In brief Tua in politics? His retirement freshly announced, David Tua opened his dressing room door to an expectant media and, with an air of relaxed melancholy and rueful smiles, began answering questions about his future. Would he go into politics? It was an option but there was nothing definite. It emerged that talk of him entering politics came up during a Tua visit to a school. “I didn’t go there to start a political party or anything,” he grinned. “But the subject came up and some people got excited about it. There were a lot of Maori and Polynesian kids there - and a lot of Pakeha too - and I was interested enough to say that I would like to help. But we’ll have to see what happens there; it could just be doing something in the community, you know?” - HOS

Good news for Parker Fast emerging New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker should experience no lasting difficulties after the bad eye cut sustained in his fight with Afa Tatupu last month. His trainer Kevin Barry said from Las Vegas that the cut - suffered after a head clash - had healed well. “I took Joseph to my plastic surgeon and he told us that the eye looks fantastic. The cut is well above the orbital bone and he doubts that a fighter would be able to open it with a punch - though another head clash might be another story,” said Barry. - NZH
Twenty20 bowls? New Zealand’s world No1 women’s bowls player Jo Edwards is this week set to take on the top Australian men in a revolutionary new competition, branded the sport’s version of Twenty20. Edwards has been selected in the three-strong Tower New Zealand Black Jacks to face five powerful Australian state franchises in the inaugural Australian Premier League which opens at Brisbane’s Club Pine Rivers tomorrow. Chasing a total prize fund of A$100,000, the players clash in a quick-fire, two game, five-end format. - APNZ
