restricted most couples to only a single offspring and for years authorities argued that it was a key contributor to China’s economic boom and had

prevented 400 million births.

It was enforced by a dedicated national commission with a system of fines for violators and often forced abortions, leading to heartrending tales of loss for would-be parents.

But China’s population - the world’s largest at 1.37 billion - is now ageing rapidly, gender imbalances are severe, and its workforce is shrinking.

The concerns led to limited reforms in 2013, including allowing a second child for some couples in urban areas, but relatively few have taken up the opportunity.

Human rights organisations welcomed the change to the deeply unpopular policy, but expressed reservations about remaining controls.

It was “good news for the couples who wish to have a second child,” Maya Wang of Human Rights Watch said, but “the restrictions on reproduction rights remain in China”. “As long as the quotas and system of surveillance remains, women still do not enjoy reproductive rights,” she said, adding that the change in policy was for “primarily economic reasons”.

German police have arrested a man suspected of kidnapping a four-year-old refugee after they found the body of a child in his car.

“The identity of the child as well as the circumstances surrounding the death will be clarified in an autopsy,” Berlin police said. A Bosnian boy named Mohamed had been missing since October 1, when his mother took him to Berlin’s main refugee registration centre which receives hundreds of asylum seekers daily. The suspect, 32, is being questioned by police.

Bill signed into law Same-sex marriage has been signed into law in Ireland, five months after a historic referendum saw the traditionally Catholic nation become the world’s first country to vote for gay unions.

In a brief statement, the president’s office said “The Presidential Commission today signed the ‘Marriage Bill 2015’ into law”, paving the way for the first weddings within a month. Ireland voted 62.1 per cent in favour of allowing marriage between two people “without distinction as to their sex” in May, the first time anywhere that gay marriage has been legalised in a referendum.

Legal challenges to the result had briefly delayed the legislation from coming into effect.

Elephant kills two A wild elephant has killed two men in separate pre-dawn attacks as they worked at a rubber plantation in eastern Thailand. The tappers, both in their 40s and working about three kilometres apart, were killed at the plantation in Kang Hang Maew district of Chanthaburi province. “We believe the same elephant killed both victims based on its path,” local police lieutenant Sawai Chinwong said. A third tapper, a woman, suffered two broken legs at the scene of one of the attacks. According to Sawai, the elephant trampled on the men, using its trunk to fling them to the ground as well as goring them with its tusks.

A&P show, thriving on change Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

W

hether your heart’s in the country or you prefer to feel the asphalt under your feet, you’ll be aware that it’s Ashburton show day.

The show was traditionally a day when the best of the country came to town so the rest of the district could see what went on beyond city limits.

And that’s still the same today, but with a twist.

A&P shows, like any event that is steeping in history, have had to change to survive.

Many have not and those events have disappeared from a district’s calendar. Ashburton’s show, however, is a superb example of an event that has changed with the times, keeping the best of its past at the same time as it opened its doors to the present and the future.

Ashburton’s show is celebrating its 138th birthday and today it is probably stronger and in better health than at any time in its past.

And that is all down to the vision of the people who have led the organisation, who have shaped it and reshaped it to meet changing times.

When you’re dealing with a beast as big as an A&P show, making change is not easy.

The essence of a show is its rural heart and discarding that would have been as perilous as clinging too closely to the past.

What successive Ashburton show committees have done, is something that takes immense skill, they’ve melded past, present and future to create a two-day event that has universal appeal. While many shows are shrinking our’s is growing, both in the range of exhibits and events and in attendances.

The willingness to change and adapt is a basic survival tool but for many organisations it’s a tool that’s missing from their armoury.

And unfortunately, no matter how good those organisations have been in their past, if they haven’t changed actions and attitudes to meet changing needs they inevitably fade into obscurity.

It’s perhaps ironical that rural folk are often slated for being traditionalists and yet when it comes to how they run one of their own organisations they’re happy to be change agents.

Take a bow for a job well done.

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

H

ow do you know when you really belong in a place? Perhaps when it stops feeling like you don’t belong.

Small towns all over the world have locals and outsiders, and the chilliness towards the latter group varies greatly depending on location.

Last weekend we had an ‘outsiders’ experience that made even the most glowering of looks from back home seem positively welcoming.

The scene: a rural pub in a lonely coastal town. Thursday evening. The goal: have a quiet pint before dossing down for the night in our brand new tents, which were carefully erected just beneath the local satellite tower, in the only campsite in town.

Course of action: head down the street to the local pub.

As we walked through the doors, all conversation ceased.

Seven sets of eyes all swivelled round to appraise the foreigners who had dared to let in a draught.

The woman perched at the bar eating her tea put down her fork with a ‘clank’ that resounded through the entire room. A fly buzzed against the inside of the window, desperate to escape. All that was missing was the banjo soundtrack.

To be fair, this particular town did not see many visitors. It probably didn’t help that one of our number was a six foot something Irishman who was sporting

As we walked through the doors, all conversation ceased. Seven sets of eyes all swivelled round to appraise the foreigners who had dared to let in a draught. a drooping red moustache that reached almost to his shoulders, where it was carefully twizzled into two waxy points.

Even in the most bustling metropolis, he would have elicited a double take.

We bid a good evening to all present, remarked upon the strength of the wind out, and took a seat at the bar.

Bazza, Rozza, Timmo and Davo (names courtesy of the chalked scores next to the darts board) looked distrustfully on as we sipped at our pints.

We spoke in hushed tones, so as not to disturb the livingroom atmosphere. All ears were aprickle with interest – who were

these strangers? Which team did they support? And were they going to talk through the best bits of their programme?

Eventually all present turned back to watching the evening’s show, which consisted of a remake of classic tunes from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, featuring famous sports coaches in place of the original actors.

On a scale of bizarre, you just couldn’t make the scene up. We only stayed for one, and made sure to thank the barman on the way out.

The next day was a scorcher.

Come lunchtime, and post-hike, anything with ice in it seemed like a good idea, so we headed

back for the local hotel.

What a difference! Instead of silence, we were greeted with nods, served our ‘usual’s, and granted leave to eat our fish and chips in the yard. ‘Timmo’ even joined us out there, imparting detailed advice about the local roads whilst finishing his cigarette.

The moral of the story? If at first you’re treated like an outcast, just try again the next day, when the AFL final is about to start, and the local team is about to win and make history.

That subtle chin-raise greeting had never seemed more of a statement, and cider had never tasted so good.

What is this LOVE? T

here are very few music artists who haven’t sung about it, there are genres based on it, books sold by the millions about it and it’s the very reason why Jesus died on the cross.

Whether it’s a feeling, an emotion, an act, or a virtue, LOVE in any language brings a diversity of uses and meanings.

All this combined with the complexity of the feelings involved make it difficult to consistently define what love is.

However the love of God surpasses the love of any human. It cannot be defined by emotions or feelings, acts or language.

This love we are called to is not a feeling but an act of will. Love is a choice. For us to love as God loves us, we must ask Him daily to help us put the welfare of others before our own.

1 Corinthians 13:7 says love: (1) ‘Believes all things’. When someone you care about is called into question, love says, ‘That’s not the kind of person they are; that’s not what they meant.’ (2) ‘Hopes all things.’ Love sees people not just as they are, but as they can be through God’s grace.

(3) ‘Endures all things.’ The Greek word for ‘endurance’ is a military term. It means driving a stake into the ground. It’s like saying, “I’ll stand my ground in loving you.’ Love casts out all fear. When we allow love to be our grid to view life, we care without question and we see people’s potential and not their weaknesses.

Take stock of the people in your life. Love them unconditionally, without price tags or fear. It’s a life changing choice.

■ ANZ GLITCH

ANZ glitch causes a headache contributed to him losing a job.

He was unable to make multiple payments which were due on Thursday or top-up his cellphone, he said.

“I was also unable to reach the manager I was supposed to have an interview with for more stable work. As I failed to get in contact with said manager, I have lost out on a new job,” he wrote.

“It would be greatly appreciated if some sort of compensation was applied from ANZ.” A Nelson reader, named Cathie, said she received an “invalid issuer” message when she tried to pay for a takeaway pizza.

It was the same for the customer behind her, she said.

“Went to pay for pizza with eftpos - invalid issuer came up.

“I was working and all of a sudden the Eftpos wasn’t working took a long time to figure out it was just ANZ cards as a lot of patrons happened to be ANZ,” she said.

“We had to turn customers away who were with ANZ and had no cash, so lost revenue tonight which is quite disappointing really!”

“On the day that ANZ announces an obscene gross profit its system goes down in a major outage,” Jenny Rogers wrote.

“We tried to pay for our meal at a restaurant and were embarrassed by the inability to pay with ANZ Eftpos card with the screen saying could not complete. Even went across road to check at ATM and could not achieve anything not even a balance. Not good enough!”

Market movements create opportunity G

lobal share markets have pulled back in value in recent weeks after a strong run over several years. Periodic market corrections are to be expected, but their timing is usually unpredictable.

On this occasion, investors responded to slowing growth in China, depressed commodity prices, and the uncertainty of when, or if, the US Federal Reserve will announce a lift in US interest rates.

Given that markets do not increase smoothly, but in steps and reversals, this volatility allows investors to take profits and hold funds in cash while awaiting opportunities to purchase securities at lower prices.

This helps preserve some gains, reduce risk and wait for opportunities in what may still be a volatile period ahead.

How will they cope with the demands in the halves, how will they gel, and how will they adjust to the extra pressure from England? But Hiku in particular has been preparing for a long time - getting ready for his new challenge well before the team was named.

He revealed yesterday he had extra sessions and advice from Foran, who has played almost 150 games in the halves for Manly as well as six years in the Kiwis jumper.

Top start to Jamiee’s season

By Michelle NelsoN

michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton college student Jamiee Bird has made an impressive start to the season, taking out the first southern round of the FEI World Jumping Challenge at Canterbury Showjumping’s Labour Weekend Showjumping Carnival last weekend.

It is Bird’s first season on the nine-year-old Ramozotti mare, Wenrose Vertigo.

The pair produced two faultless

rounds in the 1.20m-1-20m class A, over the two day event. The class is open to riders aged 15 and older.

“She went very well,” she said.

In its 37th year the FEI World Jumping Challenge is run across 10 geographical zones around the world. All competitors jump the same course plan, designed by Brazilian Guilherme Jorge – designated as a course builder for the Rio Olympics.

Kiwi equestrians can accumu-

late points at three shows with the winner earning the opportunity to head to the world final, representing pool 8, which includes much of Australasia.

Sixteen-year-old Bird will have her next tilt at the title in Ashburton next weekend at the ESNZ Grand Prix Show jumping and Show Hunter event.

Yesterday she was at the Ashburton A&P Show with Wenrose Vertigo and her younger horse, Double J Wilmer.

She also has a couple of fiveyear-olds in the stable, which are coming along nicely.

Bird is still balancing her blossoming show jumping career with her commitments as a year 11 student with NCEA on the doorstep, but she’s not too worried about that.

“I know I’ve already passed this year,” she said As for the future; “I’d like to continue riding and take it all the way,” she said.

■ CRICKET

Finch, Carters destroy Black Caps attack

By JaMes MacsMith Aaron Finch and Ryan Carters have set a record for the highest first class opening batting partnership ever scored in Australia of 503.

The Cricket Australia XI openers Finch, 288 not out, and Carters, 209, broke a 90-year-old record against New Zealand at Blacktown International Sportspark yesterday.

The stand surpassed the previous record of 456 set in 1923-24 season by Victoria’s Bill Ponsford and Edgar Mayne against Queensland.

After batting throughout the first day of the three-day match on Thursday, the duo continued their pillage of an understrength Black Caps attack yesterday.

After starting the day on 0-376, Finch and Carters moved the score to 503 before New Zealand finally struck shortly before lunch.

Carters was caught behind by Kiwi keeper BJ Watling from the bowling of Tom Latham in the 121st over.

The world record first-class opening partnership of 561 was set by Waheed Mirza and Mansoor Akhtar at Karachi’s National Stadium in 1976-77.

The record partnership for any wicket at first class level of 624 was set by Sri Lanka duo Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara for the third wicket in a Test against South Africa at the Sinhalese Sports Ground, Colombo in 2006. - AAP Aaron Finch (right) plundered 288 runs off a depleted Black Caps attack.

England fullback Sam Tomkins has been ruled out of the three test series against the Kiwis as he continues to battle a knee injury that has kept him sidelined since August. The 26-year-old missed England’s warm-up game against France but was expected to be fit for the opening clash against the Kiwis in Hull on Monday morning before being officially ruled out of the entire series yesterday. He will now seek further medical advice ahead of making a return to the Super League with Wigan in 2016, after playing for the Warriors in the NRL. - NZME

NZ misses practice New Zealand’s cricketers will travel to Brisbane today in a bid to maximise their time in like-for-like conditions ahead of the first test, after the farce of yesterday’s abandoned game. CA officials were going to find good practice facilities in Sydney but that’s been abandoned in favour of getting where New Zealand need to be as soon as possible. It defies belief that CA officials didn’t realise days ago that the Blacktown pitch in Sydney was dodgy for what would have been valuable match practice.

“We had two days and haven’t gained a lot out of it from a preparation point of view,” coach Mike Hesson said. - NZME

Pace will be pivotal Just as tomorrow’s Rugby World Cup final has the breakdown earmarked as a clutch issue in the outcome, so too does the test cricket series between the countries have its possible game-breaker matchups. None more so than the battle of the fasties, pitching New Zealand’s ND pair Tim Southee and Trent Boult against Australian left arm Mitchells, Johnson and Starc. On that clash, and more specifically, who can inflict more damage on the opposing batting group, the series may be decided. The first two tests are on hard, fast and bouncy pitches in Brisbane and Perth, while the ground staff are being encouraged to leave more grass on the pitch at Adelaide for the pink ball day-nighter.

■ AORAKI SPORTS AWARDS

Donaldson takes top honours

BY JAMES FORD

JAMES.F@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton College waterskier Hugh Donaldson took supreme honours at the Aoraki Secondary Schools’ Sports Awards at the Southern Trust Events Centre in Timaru last night.

Donaldson’s year continues to improve after winning a gold medal at the National Championships at Lake Wiritoa, Wanganui in April.

Timaru Girls’ High School’s Analeise Le Roy was the recipient of the Overall Sportswomen of the Year gong for inline speed skating.

Ashburton College’s Matthew Clough and Roncalli College’s Libby Davenport took out their respective All Rounder sections.

College had further success in the Athlete with a Disability cat-

egory with Anthony Van Asperen winning the male prize and Timaru Girls’ High School’s Caitlin Benson taking home female honours.

Ashburton had a clean sweep in the Outstanding Sports Coach section with senior netball coach Angela Mitchell and rowing coach Steve Beveridge winning their respective sections.

As well as scooping the top prizes, Mid Canterbury athletes featured heavily on the night.

Ashburton College’s Matthew Clough (cross country and multisport), Lanelle Millar-McArthur (smallbore rifle), Jessica Windhorst (karate), Jamiee Bird (equestrian), Brendan Johnston (rodeo), Karen McKenzie (staff contribution, equestrian, skiing and rowing), Samantha Arnold (basketball),

Caitlin Johnstone (swimming), Matthew Harford (swimming), Nicholas Thomassen (umpire/ referee) and Hugh Donaldson (water skiing) all got the nod in their chosen sports while Aimee Elliot (cross country) and Edmund Fordyce (golf croquet) flew the flag for Mount Hutt College.

Hugh Donaldson in action

Record finish for under 19 footballers side creating many chances.

Mid Canterbury’s second game, and first win, came in a 4-0 mauling of Nelson Suburbs, where Mid Canterbury wasted little time in opening their account.

Scoring off a corner in the early stages of the match through skipper Jack Fleming, Mid Canterbury had to wait until midway through the second half to double their advantage. Tom Sexton scored from the spot after Ben Sutton was brought down by the Nelson keeper.

The third and fourth goals quickly followed from Ashley Van Staden and P’mehk Permsiri for the convincing win.

Mid Canterbury then held out for a 0-0 draw against Selwyn to qualify in second place following Selwyn’s 3-1 dismantling of Richmond in the earlier match.

The next day Mid Canterbury came up against Cashmere Technical in the quarter-final.

The side from Christchurch were favourites to take out the games, but Mid Canterbury took

the match out 2-1 in intense fashion with skipper Jack Fleming notching the winner late in the match.

The long awaited final whistle meant Mid Canterbury finished in their highest ever placing, regardless of other results of their final two games.

Mid Canterbury met eventual winners Southland Spirit in the semi-final and went down 3-0 before falling to a narrow 1-0 loss to Selwyn in the third, fourth place playoff.

■ MOTOR RACING

Rossi-Marquez feud ‘poison’ for MotoGP The bitter, high-speed world championship feud between Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez has “poisoned” motorcycling, the sport’s chief said yesterday.

Rossi, the nine-time world champion, was blasted for kicking defending champion Marquez off his bike at Sepang last Sunday.

As a result, the veteran Yamaha rider has been relegated to the back of the grid for the season finale in Valencia on November 8.

Should his chief rival and team-mate Jorge Lorenzo win on home ground in Spain, Rossi must come second to clinch the title.

But Rossi insists he is the victim of a Spanish plot and has accused Honda star Marquez of pursuing a “dirty game” with the express intention of helping compatriot Lorenzo to the title.

Such is the atmosphere of suspicion that Vito Ippolito, the president of the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM),penned an open letter yesterday in a plea for peace amongst the paddock’s warring factions.

“The recent events arising in connection with the competition for the 2015

world title have had a damaging effect on the staging of our competitions and poisoned the atmosphere around the sport,” wrote Ippolito.

“We are moving away from the tradition of pride in sportsmanship that is part of the heritage of motorcycling.

“Everyone has the right to express his or her own ideas.

“But words and actions always have consequences. Every individual has to take responsibility for those consequences.”

Rossi goes into the season-decider with a narrow seven-point lead over Lorenzo while Marquez is out of contention after an injury-plagued season.

Team-mates Lorenzo and Rossi have a history of tense relations, which erupted again following Sunday’s Sepang clash.

The Spaniard said Rossi should have been punished even more severely but that his superstar status shielded him.

“The championship is not over yet but this sanction cut me off by the legs,” said Rossi.

He called the punishment unfair, saying Marquez is “making me lose the championship”.

Lowy fires up Outgoing Football Federation Australia chairman Frank Lowy has stepped into the Wellington Phoenix saga, saying the New Zealand club have four years to demonstrate they are an asset, not a liability to the A-League. In a strong statement, which FFA said was issued in response to “ill-informed and inaccurate” commentary about the A-League’s future, Lowy hit back at the chorus of anger that had grown since the decision to knock back the Phoenix’s application to stay in the competition for another 10 years.

Lowy claims all club owners were told of FFA’s strategy surrounding Wellington back in April, and that he hasn’t “heard a peep” from anyone but the Phoenix since then.

The next generation of New Zealand’s footballers put on a fine display at the Lotto under 19 South Island Tournament last weekend, and Mid Canterbury were in fine form to place fourth.

In brief

Loic Remy insists beleaguered Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho remains the right man to halt the spluttering champions’ slide down the Premier League table. Just five months after leading Chelsea to the title, Mourinho is fighting to save his job and the fixture list offers little respite with Liverpool’s visit to Stamford Bridge looming as another potential landmine. But, despite different reports surfacing, French striker Remy says the boss still has the support of his squad. “We were champions together only last season and he is a really great manager,” Remy said.

■ RUGBY

Mid Canterbury’s best

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Eric Duff was awarded the Morgan Trophy as Heartland Player of the Year at the Mid Canterbury Rugby Union Awards at Hotel Ashburton last night.

Duff helped the Hammers to the Meads Cup semi-final, producing distinguished displays at lock and also when deployed at blindside flanker.

The Southern player’s performances earned him a call up to the Heartland XV, who will play New Zealand Marist and Australian Barbarians next month.

Hammers’ coach Grant Keenan, who will coach the Heartland side, told the Guardian last week that it was impossible not to select the 27-year-old after his impressive performances this term.

Dale Palmer was the recipient of the Neville Goodwin Memorial Trophy as coach of the year following a sterling season, in which Methven won the combined club competition.

Prop Jackson Donlan was named as Heartland Forward of the Year after capping off his season with selection to the Heartland XV along with Duff and Adaam Ross.

Halfback Will Mackenzie’s efforts were recognised with the Heartland Back of the Year gong, and Mark Andrew picked up the Heartland Best Team Man award.

Kirk Chettleburgh was named Mid Canterbury Development Team Player of the Year while James McLeod received the Development Team’s Best Team Man. David Maw picked up the Development Team Back of the Year and Penisimani Fakatoka collected the Development Forward prize.

Methven were the big winners in the club awards, being named 2015 Mid Canterbury Club of the Year following their Combined Country Cup final triumph over Waihora in June.

The open grade coaches of the year were Andrew Carr, Fraser Hutchinson and Jason Gill for Southern Senior B, and Brenton Connell received the Cousins Cup as the MCRU Sevens Player of the Year.

Of the junior grades, Tom Heywood picked up the under 18 Player of the Year, while Dallas McLeod was the best under 16 Player.

The Robert Woodham under 14 cup went to Sam Taylor and the under 14 Player of the Year was awarded to Marcus Bishop.

Mac Kaitao was the under 65kg Player of the Year and Ben Donald the Under 48kg Player of the Year.

Hampstead’s Toafa Touli picked up the MB Roulston Cup after his first season of senior rugby, while the Celtic seniors were presented with the Heartland Bank Positive Play Award, and Celtic Senior B’s Tim Reid was recognised as the Best Open Grade Captain with the Body Cup. In the special awards for junior club rugby, Tinwald collected the Pauline Ball Trophy for the most improved under 9 team, Hampstead received the Bruce Printing Tray for the best average points in JAB rugby, while the Stirling Sports Fair Play Award went to Allenton under 14.5.

Hampstead impressed with their conduct and presentation this season, and were awarded the Len Sandrey Trophy.

The game’s whistleblowers were also honoured, and Kevin Opele took the Ant McGirr Trophy as Referee of the Year for the second successive time.

The Findlay Cup for commitment to refereeing went to Martin Cuttle, Simon Bennett took home the Pierce Trophy for the most improved referee while Phill Hill won the MacPherson Family Intermediate & Junior Referee of the year award.

Gary Clement’s commitment was recognised with the Life Members Cup for his outstanding contribution and Wayne Foxcroft’s dedication to the cause earned him the Phillip McDonald Cup for his services to Mid Canterbury rugby as a volunteer.

Other MCRU awards: Junior Club Coach of the Year: Vaughn Ward & Jason Soal – Hampstead under 13.

Teenage Club Coach of the Year: Andrew Smith, Richard Catherwood, Grant Perry – Allenton/ Methven/ Rakaia under 18.

Right hand man for the All Blacks Self belief doesn’t always come naturally.

Could the All Blacks, a man down and five points in arrears at halftime during their World Cup semi-final against South Africa, have fought back to win without specialist mental training?

The evidence suggests not.

Enter Gilbert Enoka, the team’s mental skills coach, who last year took on the added responsibilities of assistant manager under Darren Shand.

Enoka, credited by former All Black Brad Thorn as the critical element to their 2011 World Cup final victory over France - by the slimmest of margins - can claim his part in another significant success in helping the team to the final of the 2015 edition.

The team’s physical fitness has got them out of several tight spots over the years, but so has their mental fitness, and it might just be the key ingredient in defeating the Wallabies at Twickenham tomorrow.

Kaino, Fardy unsung heroes

BY IAN MCGEECHAN Much of the talk before the Rugby World Cup final will doubtless focus on the superstars in the respective back rows, Richie McCaw and Kieran Read, and David Pocock and Michael Hooper.

And that is to be expected because they are all outstanding players, but it might just be that the battle of the back rows, and

therefore maybe the destination of the victory, is decided by the two unsung heroes wearing number six, Scott Fardy for Australia and Jerome Kaino for New Zealand.

I reckon that if you were asking the respective players of each side as to the identity of the most valuable player alongside them - the so-called ‘players’ player of the year’ that is always given - then Fardy and Kaino would be very

close to the top of the list for both teams.

As a coach you are always more concerned with the process of events on the field, as opposed to the outcome. So instead of looking at the try scored, you will first look back at the breakdowns that brought it about, and I bet if you were the coach of New Zealand or Australia you would often find that either Fardy or Kaino has

made a crucial intervention at the beginning of such things.

To me these players are gold dust.

They are the players who allow the talent around them to shine. They link everything together.

Both Fardy and Kaino were magnificent last weekend. In the first half when South Africa threw all their physicality at the All Blacks, it was often Kaino who was doing most to repel them.

■ OPINION

All Blacks about to enter history books H

istory is such a wonderful thing, and if you’re sportily inclined, it’s even more wonderful.

It’s littered with superlative performances from your favourite team (that’s the one wearing black), including a couple of Rugby World Cup triumphs, and it’s quite easy to transfer those darker years to the further recesses of the memory banks (like the time the All Blacks lost twice in one day).

There is a pantheon of famous names who have worn the black jersey; it’s not hard to come up with names such as Waka Nathan, Ian Kirkpatrick, Brian Lochore, Chris Laidlaw, Tana Umaga, Andrew Mehrtens, Wilson Whineray, Don Clarke, and some guy Meads.

You can add another hundred of your own personal favourites in there, and you would get no arguments from anyone (Christian Cullen? Grant Batty? Buck

Shelford? stoppit!); these are the players who have forged the All Blacks legend over more than a century of the game’s existence on the international stage.

Champion rugby players one and all, and remembered forever.

On Sunday morning there’s a few names going to join that exalted list of ex-players.

There’s Keven Mealamu, Conrad Smith, Tony Woodcock, Ma’a Nonu, Dan Carter and Richie McCaw. Will they all spring instantly to mind in 40 years’ time when the ‘best ever’ arguments arise, as they forever will?

Well, certainly two of them will.

No matter how good the team is, and the current lot must surely rate up with the best we’ve ever seen, there’s still the superstars who provide that extra edge of magic, that wonderful ability to nudge a game in the right direction, or inspire their team-mates to one last-minute surge from

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

exhausted and broken bodies to get over the line.

Richie and DC provide that edge, and have done so for over a decade.

But gone is what they will be, and despite hearing someone on the radio yesterday wringing their hands at the fate of New Zealand rugby without those six stellar names, there will in fact eventually be someone to fill those big boots, just as has happened many times in the All Blacks story before.

And what of tomorrow’s big game?

The TAB, generally noted for being right on the button when

they post odds on games, are being significantly bullish about the All Blacks (NZ $1.35, Australia $3.00), but surely every punter (and rugby fan in general) is recalling four years ago, when the men in black were supposed to be all over Msieur le Frog at Eden Park, but ended up only a single point to the good, thanks to Tony Woodcock’s lone try via a clever lineout move, and a solitary penalty.

There’s any amount of data and stats flying around, all of which mean nothing as 15 men in each team run out on to the hallowed turf at Twickers tomorrow morning.

Both teams deserve to be there, both teams have one hand on the trophy.

But, with history on the line, the experience of those six champions will come to the fore, and William Webb Ellis will be residing in the NZRU cabinet for another four years.

(wing): Age: 24. 1st World Cup; 7 Tests; 35 points (7 tries). Stunned by his squad inclusion, the elusive rookie is now favourite for World Rugby’s breakthrough player of the year award after bagging five tries in five games. Brilliant stepper.

CONRAD SMITH (centre): Age: 34. 3rd World Cup; 93 Tests; 130 points (26 tries). The veteran has already achieved it all but can bow out as a rare dual world champion.

MA’A NONU (centre): Age: 33.

3rd World Cup; 102 Tests; 150 points (30 tries). The blockbusting centre’s worth to the All Blacks is etched in his World Cup record - 14 games for 14 wins.

JULIAN SAVEA (wing): Age: 25.

1st World Cup; 40 Tests; 190 points (38 tries). Prolific tryscorer has crossed for a tournament-best eight five-pointers in five games already and stopping “The Bus” will prove one of the Wallabies’ toughest tasks.

DAN CARTER (five-eighth): Age: 33. 4th World Cup; 111 Tests; 1579 points (29 tries, 291 cons, 277 pens, 7 drops). Missed the 2011 triumph with injury and lifting the Webb Ellis Cup would be the crowning glory for New Zealand’s all-time leading pointscorer.

AARON SMITH (halfback): Age: 26. 1st World Cup; 46 Tests; 62 points (12 tries, 1 con). The former hairdressing apprentice has transferred his razor-sharp skills to the scrum base and rucks, providing silver service to team-mates.

KIERAN READ (No.8): Age: 30.

2nd World Cup; 83 Tests; 100 points (20 tries). Former World Player of the Year yet to recapture that form but still hugely influential. A key figure in lineout steals.

RICHIE MCCAW (opensider flanker, captain): Age: 34. 4th World Cup; 147 Tests; 135 points (27 tries).

The only three-time World Player of the Year, almost certainly playing the last match of arguably the greatest career in rugby history.

JEROME KAINO (blindside flanker): Age: 32. 2nd World Cup; 66 Tests; 55 points (11 tries).

Prototype All Blacks blindside flanker. Brutal tackling and clean outs.

BRODIE RETALLICK (lock): Age: 24. 1st World Cup; 46 Tests; 10 points (2 tries). Reigning World Player of the Year, enormous work rate and huge frame make him invaluable.

SAM WHITELOCK (lock): Age: 27. 2nd World Cup; 72 Tests; 20 points (4 tries). The All Blacks’ man mountain forms a lethal lineout combination with fellow 204cm second-rower Retallick.

OWEN FRANKS (prop): Age: 27. 2nd World Cup; 77 Tests; 0 points. Typical deep south island stock; hard as nails, among the best scrummagers in world rugby.

DAN COLES (hooker): Age: 28.

1st World Cup; 35 Tests; 25 points (5 tries). The apprentice to master hooker Mealamu has graduated to claim the All Blacks’ starting spot.

JOE MOODY (prop): Age: 27. 1st World Cup; 10 Tests; 5 points (1 try).

Living the dream starting in a World Cup final just three weeks after playing in the NPC. Reserves: Sonny Bill Williams (centre), Beauden Barrett (utility back), Tawera Kerr-Barlow (halfback), Sam Cane (flanker), Victor Vito (back row), Charlie Faumuina (prop), Ben Franks (prop), Keven Mealamu (hooker).

Staggering set of stats

Richie McCaw, with some fairly serious All Blacks firepower behind him, leads the haka against the Springboks last week.

■ RUGBY

McCaw aware of task

By Patrick Mckendry Richie McCaw says the only advantage he and the other All Blacks involved in the last World Cup final can take from their experience is knowing how hard it is going to be to win at Twickenham tomorrow.

McCaw is one of eight members of the team who started in the 2011 World Cup final named to play against Australia - the others are Owen Franks, Keven Mealamu, Sam Whitelock, Jerome Kaino, Kieran Read, Ma’a Nonu and Conrad Smith.

Two others, Ben Franks and Sonny Bill Williams, were on the reserves bench.

“The only thing you take out of

being in a final before is how deep you have to dig to get across the line,” McCaw said.

“That’s the only thing you know.

At some point - and last week we had a bit of it - it comes down to making sure you win one or two moments which could be the difference, and Saturday may be exactly that.

“You look at all the teams that have won - they’ve had to dig pretty deep, and that’s what we know we’re going to have to do this week.

“It’s not about doing something magical, it’s about doing your job when it counts.”

Earlier, coach Steve Hansen talked about the importance of experience in a team. The All Blacks’

squad has 1339 test caps in total, with an average age of 28.

“It doesn’t matter what you do in life, experience is massive,” he said.

“There are two types of experience - the ones you learn from and the ones you don’t - so hopefully we’ve learned enough.

“When you have got experience, and that experience is in good form, I think it is a big advantage.”

McCaw, meanwhile, refused to be drawn on whether he was about to play the final game of his career.

“I’ve purposely not gone into that because I wanted to make sure I didn’t get hung up in what could be or might be.

“At this tournament I was keen

to turn up as if I still had games to come.

“I’ll have to make a decision when I get home and Tewy [New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew] said there’s still a spot there if I really wanted it.

“It’s something down the track - I really want to play this tournament and this weekend as best as I can.

“You’ve still got to do the same things you do if you’re going to play for years ahead and not think this is the last time, last time.

“That hasn’t entered my head this week at all.

“I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m going to have a good reflection on things but I just want to get this week right.”

Gregan called in to inspire Wallabies

By Joe Barton Chasing a historic third Rugby World Cup triumph and the world No.1 ranking, nothing short of lifting the Webb Ellis Cup will satisfy Wallabies coach Michael Cheika.

Cheika on Thursday brought out the big guns, with Wallabies legend George Gregan called in to deliver an inspirational speech.

Gregan, who led Australia to the 2003 World Cup final and the

country’s most-capped player with 139 tests, conducted the team’s jersey presentation ahead of their World Cup final clash.

With no more-experienced Wallaby, and no Australian who has played more World Cup games than Gregan’s 20, there is none better to deliver home truths ahead of a showdown which could be Australia’s greatest rugby triumph.

Victory over the heavily favoured All Blacks would not only

deliver Australia a record third World Cup, it would also elevate them to the world’s top ranking for the first time.

New Zealand, who have held top spot since November 16 2009, have a slim 1.92 point advantage over the Wallabies - who could gain a near-three-point bump with victory by 15 points or less, and more than five points with any victory greater than that.

Cheika revealed the players had

been receiving inspirational messages from back home as well, which they’ve been encouraged to embrace - with one caveat.

“You get a lot of messages like ‘no matter what happens, we’re proud of you’,” Cheika said.

“Which is fantastic but we don’t want to be here and be proud just to have made the final.

“But the message is not to be contented with being happy.”

Richie McCaw is set to finish his test career tomorrow, even though he won’t admit it. We’ve compiled a list of amazing stats from his test career.

32 per cent: Of the All Blacks’ 412 victories since 1903, McCaw has been on the field for 32 per cent of them. 130 wins in black to be exact.

147: The most number of tests by any player in rugby history.

109 of those as captain are a record. His 130 wins are also a record.

37: The number of tests McCaw has missed since his debut on November 17, 2001.

36: That’s how many tests he has played against Australia, the most by one player against an opposition. Tomorrow will be his 37th. Just six of those were defeats.

10: The number of times he’s lifted the Bledisloe Cup as All Blacks captain. He’s also lifted four Tri Nations titles, three Rugby Championships and one World Cup. 2: McCaw has lost just two tests on home soil of the 61 he played in New Zealand.

3: Number of times he has been awarded World Rugby player of the year.

8: Number of nominations for World Rugby player of the year.

Twice as many as the next best - Dan Carter.

18: The number of different teams he has played a test against (including the British and Irish Lions). The only two nations in the top 20 he has never faced is Uruguay and USA (though he toured USA last year).

39: Number of grounds McCaw has played a test on.

12: The number of times McCaw has travelled to South Africa to play a test match. He’s also made the same number of tours to the Northern Hemisphere for end of year trips or World Cups.

68: The All Blacks’ winning percentage in those tests without McCaw. They won 19, lost 7 and drew one when he didn’t take the field since his debut.

3: Of his 15 defeats in the All Blacks jersey, only three times was the loss by double figures.

The largest being the 38-21 loss to England in 2012. The next biggest defeat was the 22-10 World Cup semi-final loss to Australia in 2003. He’s been in seven defeats by three points or less.

30: The number of times McCaw has been replaced in his 147 tests. Only nine of those have been in the last four years, during the ‘twilight’ of his career. He’s also come off the bench seven times in total.

4: Has only lost tests to four nations - Australia (6), South Africa (6), England (2) and France (1).

In brief

■ RUGBY

Sticks and stones - Hansen

BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Steve Hansen has laughed away the attempts by the Australia Rugby Union and coach Michael Cheika to undermine his team by refusing to call them the All Blacks.

Cheika appears to be following a directive from his bosses by referring to Hansen’s team as “New Zealand”, rather than the “All Blacks”, in a bid, presumably, to strip the world champions of some of their mystique ahead of Sunday’s World Cup final at Twickenham.

In being asked about it yesterday at the All Blacks’ press conference at the team’s Pennyhill Park hotel base in Surrey, Hansen’s reply brought laughter from the large media presence.

“I didn’t know that,” Hansen said.

“They can call us whatever they want. Being Aussies, they probably will.”

That’s that, then.

Whereas Cheika appears intent on mind games, and some of the Australia media intent on grubby tabloid tricks in targeting skipper Richie McCaw, Hansen has gone the other way; a charm offensive

rather than just plain offensive.

And so it was that Hansen praised the way Cheika has turned the Wallabies around since taking over from Ewen McKenzie’s disastrous reign near the end of last year.

What seemed to be an ill-disciplined rabble has been turned into a close unit travelling in the same direction the Wallabies making a

big point of signing off their social media posts with a “stronger as one” message.

When asked about the different paths the teams have taken to get to the final, Hansen, in charge of a team who have lost only three times since the last World Cup, said: “How we got here probably is irrelevant. The fact is we got here, and the same applies to Australia.

“Yeah, they’ve had a few bumps and adversity, but what I think Australia have done in the last 12 months, they’ve really had a look at themselves and made some really good changes.

“They have got real clarity in how they want to play the game. Michael Cheika and his crew can take a bow - they’ve done a great job.

“It’s great for rugby.

“We need as many strong nations playing this game as possible, and Australia are one of the teams we’d expect to be strong all the time.

“They seem to have got their house in order, and are playing accordingly.”

While prop Wyatt Crock-

ett was initially named on the reserves bench before aggravating his groin injury this morning, Hansen has been able to name a settled team for tomorrow’s match.

Loosehead prop Joe Moody retains his place in the starting team, with Ben Franks named as cover on the bench.

Earlier in the the tournament, Hansen was asked about the socalled Pool of Death, from which Australia have emerged, and he replied that if any team from that group - also including tier one nations England and Wales - as well as Fiji - won the tournament they would be worthy world champions such was their hard road to the final.

Yesterday, however, he said simply that Australia’s path to the final would count for little.

What was important was that they were in it.

“They will have a massive hunger to get the job done, they’ve got a massive amount of talent,” he said.

“You are in the final, you are where you want to be. They will bring plenty to the park, and we will have to bring plenty to match it.”

2015

Pumas coach hailed Argentina’s attacking revolution has received further vindication through Daniel Hourcade’s nomination for World Rugby’s coach of the year award, according to Martin Landajo. Scrum-half Landajo has hailed Pumas coach Hourcade’s influence across the course of the World Cup, with Argentina reaching their second semi-final. Hourcade joins New Zealand’s Steve Hansen, Australia’s Michael Cheika and Japan’s Eddie Jones on the four-strong shortlist for the prestigious award.

Tension in the camp There will be some “awkward” moments between the Australia and New Zealand Defence Force troops, in a military camp, after the final whistle blows in the Rugby World Cup final. It will be a tense atmosphere at the Taji military camp in Iraq where both Australia and New Zealand Defence Force troops will anxiously watch the game together. Australian Defence Force captain Matthew Daniell said he didn’t expect to be watching the final surrounded by Kiwis. “The result will more than likely mean some really awkward moments afterwards because national pride is on the line, but it will all be in good spirits.”

A ridge moves east over the country tomorrow, retreating to the north of the North Island on Monday, as an active trough approaches the far south. The trough lies across central New Zealand late Tuesday, followed by strong cold southerlies. It then moves away to the east on Wednesday, as another ridge moves over much of the country.

www.thepuzzlecompany.co.nz

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Send your imagination soaring. At the intersection of fantasy and reality will be a truly memorable bit of fun that could only happen under tonight’s rather perfect circumstances.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’ll be ready for the spotlight to swivel in your direction, not because you formally prepared for it, but because you’re so filled with confidence and levity now.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): The dreams of yesteryear are what make tonight so sweet. It’s as though someone is answering your long-ago wishes in ways you never could have imagined at the time.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Hesitation is for those who fear making mistakes. Halloween reminds you not to fear. Go ahead. While the insecure wait, you’ll get busy making mistakes, learning from them and becoming a master.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You don’t scare easily, but when spooked, the adrenaline rush could send you into the arms of a heroic or comforting type who is happy to have you there.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Each person you interact with gets a different version of you. (Everyone is this way to some extent.) You’ll have an increased awareness of how a certain person makes you feel.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Your ancestry plays into your choices tonight — where you go, how you dress, whom you talk to. It’s as though you’re being whispered to by ones who walked there before you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You’ll have a heartfelt exchange with someone who, like you, is a giver.

There’s more to come! You deserve to be with a person who will meet you halfway.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re energised by your accidental place in the events of the day.

The principles of randomness and chance will favour your belief in your Jupiter-ruled guidance system.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ve hit your tolerance with being correct and tasteful in all matters. A wild, adventurous spirit takes hold. This will be reflected in your costume and/or approach to the night’s shenanigans.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): It’s the details that make your efforts effective and your night one for the ages. When you share your astute observations, someone will think you’re psychic or a mind reader.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Not all ghosts are wailing, see-through creatures. Some are exes, acts of the past that come back to haunt you or desires that keep showing up unannounced and uninvited in your being.
