Subject to agreement from the local community, Makara Model School will soon be reunited with its original schoolhouse, reputedly 146 years old. It has stood alone on a nearby reserve since
the early 1970s. Wellington City Council’s City Strategy Committee has voted to gift the schoolhouse to the school, which is in desperate need of more space due to a rapidly-growing roll. Continued on page 2.

Leading the race is Moya Ganseman just ahead of Michael Bannister, and Kyson Ward. PHOTO supplied.

Independent Herald The largest circulating newspaper in Wellington West & Northern suburbs YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER
Big boost for Makara School Continued from page 1. The Makara-Ohariu Community Board, which has brokered the deal, will now be consulting on it. It is proposed the building be trucked from its South Makara Road site to the Model School site in nearby Makara Road next summer and be ready for use in the 2019 school year. School Principal Gail Dewar is ecstatic. “Our school is bursting at the seams,” she says. They have approximately 70 students but only two classrooms. As well as classroom space this move will, she says, let them retain their library. “And maybe even have space for assemblies.” Now the school and community must raise an estimated $80,000 to pay the costs of relocation and refurbishment. That’s considerably cheaper than a new build, or moving a building over the hill to Makara. Community Board chair Christine Grace, who proposed the idea, hopes for community support. She says the schoolhouse is tucked away up a long driveway and not many people even know about it. Councillor Andy Foster says this is a “win, win, win, win solution. Perfect recycling really!” He adds that the council had been looking for a tenant for several years. Makara Playgroup has been using it on a month by month basis, but that arrangement would have ended shortly. He says the council’s property team has been “fantastic”. “They responded really quickly and positively. It took only a month from the idea to Council approval.”

Be prepared to stay safe
Johnsonville residents should prepare to be on their own for up to seven days after a significant disaster. That was the clear message given to 16 local people at an initial meeting on June 12, called to discuss an emergency plan for the suburb. Kerry McSaveney, Community Adviser for the Wellington Regional Emergency Management Office [WREMO] stressed that early planning is vital. Local resident Stephen Cook, who initiated the response planning, says he was pleased with the range of information recorded about assets and vul-
nerabilities within the suburb. “However I am disappointed that only 16 residents attended, notwithstanding the good discussions. “We need more Johnsonville residents at our next meeting on June 26.” “That will confirm work already done and agree how the information gained can be used in a practical way to get Johnsonville up and running again.” A key message about the seven days - or more - before any official contact is made was confirmed by attendees who had lived in, or been involved with, the Christchurch
earthquakes. Kerry advises that we should look after ourselves, check on neighbours and our local street, and then if you are available and safe, go to the local emergency hub to provide wider assistance. The Johnsonville emergency hubs are at West Park and Johnsonville Schools and Kerry says the plans developed at the meetings will be available at those hubs. “You can also look at them on line at WREMO when they are completed.” The June 26 meeting, at 7pm in the Johnsonville Community Centre, will look at finding practical solutions to the critical needs of our community and

will consider matters such as information gathering, making sure people get medical assistance, ensuring that people have shelter, water, sanitation and food, and any other issues specific to the area. Stephen says the session will be family friendly, suitable for individuals, community groups and business representatives. “Our collective knowledge and assistance is going to be what gets us through!” He is encouraging more residents to attend the next meeting. “The more people we have, the wider our knowledge and the better the plan will be” he says.

Local CAB welcomes WCC rethink
inbrief news Use for spare fabric The Churton Park Boomerang Bags group can make spare fabric into fabric bags. These will eventually be given out free to the community to use as an alternative to the dreaded plastic bag. They are accepting old curtains, old sheets and pieces of unused fabric. You can drop items off at the Churton Park community centre, Monday to Friday 10 am - 2 pm.
Top documentaries Three New Zealand documentaries have been added to the New Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF) line-up for 2018. Celia, a documentary tribute to Celia Lashlie by former current affairs journalist Amanda Millar, and She Shears, the debut documentary by Jack Nicol about women competing for world titles in the male-dominated industry of sheep shearing, are confirmed to have their world premieres at NZIFF. The New Zealand premiere of Dog’s Best Friend by director Eryn Wilson will screen in Auckland and Wellington. It is set at an Australian animal rehabilitation centre, proving you can actually watch a bad dog turn good.

Ken Gurney, Johnsonville Citizen’s Advice Bureau manager is, after a “challenging” couple of weeks, able to welcome the furore following Wellington City Council’s original decision of May 31 to withdraw funding from the five city branches. The intention was to give the CAB’s six months of funding for regrouping and replacing branches with mobile facilities.
The level of public support for the service as it stands has been says Ken, “Incredible. Unbelievable.” The online petition went “berserk’ with 5000 petitioners offering support. Some “show and tell” to councillors and parliamentarians means their work is now better understood and Mayor Justin Lester has announced that WCC will partner with CAB for the next three years. The Johnsonville branch is Wellington’s biggest, with 48 trained volunteers fielding
some 600 enquiries a month Twice a year, Ken spends a day a week for seven weeks with all new CAB volunteers in the Wellington area - taking them through an induction course, followed by three months of probation. Ken says issues surrounding employment, tenancy, budgeting, separation, immigration and the ever-present disputes with neighbours are just some of their work. They must also deal with distraught clients with major life problems, and
know when to bring in specialists. He understands WCC’s funding issues, pointing out that some government departments refer clients to them. “We’re regularly doing their work for them and some of our funding should reflect that.” Ken is unsure why councils throughout the country have, at the same time, pulled funding from CAB’s though Auckland, he says, is an exception, embracing them in their strategic planning.

Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) is one of 12 transport providers which, along with the New Zealand Transport Agency, is proposing a next generation, New Zealand-wide public transport ticketing system for bus, train and ferry services. A GWRC spokesperson says the proposed system will allow customers to pay for their public transport in most places using their mobile phone, credit or debit card, or a single nationally-issued transit card. He says there are approximately 16 different ticketing systems in New Zealand which are costly to maintain and provide little choice in how passengers pay. Wellington plans to be first with the new ticketing from 2021, with other areas joining over five years.

inbrief news Smoke alarms pulled All major DIY stores have agreed to stop selling ionisation smoke alarms following a request from Consumer NZ. A recent test of smoke alarms found those alarms performed so poorly that Consumer NZ called for retailers to pull them from their shelves. Mitre10 and Hammer Hardware said they will cease selling the alarms immediately. PlaceMakers said they would “exit the balance of our ionisation alarms, which we anticipate will be completed within a matter of weeks”. Bunnings Warehouse said they would sell through their ionisation smoke alarm stock and no longer sell that product.
Fund celebrates suffrage People across Aotearoa New Zealand will, from tomorrow, be able to apply for funding to celebrate 125 years of voting for women. The Minister for Women, Julie Anne Genter, yesterday launched the $300,000 contestable fund at He Tohu – National Library, in front of the 1893 Women’s Suffrage Petition. “This funding will allow community groups to celebrate women who have led the way for women’s rights. A particular focus will be recognising Māori, Pacific and women of diverse cultures. “I encourage all New Zealanders to think of projects, big and small, to put forward that tells the story of women’s continuing campaign for equality,” Ms Genter said. For more information and to apply visit www.women.govt.nz.

Plunket problem solving in Karori By Glenise Dreaver

Former Mayor Celia Wade-Brown planted two heritage chestnut trees at the historic Halfway House over the weekend before last, continuing her support for the historic Glenside Reserve. “Celia was instrumental in obtaining Council commitment to fund the house renovation,” said Claire Bibby, president of the Glenside Progressive Association and leader of the Heritage Gardeners. “She also kick-started our heritage garden by contributing a mayoral grant, which has enabled our volunteers to purchase shrubs and trees of the Victorian era. It was great to get her back to plant these trees.” Celia’s visit was her first since the house was renovated. After planting a red flowering and pink flowering chestnut, she joined locals for afternoon tea at the house. “The site is a tribute to the locals’ hard work in saving the house, furnishing it and now replanting the garden,” says Celia.

could best handle it. He also said the organisation was committed to take the findings back to groups to discuss as they sought a model that would work for, and have ownership from, the community. There was a query about the role of independent facilitator Carolyn Watts. She and Mary Jane Rivers have been employed to run the consultation and associated survey and report back. She says a condition of doing this was an assurance that no decision on the future of the creche had already been made. The online survey had, she said, drawn 200 replies in the first three days of being put up. “It’s a great way for people to engage.” Three more workshops have been held and the survey ends on June 25. Plunket has committed to get the results back for consultation in early August.

cuss problems which emerged from the organisation’s recent unsuccessful attempt to close its Karori crèche, and its handling of the resulting furore. Duncan Scott, the organisation’s chief financial manager, is himself a Karori resident who is raising his children there. He apologised and acknowledged their errors, saying they had made assumptions and ignored and dismissed community concerns. The aftermath had, he said, been a rapid erosion of confidence in Plunket and he had at times been reminded of the community’s disappointment and anger in the street. “We want to learn from that.” However, he said, they had also had been operating on a deficit for quite a long time. “That’s incredibly challenging and I’m not apologising for that.” The question was how they

School visit by ‘Minister of New Stuff’ By Glenise Dreaver
The game coding club, Gamefroot, at Newlands Intermediate School, is proving to be a big hit. So much so that on Monday afternoon last week, the twenty children working on creating their own games were visited by
a Minister of the Crown. “I’m the Minister of New Stuff,” said Claire Curran (in reality the Minister of Broadcasting, Communications and Digital Media) “and you’re creating new stuff.” Just four of the children were girls and Gamefroot co-ordinator Dan Milward says the next step,
for next term, is to increase participation by setting up a gaming club called Girls for Gaming. Dan, a game designer by profession, is an ex-student of Newlands College and now runs Gamepro, which he describes as a Kiwi-designed and made platform from which the children can work.
He says they are looking at ways for other schools within the region to have access to their own Gamefroot coding clubs too. “The principals and senior staff in the region that I have discussed the club with can see the creation of their own coding club as a way to involve both students and teachers in understanding,
and getting excited about, the new digital technologies curriculum. And he says, the creation of a coding club has been a great way to upskill teacher capability. “Gamefroot loves helping Kiwi kids to become the next generation of game developers, tech ninjas and game design rock stars.”

Happy Hour a hit at Cashmere
Residents Clare Castle (left) and Jean Packman enjoy some red wine together at Enliven’s Cashmere Home in Johnsonville.
Head to Johnsonville’s Cashmere Home on a Wednesday or Thursday, and you might just be offered a glass of wine. That’s when the home’s residents get together to enjoy their weekly Happy Hour, during which residents enjoy a glass of white or red, or a selection of non-alcoholic beverages. “I’ve been here for a little over a year now, and I’ve found it great way to meet the other residents,” says resident Jean Packman. “It’s just a nice way to enjoy the company of friends in a relaxed, friendly environment.” The social mixer is one among a range of activities on the home’s varied social calendar. Other activities include themed parties, arts and crafts, quizzes, games and sight-seeing tours. “We try to make things as fun and interesting here as we can, staying true to our elder-centered philosophy,” says Home
manager Karen Rhind. “The Enliven philosophy is about encouraging elders to enjoy life and have as much choice, variety and companionship as possible, so if the residents feel Happy Hour helps them do that, we’re all for it!” Recreation officer Liz Rivadelo says she’s noticed people are often surprised to hear that the elders at Cashmere enjoy a regular Happy Hour. “They seem to think that once people move into a rest home, they aren’t allowed to drink anymore,” she explains. “I say to them, why not? After all, this is the residents’ home and you’d be able to have a glass of wine and relax with friends in your own home!” Enliven’s Cashmere Home is located on Helston Road, Johnsonville and offers rest home and hospital care, as well as respite and health recovery care.

Tree planting season starts
Transport survey clarifies preferences
By Glenise Dreaver
June 8 was Arbor Day, marked annually near the start of the planting season. On Wednesday June 6, Wellington City Council started the season by holding a planting bee at Melksham Drive in Churton Park. In classic Wellington weather of 9°C, facing the wind and the rain, 11 seven to ten-year-olds from the Enviro group at Johnsonville School learnt how to plant trees. Along with teachers Diane Bloomfield and Misty Olney, three WCC councillors and local MP Greg O’Connor, they were undeterred by the weather. The Churton Park planting is being done on a former pastoral farm which is being transformed into what will one day be an important recreational and nature reserve.

Most of the day’s target of 2000 trees were planted by staff, but despite the weather, the children did have some hands-on experience themselves.

A newly-released survey of Wellington residents shows 63 percent support for light rail to the airport via Newtown, with 13 percent opposed. Sixt y two percent support bus rapid transit on major routes with 7 percent opposed. Aga i n , 62 p e r c e nt support an extra Mt Victoria tunnel, with separate cycling and walking lanes, with 9 percent opposed.

You just can’t seem to lose weight? “Over the past few years I have seen hundreds of people attempting to lose weight. They have tried every fad diet, done boot camps and beaten themselves up when each time they fail to keep the weight off, or worse, ended up heavier than before.” Says Daniel, owner of Capital Ntrance, a Wellington based hypnotherapy clinic. The reason the diets don’t work long term is simple. Nothing is being done to address the reasons you were gaining weight in the first place and so, eventually, people tend to run out of willpower.
They give up the diet and go back to the way things were. The crazy thing is that they will probably feel even worse afterwards for having ‘failed’ themselves. The thing is, willpower shouldn’t even be part of the equation. When you decide to lose weight it should be easy to eat less. The fact that it’s not shows that there is something else going on with this equation. What it comes down to is that your whole mind isn’t in agreement on the issue. Habits are mental short cuts we develop in our subconscious mind and over-eating is a habit
just like any other. In the case of eating, it’s usually a habit we developed to stave off boredom or to comfort ourselves. When you realise this it becomes easy to see why diets and extreme exercise just don’t work long term. Dieting and extreme exercise are both boring and uncomfortable and our subconscious is telling us that relief from that is just one block of chocolate or scoop of chips away. To a hypnotherapist the solution is fairly simple. They work with the client to change that useless and unwanted habit into

something more healthy and rewarding. Again and again I hear the words “I just didn’t want any more food”, “it was easy” or “I just feel like I have so much more energy”. The other week I had a person tell me that they had lost 20cm around their waist over 3 weeks and they felt like they had regained themselves. “I don’t believe in diets and I don’t tell my customers what to eat. I just remind them about the things they already know. They want to move more, eat less and feel good about it. I can help them do that” says Daniel.
support a tunnel under the Basin Reserve with 11 percent opposed. Wellington Mayor Justin Lester says the single biggest thing respondents wanted is improved public transport. “There is most support for light rail to the airport and bus rapid transit, which shows people want other options than cars,” he says. He noted the strong support for a second Mt Victor ia t un nel and a Te Aro tunnel, but also support for a second Terrace tunnel (49 percent support, 15 percent opposed). “People want an arterial route that takes traffic off Vivian Street and Karo Drive and out of the heart of the city.”

Matariki at Parliament On Sunday June 24, parliamentary Speaker Trevor Mallard says Parliament will acknowledge the rising of Matariki, the stars also known as the Pleiades, which symbolises the start of a new year and new life. Highlights include story-telling and four art sessions at which children can make a Matariki headband, or a star torch so they can shine the seven stars of Matariki on their wall. Bookings are required. Contact matariki@parliament.govt.nz with the number of children attending and the preferred session time.
Canine Corner
A dog matters blog from Canine Behavioural Trainer Jan Voss
When it is Wet-Wet-Wet! In winter it’s hard to give our dogs all the exercise and stimulation they need every day. Gloomy weather makes outings less appealing. So, as well as options like Kongs and Puzzle balls, we break out the recycling. Economical and easy these satisfy those needs - but with less mud! • Empty cardboard toilet, gladwrap or paper-towel rolls – perhaps spiced with a smear of Vegemite or peanut butter. • Leftover milk, soda, and water bottles (lids removed) – made more enticing with a scatter of dry kibble inside.
• Any sealed empty cardboard boxes – destroyed with plenty of lots of energy and only a little noise. • Some meat trays from the supermarket make great lick plates with a little mince left on and in the cracks. When all done it takes just a short time to restore the kitchen to order, but the reduction of “canine cabin fever” makes this so worthwhile.

St Mary’s College hall will soon resound to the music and style of the roaring 1920’s, when the Charleston was hot and gangsters and flappers ruled. Ken Duncan’s Kiwi adaption of the tragi-comic musical The Great Gatsby is in rehearsal at St Mary’s College with a cast of 28 and a strong back-up crew giving their all. Auditions were held for male roles
and the lead role of Jay Gatbsy went to Daniel Stockton of Wellington College. Year 11 students Hinemoa Tucker and Dorothy-Anne Harris are in charge of wardrobe and have, says director Sha Wray, spent every lunch time since the start of the year making the costumes. “And they took them home sometimes.” Although there are 28 cast members some students are taking two roles so the final number of
costumes is, she says, far greater than 28. Glamour is important, but so is sustainability and Sha estimates that 98 percent of the costumes are upcycled. The Great Gatsby runs in the school hall from 7pm on Wednesday June 27 to Saturday June 30. Tickets are available from the school office at a cost of $15 for adults and $10 for students.

Greg O’Connor
MP for Ōhāriu
Greg.OConnor@parliament.govt.nz Facebook.com/GregOhariu Twitter.com/GregOhariu Authorised by Greg O’Connor, Parliament Buildings, Wellington
I experienced one of those nice moments in politics recently when one of my Ōhāriu constituents approached me to say what a lovely surprise it was to receive a letter telling her she would receive the Winter Energy Payment introduced by our government this year. It will make a difference to her life and being able to stay warm at home will reduce the chance of her getting sick. It was good to get that feedback. This is why I entered politics; to make a difference. The fact many families will also receive a boost to their income from the Working For Families package, which, like the Winter Energy Payment, kicks in next month, is another way we are ensuring a fairer deal for New Zealanders. Naturally the opposition will continue their negative attacks but I’m confident Kiwis are smart enough to see the short and long term benefits to our country of giving everyone a fair go. I accompanied two Cabinet Ministers on visits to local schools last week. Ministers Clare Curran and Tracey Martin got a good feel for education issues at Newlands Intermediate and Johnsonville School respectively. A big advantage of being in Government is having access to
decision makers, and of course to show off the electorate. Back in Parliament, our select committees are hearing from Cabinet Ministers about how the money allocated in the budget is to be spent. This is the machinery of Government where, despite all the noise being generated through the media, things get done. The Justice Select Committee I sit on has started hearing the 3,700 submissions on the End of Life Choice Bill. That will keep us very busy but I have excellent staff in my Johnsonville office to make sure we look after the electorate’s demands – please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have a question, need some advice or have some information you’d like to share with us. My contact details are below. Volunteers are the heart and soul of most organisations I interact with in the electorate and this week is National Volunteer Week. Your work is appreciated, if not always acknowledged, by your fellow citizens and this week is a way of formally recognising your efforts. On behalf of the Government and the recipients of your good work, thank you. And of course, at the time of writing this, we await baby news!Greg.OConnor@parliament.govt.nz Facebook.com/GregOhariu

$3.5m for major health research projects Three Victoria University of Wellington-led research teams will receive a grant of more than $3.5m from the latest Health Research Council (HRC) of New Zealand funding round. The first team is focussed on combatting hard-to-treat bacteria that occupy the top spots on the World Health Organisation’s Priority Pathogens List.
The second team is targeting the debilitating neurological disease MS. (New Zealanders have one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world.) The third project will investigate ways to integrate opt-in digital interventions with an online health survey, trialling interventions for high school students in the north of the North Island.
Volunteers needed for Diabetes study University of Otago researchers are developing a new natural product that could prevent diabetes. The product is a natural extract derived from the dahlia plant. Research on mice has shown real promise says University of Otago, Wellington, Endocrinologist, Associate Professor Dr Jeremy Krebs. The next step is a preliminary clinical study, with 20 male participants, between 18
and 65 years old who have prediabetes, required from the Wellington area where testing is taking place. “Prediabetes is where blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to meet criteria for diabetes. About 25% of adult population have prediabetes,and most will go on to develop diabetes if they don’t do anything about it” Dr Krebs says.

Go-ahead for trimmed-down Ten Year Plan Wellington’s Mayor and councillors have passed the 10-Year Plan and it will be formally adopted at the full Council meeting on June 27. Most Wellingtonians will welcome the news that the city’s rates increase, originally proposed at 4.5 percent, has come down to an average increase of 3.8 percent a year over the 10 years. Wellington Mayor Justin Lester says the plan gives the council the mandate to move ahead on plans for resilience, housing, transport,
a sustainable economy and the creative and cultural sector. And locals will welcome the news that the proposed $1.1m grant for the Khandallah pool and park area has gone through, with the 2022 date for that giving time for the additional fundraising that will be necessary to complete the work. The Mayor says officers have worked hard to trim the fat and find alternative avenues of funding, despite increased insurance costs. “For example, the New Zealand Transport Agency has increased
its cap on funding, which means a net gain for us of about $2m a year,” he says. The long-term and annual plan committee on Wednesday agreed the council should adopt the LongTerm Annual Plan following a consultation process that attracted more than 2000 public submissions. The plan involves investing $2.31b in capital projects, with $280m to be spent on improving key transport corridors, wastewater and water infrastructure.
There will be $118.5m allocated to protect the water supply, including building 22 community water stations across Wellington. Wellington’s largest reservoir will be built under Omaroro Park in Mt Cook, designed to hold 35m litres of water. Further investing in social and affordable housing is signalled, and there is $122m allocated to partner with NZ Transport Agency and Greater Wellington Regional Council to transform Wellington’s transport infrastructure.
Plans include building light rail from the CBD to southern and eastern suburbs, prioritisation for walking and cycling, and removing arterial routes from city streets. There is $16m budgeted for such major cultural events as the World of Wearable Arts, Wellington on a Plate, the New Zealand Festival and Matariki. The $111m budgeted for cultural venues is intended to ensure their ongoing future and enhance their accessibility for artists.

Ultramarathoner leads big team on adventure of their lives By Glenise Dreaver
On July 14, Eve Southan is running a 62k ultramarathon to raise money for the Johnsonville-based national support service, PADA, that works for those with Perinatal Anxiety and Depression. Not only that, she’s taking ten teams of three with her, mainly local runners. That’s thirty runners whose massive effort is being sponsored by friends, family and supporters through the appropriately-named Everyday Hero page. “The runners are doing 20k each for their team, and we also have a couple of runners doing the full distance,” she says. They are all training with Eve who takes a group trail running in the Wellington hills
every Sunday. “A lot of them have never done trail running or run 20k,” she says. “So it’s a really big commitment. A big effort” Eve herself did the ultra marathon last year, raising some $2700 for PADA, but hopes to raise even more this time round. She has been off-road running for about two years and the group of runners come from the Life In Motion community. Life In Motion is a community-based group fitness business offering free and low cost classes in the northern suburbs. Life In Motion has been running free Sunday group runs for about a year, which have evolved into WUU2K training for the group. “We run a section every Sunday and it’s going pretty well,” she says.
The sections get longer as they go as they prepare for the Khandallah Park to Mt Victoria event. They will start at the bottom of Mt Kaukau, go up over the Skyline, up the Trail to Brooklyn and on through Owhiro Bay to Mount Victoria. The run is an ideal way to support PADA Eve says. “There’s a big link between movement, exercise and mental health.” She also sees the chatting and laughing, the sense of community in the
groups just as important to mental health. Eve holds a diploma in Exercise Science and runs about 12 Life In Motion group fitness classes a week in the community And If you’d like to run your own fundraising event to raise money for PADA you can either go directly to their Everyday Hero fundraising page at https://give.everydayhero.com/nz/ life-in-motion-wuu2k-teams, or contact the PADA team on 04 461 6318.

Orienteering success for Wilton schoolboy

Selections for the New Zealand Secondary Schools Orienteering Team were made at the JAFA orienteering competition over Queens Birthday weekend. Wilton’s Felix Williamson, a Wellington College student, was successful, being selected for the team which will compete for the Southern Cross Trophy in Adelaide as part of the Australian Championships carnival which runs from September 29 to October 7. That competition sees the New Zealand students come up against the Australian States and Territories. Felix will also compete in the National Secondary Schools Orienteering championships in Christchurch in the July school holidays.
Mediocrity can happen to the best of us The All Blacks 26-13 win over France on Saturday night would be one of the toughest watches in recent memory. So scrappy was the performance that it would be easy to say the All Blacks will play much better in future and lose. The All Blacks’ victory never felt threatened after French fullback Benjamin Fall was shown red in the 12th minute after a collision under a high kick with Beauden Barrett saw the New Zealand pivot land on his shoulder and neck. While there was zero intent from the Frenchman, by 2018 standards it is a red card, even if many fans, myself included, fear the game is getting too liberal with the send offs. With Barrett missing the rest of the game after failing his Head Injury Assessment, the game lost all its shape. Yes, the French scrambled and disrupted well to ensure the score didn’t blow out but there were also plenty of things to ponder for the men in black.
The Damien McKenzie trial as the back up option at No 10 simply didn’t work. It’s safe to say the All Blacks would have played with more structure and composure in attack with a genuine pivot like Richie Mo’unga on the reserves. The All Blacks were regularly beaten to the breakdown, often a sticking point with Sam Cane, who is an outstanding tackler but isn’t a traditional fetcher at ruck time like many No 7s before him. The Wellington crowd which turned up, and no doubt paid top dollar for the privilege, could have been rightly frustrated by the performance. Yes, a win is a win and it was comfortable but the match was dull, with poor individual skills. With the series won, expect plenty of fresh faces for the third test as the All Blacks look to find their spark. Efforts like Saturday night should be quickly forgotten from an entertainment stand-point but there are lessons which must be learned.
