EASY SUDOKU
Best round ever, says Fox ■ GOLF
Kiwi Ryan Fox has stormed home to finish second at the European Tour’s Victoria Open in Geelong.
Fox carded an eight-under 64 final round, featuring two eagles and four birdies, to rise to 17-under for the tournament.
His round was three strokes better than any other player’s round on the final day.
Australian Min Woo Lee won by two shots at 19-under. Fox says it was one of the best rounds he’s ever played.
“Probably the best round I’ve played in a tournament,” Fox said.
“I would not have thought 64 was out there at the start of the day. It looked like there’s a few good scores from the guys.
“I think the only saving grace with this wind direction is you either play a hole straight down or straight into. There’s not too many cross breezes. I made a couple of eagles obviously, which was nice.
“I hit a lot of shots inside sort of 15-foot and made a couple of those, which is not really what you expect to do today.
“I kind of never really felt like I was under any pressure out there, which in conditions like this, that’s always nice. Looks like it’s going to be a couple short but I’m certainly not complaining.”

Devine posts record knock ■ CRICKET
Sophie Devine has broken a world record on her way to blasting one of the best Twenty20 innings by a New Zealander.
Devine has become the first female to reach 50 in five consecutive Twenty20 internationals, and she then went even better – notching her first Twenty20 century with a phenomenal innings against South Africa at the Basin Reserve in Wellington yesterday.
The White Ferns captain smashed a superb 105 from just 65 balls, becoming just the second New Zealand female to reach three figures in a T20, after Suzie Bates.
She also combined with Bates – who made 47 from 46 balls – in a 142-run second-wicket partnership – the biggest second-wicket stand for New Zealand, and highest of all-time against a tier-one women’s cricket nation.
For Devine, accomplishing her first century alongside a good friend and team-mate, and at her home ground, was an emotional moment.
“To bring up a T20 hundred is a special occasion, but to have Suzie Bates out there who I’ve played a lot of cricket with, I remember being there for her first T20 century as well, so that was awesome. “Me and Suzie have batted a lot together in the last couple of years, and to be able to come together and put on a winning total is really satisfying.
“When you’ve played cricket with someone for so long, it’s nice to share moments like that.
“To bring it up at the Basin Reserve, where I’ve played and watched a lot of cricket, it’s a moment that I certainly won’t forget.” It led the White Ferns to 171-2, with Devine – who already holds the record for the fastest T20 50 – now setting a new world record with her brilliant form, both international and domestic, continuing.
Devine, who offered some chances but was aided by sloppy Sophie Devine on her way to a record-breaking century against South Africa yesterday.
South African fielding, has now notched scores of 54 not out, 61, 77 and 105 in the first four games of the five-match series against South Africa, adding to her 72 in her last Twenty20 against India in 2019 to make it five fifties on the trot.
That surpassed the previous record of four held by India’s Mithali Raj, and Devine made sure she didn’t miss out on more feats, getting through to her maiden Twenty20 century by striking a boundary with four balls left in the innings.
“The last 12 months I’ve really challenged myself to be consistent with my performances.
“If I looked at my batting career a couple of years ago I was really inconsistent – so it’s been a focus to be able to produce performances like that game after game.”
She was run out on the penultimate ball to end up on 105, contributing a remarkable 61 per cent of the White Ferns’ runs, and giving South Africa an almighty target to chase.
They didn’t come close – being bowled out for 102, with Anna Peterson taking 3-14, Jess Kerr 2-17, and Devine, of course, chipping in with a wicket and a catch as the White Ferns sealed a series victory with a game to spare.
The White Ferns now hold an unassailable 3-1 series lead.
The fifth and final T20 is on Thursday in Dunedin.
On Friday the White Ferns head to the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.
Ferguson a long way from international cricket
Lockie Ferguson is back on the pitch – but a swift return to the Black Caps is still in doubt.
Ferguson, who will be watching from afar as the Black Caps play their final ODI against India at Mount Maunganui today, hasn’t played for New Zealand since their test series opener in Perth, where he suffered a muscle-tendon strain in his right calf while bowling.
The 28-year-old speedster made it through 11 overs in what was his test debut before being ruled out of the side since.
Having eased back into club cricket late last month, Ferguson made his domestic return for Auckland yesterday in the Ford Trophy, with the aim of being fit and available for the first test against India starting next Friday. He was pleased with how things were tracking but insisted that stepping back onto the international scene could take some time.
“This was one of the steps, to see how I go in a domestic one-day so it went well but certainly the intensity steps up quite significantly going into an international match,” Ferguson told Radio Sport.
“I’ve been playing a lot of cricket over the last three weeks with a conservative approach to building the intensity back up.
“With calves, I didn’t realise how much work they do when you’ve got to walk [and] jog, and with these kinds of tears, it’s important just to build the load back up and give it time to heal.
“It’s feeling pretty good so we’ll just keep taking these steps forward and hopefully, it’s all positive.”
It was far from a dream return to the domestic game for Ferguson result-wise, with Auckland falling to their biggest-ever Ford Trophy defeat with a 210-run loss to Otago. Ferguson, however, wasn’t concerned ahead of Sunday’s grand final, where Auckland will play the winner of Thursday’s elimination final between Otago and Canterbury.
“Nothing really changes, we’ve got a really good culture at Auckland at the moment where we work really hard as a unit and put a lot of pressure on each other at training,” he said.
“Fortunately we’ll be playing the next game at Eden Park ... it can be one of those intimidating grounds sometimes for bowlers, and batters can feel the pressure having to score quickly, but obviously being our home ground we’ve played a lot of cricket there so we can take a lot of confidence into Sunday.”
With Ferguson still easing back into top-level cricket, the Black Caps have looked elsewhere for reinforcements ahead of the final ODI against India.
Spinner Ish Sodhi and seamer Blair Tickner have been plucked out of the NZ A side and called into the ODI squad as cover, after Tim Southee, Mitchell Santner and Scott Kuggeleijn were struck down with illness in the second ODI.
Black Caps captain Kane Williamson is expected to return to the side after missing the first two ODIs, after successfully taking a full part in training yesterday afternoon.
■ COAST TO COAST Podium spots for local Coasters
By Ad m Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz The largest field in the history of the Coast to Coast put months of backbreaking preparation into motion over the weekend.
Dozens of Mid Cantabrians lined up for the pinnacle multisport trek, which came to a head at Christchurch’s New Brighton Beach on Saturday.
Several of the line-up celebrated deserving spots on the podium.
In the remorseless Longest Day event, Samuel Clements-Stewart, of Ashburton, came second in the open 18-39 categor y and 11th overall in a time of 12hrs 22mins.
He was tailed by fellow Ashburton resident Gerard Morrison, who placed third in the open category and 12th overall, finishing in 12hrs 27mins.
Morrison bounced back after crashing off the bike during the first bike leg.
Clements-Stewart, who had finished third in the open category and 20th overall in 2019, said the weather made things more challenging.
“The southerly hit me as soon as I entered the gorge.
“I think it was the highest number of DNFs.
“That’s why they make everyone wear all the compulsory gear ... the thermals and jackets, etc. “I was conscious of it throughout the day.”
With the conditions getting the better of several competitors, Clements-Stewart was elated with the result.
“This year I went to a more advanced kayak and we got the Ashburton Kayak Club going, it really helped with my kayaking. “I was really rapt with how the day went overall.”
Matthew Clough, of Ashburton, finished third in the open category in the two-day individual event and fourth overall after registering a time of 11hrs 50mins.
Dorie’s Mark Cressey earned a podium place as he finished second in the Vintage 60+ category for the two day individual in a time of 14hrs 58mins.

overall in the two-day two-person team event, finishing in 12hrs 19mins.
The Mount Hutt College Beavers, comprising of high school pupils Alex Roderick, Jack Miers and Adam Shears, placed third out of the school teams, crossing the finish line in 13hrs 1min.
Fellow MHC pupils Louis Bryson-Boe and George Seque was the first school team in the twoday two-person category, finishing in 16hrs 38mins.
May End in Divorce! couple Mark and Anna Summerfield were the ninth mixed team in the two-day two-person category, finishing in a time of 13hrs 20mins . Methven pair Stephen “Blackie” Blackwell and Jarrod Coutts were fourth in the open category and seventh overall in the twoday tandem, finishing in a time of 13hrs 16mins.
Team Turney pair Rob and Kim Turney finished third in the veteran category of the two day tandem event in a time of 14hrs 56mins.
Reuben Syme, of Ashburton, was the eighth veteran (40-49) home in the two-day individual event, finishing in a time of 13hrs 30mins.
Will the Springboks really defect to the north? ■ OPINION
By Phil Gifford
Talking points from rugby this week.
Crying wolf The biggest story in rugby this week by far was the suggestion, mooted in England’s Daily Mail, that South Africa is about to desert southern competitions, and play in what will become the Seven Nations in Europe.
If it’s true that’s a massive sea change for New Zealand too, and makes the job for New Zealand Rugby’s new CEO Mark Robinson a minefield.
The key words here are “if it’s true”.
Two things could make you hesitate. One is the source. In 2005 every, and I mean every, British rugby writer had it on impeccable authority that the 2011 World Cup would be awarded to Japan. They were all wrong, and reacted, not with any sense of embarrassment, but with bile.
One, Peter Bills, suggested “the game has turned its back on tomorrow”, and that was one of the kinder comments.
The other is that this is far from the first time it’s been said that South African rugby was heading north. Usually those rumours have started when South Africa wants some concessions in Super Rugby or in the southern international season.
That said, a move to European competitions for South Africa makes huge sense. The travel will be much kinder on bodies, given that there’s only a two hour time difference between London and South Africa. There’s also, in the professional world, so much more money sloshing around in Europe than in, by comparison, sparsely populated New Zealand and Australia.
This time it may be that the phoney war over South African rugby leaving for Europe is actually real.
This is what we’d miss
The Sharks’ 42-20 demolition of the Highlanders in Dunedin on Friday night put paid to any thoughts that South African sides haven’t added much joy to Super Rugby anyway.
Makazole Mapimpi on the wing and Aphelele Fassi at centre were nothing short of sensational.
They say Mapimpi – who last year became the first Springbok to score a try in a World Cup final – is only 91kg, but he plays with the bull-like strength of a man 20kg heavier.
Just as dashing is the 22-yearold Fassi, who, like Mapimpi, fed off the Highlanders’ odd tactics, against a highly organised rush defence from the Sharks, of short kicks, and hopeful cut-out passes that way too often fell into opposition hands.
Spark of light for Highlanders Aaron Smith, we all know, is the best passing halfback in New Zealand, and he’s a damn good runner too.
There was a moment 11 minutes into the second half against the Sharks, with his team down 30-10, that showed how fierce his commitment is too. With the Sharks looking likely to dash away for another try, Smith ran his heart out to get to a bouncing ball first and kill the opportunity. Joe Stanley, the 1987 World Cup-winning All Black centre, once told me one of the aspects of rugby that fascinated him was how, unlike league, which he had played well enough as a young man in Northland to make a pre-season Kiwis training camp, you had a responsibility beyond looking after the man you were marking one on one. “If you’re really hurting (in rugby) and cover defending to help out your fullback, you’re the only one who’ll really know if you eased off and left him in the lurch.”
Put Aaron Smith down as one who would never leave a teammate in the lurch. I’ve seen the future Super Rugby final
Warren Gatland said he thought it was “a 15 point wind” in Hamilton, so his Chiefs being down 12-8 at halftime against the Crusaders wouldn’t have worried him too much.
He was right to be confident. In what may well be an early season peek at the knockout stages there was never a hint of the Chiefs blinking in their 25-15 victory.
And, like last week, a key man in the shrewd, level-headed, cool hand Chiefs’ set-up was Aaron Cruden. Two former first-fives in the stands, Ian Foster and Grant Fox, had to have been impressed. Yes, that really was the Blues You fear getting too carried away when the Blues are involved, but that was an old fashioned hiding the Blues dished out to the Waratahs 32-12.
There’s plenty of talent in the Blues. The problem has too often felt like a lack of belief. We’ll get a real of idea of whether that issue is being resolved as early as next Friday, when the Crusaders will come to Eden Park.
■ BOWLS
Lowry Cup qualifiers found
A field of 13 players emerged from the qualifying stages of one of Mid Canterbury’s greatest bowling prizes, the Lowry Cup, on the weekend to head forth into this weekend’s knockout stage of the singles competition.
From an initial line-up of 26 players, competing across two greens on Saturday, half managed to get the required three wins from their four matches to work through to post section play on Saturday at the Ashburton Bowling Club.
On the Methven green, eight players made it through.
No-one managed to make it through the day unbeaten, making for some interesting last rounds of play, but it was Methven player Tim White who finished as top qualifier – however, he made life hard for himself by losing his opening match to Richard Kane before grabbing his next three.
Joining him from the Methven green with three wins were Shane Calder, Alan Hill, Jeff Nowell, Murray Smallridge, Richard Kane, John Argyle and Boyd Marsh.
On the Ashburton MSA green, things were a little more cut-throat.
Simon Fleetwood and Bruce White emerged unscathed with three wins each and didn’t need to play their final match of the day.
Daniel Hopkins overcame a loss in the third round to finish official top qualifier, while Graeme Bishop and Craig Fowles also did the necessary.
Three of the qualifiers from Saturday have been given a free advance to the quarter-finals thanks to the bye, with Hopkins and Fleetwood set to meet in one quarter-final while Richard Kane has also advanced and will face the win ner of the Argyle and Bishop clash in the last 16.
Calder and Bruce White will play against each other, as will Nowell and Smallridge, while in the bottom half of the draw, Tim White will take on Marsh and Fowles and Hill will lock horns.
Play begins at 9am on Saturday.
Right – Simon Fleetwood has qualified for the knockout stage of the Lowry Cup.

■ RUGBY
Away strips not finding favour with Super Rugby fans
Super Rugby’s early January start hasn’t got off to a great start with low crowd numbers seen across the competition and bizarre colour schemes for New Zealand’s teams. Ironically, many fans believe the Kiwi teams’ ‘recycled’ jerseys need to be put in the bin.
The reception of the away jerseys has not been great, which have not only diverged away from the franchise’s traditional colours but even clashed with the opposition.
Last week’s opening clash for the Hurricanes saw the team don blueish/grey kit which was a direct clash with the Stormers own home blue kit when they played at Newlands, becoming an eyesore for the audience trying to differentiate the two.
The Crusaders, a franchise built on a red and black identity, donned kit eerily similar to the Hurricanes against the Chiefs when their traditional red kit would have been perfect against the Chiefs’ home black kit.
The alternate jerseys are part of a marketing push for a ‘recycled’ jersey using plastics from the ocean. The only problem is the colour schemes have no connection to the franchises resulting in bland looks for the teams.
The jerseys remind fans of the ‘grey’ away look from many of the Kiwi sides donned through the late 2000s that were already resoundingly rejected.
The need for an alternate colour scheme or ‘away’ jersey doesn’t exist in the New Zealand conference when all five Kiwi franchises have different colours to begin with.
Many fans think that if an alternate jersey is required, teams should look to adopt a ‘classic’ look with a throwback design from the early stages of the Super Rugby competition.
The Chiefs’ 1996 heritage jersey last year was simple but effective for an impressive look.
■ ALL STARS Self Assured makes statement
By Ad m H milton
In a scary warning to rivals, Mark Purdon thinks his young stable star Self Assured is only now getting back to his very best.
As brave and huge as Self Assured was in his two recent Victorian defeats, Purdon felt he didn’t quite have the four-year-old right at the top of his game.
But gelding gave him that special feeling again winning the Group 2 Hondo Grattan at Menangle on Saturday night.
“He felt terrific last night. That’s him back to his best,” Purdon said.
“As good as he was in Victoria, I just didn’t think he quite felt himself, especially in the 4YO Bonanza. He didn’t travel as well as he usually does.
“But it was different last night. “He felt as good as we’ve had him.” Self Assured came off the gate well, but didn’t have the brilliance to match buzz local Balraj, who blasted to the front in a scorchinmg 25.8sec opening quarter.
Classy Victorian Demon Delight came across from a wide draw to momentarily sit outside the leader and give Self Assured the one-one, but Purdon immediately moved to sit parked at the 1000m.
Self Assured had Balraj, who was unbeaten in eight previous NSW runs, beaten before the home bend and Purdon nursed him as long as possible down the straight to beat a brave Demon Delight by 1.2m in a 1min50.3sec mile.
The last quarter was 26.5sec. Last year’s Australian 3YO of the Year, Max Delight, caught the eye with a long-sustained run from near the rear to hold-on for third. Self Assured’s win turned Mark Purdon
around an exasperating start to the night for Purdon, who had stewards scratch Stylish Memphis from a NSW Oaks warm-up race. “We thought she only had to be at the track an hour before the race, but they said it was 90 minutes,” Purdon said.
“They give you a 15-minute leeway and we missed that by two minutes.
“They said there’s no discretion after that.
“It was disappointing.” Purdon said Stylish Memphis would now run at Menangle next Saturday along with Chase Auckland and Smooth Deal.
“There will be a race for the filly next week, even if she’s got to run outside of her class a bit,” he said. “Chase Auckland will run in the free-for-all and Smooth Deal will go around as well.
“We’ll also have Princess Tiffany race at Addington and if she wins, that gets her a ticket into the Ladyship Mile here (Sydney).” Self Assured goes straight to the Chariots Of Fire on February 22.
■ NSW DERBY Butt plans raid on WA
First comes the NSW Derby and then Anthony Butt is eyeing-off a WA raid with his star three-yearolds Line Up and Perfect Stride.
“That’s the plan, to take them both if they come through the NSW Derby well,” Butt said.
“I’ve spoken to Gary Hall (Jr) and asked if he’d drive one of them for me.”
Line Up won his heat and final of the Victoria Derby, while Perfect Stride ran a terrific third in the final.
In other news, Butt’s exciting three-year-old trotter Elite Stride steps out for just his second run at Menangle tonight. Elite Stride, raced and bred by Emilio and Mary Rosati, won his run at Melton on January 20 by 50.5 metres.
“He’ll have a couple of runs through this series, then head back to Victoria for Need for Speed (Group 1, February 29),” Butt said.

John Lundstram scored the winning goal as Sheffield recovered from 1-0 down to claim a win which sees it overtake Tottenham for fifth.
Challenging for the Champions League spots in February is a major achievement for promoted Sheffield, which is two points off Chelsea in fourth, though Chelsea has a game in hand.
Callum Wilson gave Bournemouth the lead in the 13th minute on a wet pitch, blasting the ball into the roof of the net on a rebound from Harry Wilson’s shot.
The sun came out midway through the first half, and veteran striker Billy Sharp levelled the score in first-half stoppage time on a rebound after a corner.
Bournemouth could have had a third consecutive Premier League victory if not for a fine reaction save by Sheffield goalkeeper Dean Henderson to stop the unmarked Ryan Frazer’s powerful shot in the 71st.
However, it was Lundstram who had the last word when he scored in the 84th off a square ball from Lys Mousset.
That ended Bournemouth’s recent recovery after winning its last two games.
Eddie Howe’s team is 16th, two points above the relegation zone.
Second-placed City’s meeting with West Ham was called off in the morning on safety grounds.
City officials said the weather was “extreme and escalating.”
Numerous other sports events across Britain were also scrapped due to the weather and concerns about fans’ ability to travel amid widespread disruption to train services.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker Your Stars
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Let people tell you the things you want to hear, and then let them show you the things you want to see. If only one of these things happens, that’s great – as long as it’s the second one. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You may find yourself keeping an eye on things that don’t exist. If you catch yourself in the act, you can count yourself in the best company that ever lived. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You have a place for someone in your heart and in your life, though the second one takes more intention to work out, as there are logistics involved. But because you care enough, you’ll do it. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The universe is expanding at a rate few agree on. Maybe this is why the moon never hangs the same way twice, though things feel comfortably assuring between you and your guardian luminary today. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You may find yourself trying to fight the natural leanings of your thought process. Consistency matters quite a lot. Better to be low-key and uniform with followthrough than harsh and fickle. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The first time a mistake happens, it’s a learning moment. The second time, maybe it’s the same. But with repetition, at some point it is no longer a mistake; it’s a decision. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You want to be acknowledged in a particular way because that feels like love. Your preference may not be so obvious to you. It’s something to think over, though, because it’s a key to your happiness. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): To use tools like social media for pleasure and amusement is very different from using them for work. The handles and buttons may be the same, but different intentions change everything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Many claim to love unconditionally, but the test of this comes after conditions have changed. Those wary of making or issuing claims will concentrate fully on providing affection’s proof. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): The question that comes to mind, childlike in its reaching naivete yet also rooted in deep ancient mud, is “Why do they get to do that, and why can’t I?” Or, you can try turning it around to “How can I?” AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): No one has time. Some people take time, and then things get done. Your challenge is to get the day organised enough to prioritise things that matter most but that you still haven’t made habits. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Good living centres around attitude. It’s easy to conjure up an excellent vibe when the basics like enough sleep, water and exercise are covered. Those three things will make you 25% happier. Sudoku Fill the grid so that every column, every row and 3x3 box contains the digits 1 to 9. www.thepuzzlecompany.co.nz
