Ardern meets war veteran John Sato Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made a special trip to Howick over the weekend to meet locals and war veteran John Sato.

By THERESE HENKIN

acinda Ardern visited Howick over the weekend for one very special reason. The Prime Minister was here to meet John Sato, the 95-year old Howick war veteran who received global recognition for his efforts to attend an anti-racism rally in Auckland. The pair shared a heartfelt embrace when they met. Sato thanked Ardern for leading the country through such a tragedy and Ardern thanked Sato for going to such great lengths to stand up against racism.

Ardern told the Times she was overwhelmed by Sato's story. Sato, one of only two Japanese servicemen in the New Zealand army in World War II, felt compelled to show his support for the Muslim community following the Christchurch terror attacks. Sato left his house on Sunday morning, March 24 to visit a mosque in Pakuranga before deciding to go into Auckland City centre for an anti-racism march. In a photo that has since caught the attention of people across the world, Sato is seen flanked by a police officer and a member of the public as they fall behind the March.

Ardern said the photo was so powerful, she found herself coming back to it over and over again. She said meeting Sato was a privilege and that he is an inspiring reminder of kindness, love and courage. The last few weeks, Ardern says, have made her immensely proud of New Zealand and the way communities across the country have come together. Sato briefly addressed the crowd and said, ““What I’ve seen since that terrible occasion in Christchurch, is the way people have brought out what’s within them and that is genuine care and love...

“We are all part of one family – the human family. Let’s not forget that we do care for each other.” The pair sat down, along with around 70 other invited guests at the Howick Bowling Club to watch a fun musical performance by the Cockle Bay Primary School Choir. Ardern sung along with the youngsters and then spent the rest of the afternoon chatting with Sato. Arden later shared a tribute to Sato with her 596,000 instagram followers. “Thank you John,” she wrote. “Your actions warmed the hearts of so many during a time of such sad➤ More photos Page 2 ness.”

Bridge safe after truck crash Mangemangeroa Gorge Bridge on Whitford Road has been declared safe after a concrete mixing truck went over the barrier last Thursday afternoon and landed in the gorge below. Police and emergency services were called after the truck rolled and went down the bank at around 1pm. The driver of the truck and only occupant of the vehicle was transported to Middlemore Hospital with serious injuries. Part of the road was closed for several hours and diversions were put in place. The truck hit the bridge handrail and Auckland Transport (AT) said a structural assessment of the handrail was undertaken. The handrail was strengthened last year so that it could withstand an impact loading such as the truck crash on Thursday. A Beca structural inspector visited the site on Tuesday. “His observation is that the damage only exists on the steel barrier and the parapet,” says AT spokesperson Mark Hannan. “[The] bridge appears undamaged. Some cracks and loose concrete were observed on the parapet on the outer face. Some barrier posts will require replacement.” A 30 km/h speed limit has been imposed on the bridge and approaches, so that vehicles can continue to use the bridge.

A memo has been sent to all organisations attending the Anzac Day commemorations Times photo Wayne Martin on April 25 April.

Anzac parade called off but service still on

owick’s Anzac Day parades have been cancelled following police requests however “static services” will still go ahead. Howick RSA has advised that the NZ Police have requested that all Anzac Day parades be cancelled in light of the terror attacks in Christchurch which claimed 50 lives. “The threat level remains high and marching parades may make a tempting target,” the RSA note said. “To adequately cover all Anzac events, the NZ Police prefer a static service without marching.” The Howick Local Board, along with

the Howick RSA, have agreed to cancel the Dawn and Civic Parades but stress that the Dawn and Civic Commemoration Services on Stockade Hill will still proceed at 6.05am and 11am respectively. “Groups attending should gather on Stockade Hill at the entrance to the cenotaph area from where they will be directed to their assigned position,” the note said. “No groups should gather on the roads around Stockade Hill.” ■■ Please contact the organiser Mike Cole 0212388464 or the Howick RSA (5349702) if there are any queries.

Gentle Yoga coming to Uxbridge A new yoga programme starts at Uxbridge this month and is kicking off with a free session. It’s called Gentle Yoga, and is perfect for older practitioners or those that are recovering from an injury or who have not practiced recently. Juliet Slogrove, who teaches the class, says yoga does not have to be about how successfully you can tie yourself into a pretzel or how long you can hold the posture. “Gentle yoga is about deepening your connection with and coming home to your own body,” she says. “[It’s about] taking time to explore body and breath moving together through slow, gentle rhythms. Turning inwards and taking the time to notice and feel, ultimately restoring balance in life.” The classes are also suitable for beginners or anyone of any age who just wants to practice in their own time without feeling judgement or comparison. “I am a great believer in the transforming and healing power of yoga. Yoga will not change our lives, but it can alter the way we live them. “Our lives are so filled with rush and worry that it is all too easy to forget about the joy of just being,” Juliet says. Classes will cover the following: ■ Pranayama: Working with the breath to centre and energise. ■ Slow flow to strengthen, tone and increase flexibility. ■ Restorative to calm and still the mind. ■ Savasana: The deepest healing takes place in the stillness that ends the practice. The programme starts with a free intro class at Uxbridge April 17, 9-10am. Please bring mats, but there will be a few spares.

Progress on public transport and mental health

MP for Botany

s term one of school comes to an end, this week also marks the end of the current Parliamentary session. A lot has happened so far this year politically. I’m pleased to see New Zealand’s gun laws are being reformed in the wake of the horrific terror attack in Christchurch on March 15. Hopefully these changes will make our country safer. It’s also good to learn $10.5 million is being invested to expand Middlemore Hospital’s acute mental health unit, Tiaho Mai, which will enable it to accommodate 76 patients. I’m a huge advocate for the exceptional and difficult work the unit’s staff do. I’ve seen their skill and compassion first-hand, and they deserve more resources to help those in need. It’s disappointing, however, that the Government is yet to announce what changes it will make to the sector more than four months after it received the report stemming from its inquiry into mental health and addiction. More needs to be done to improve people’s access to primary mental health care and

also to remind Kiwis of all ages that it isn’t weak to ask for help when they need it. I have called for the Government to do just that and will continue to advocate for action to be taken. Regular viewers of Parliament TV will know the question time format at 2pm on a sitting day. This year I have been asking Transport Minister Phil

Twyford about the progress being made on creation of a busway between Auckland Airport and Botany/Howick. Local commuters deserve access to fast, efficient, and affordable public transport. A busway along Te Irirangi Drive is also a logical continuation of the Eastern Busway that is now under construction. Finally, locals may have noticed new signage at my Bot-

any Road electorate office. We are fully staffed and fully functional, and my focus remains on serving our community as your local MP. Our team have helped thousands of people over the years and we continue to provide local constituency services. Please don’t hesitate to stop by or phone us on 271-3255. Jami-Lee Ross MP for Botany

Basalt’s new Business Leader J

oylab, one of New Zealand’s largest hospitality networks, has announced Rob Marchant as the new Business Leader at ‘Basalt’. Known by locals as the gem of Howick Village for over 10 years, Basalt is one of the original Monteith’s bars in Auckland and boasts a rooftop bar that attracts cheerful crowds and plenty of sun. Rob heads the team at Basalt after working his way up and across the Joylab network over 8 years, including a stint at Basalt previously before coming back as BL. He started as a cleanshaven bartender working once a week, then grew into more senior roles as his beard evolved. He’s more than just a bearded success story – Rob’s team praises his stalwart work ethic, hearty laugh, and devotion to his family - both at work and at home. Joylab recognised Rob’s hard work, staying true to their values for “growing the good” and giving him every opportunity to build a satisfying career in hospitality. Alongside Rob, Basalt is bringing more to the table this April school holidays – a perfect time for families to spend quality time together. Basalt are offering a free kids meal for any regular meal purchased, which includes a kids menu packed with healthy mini-meals that satisfy the little ones without being bland or boring.

Rob is also introducing a new reason for the locals to stop in and say hi, with ‘Rob’s Shout’ every weekday till 7pm, including $10 glasses of Heineken, Tiger, Tohu, and Brancott.

Pigeon Mountain restoration begins W

ork starts this month on a programme to restore native vegetation and habitat for native wildlife on Ohuiarangi [Pigeon Mountain] in Half Moon Bay. Around 112 exotic trees, including pest species, will be removed and more than 30,000 new native shrubs and trees will be planted in selected locations. It became known as Pigeon Mountain (pictured) in early European times for the numerous Kereru or native pigeon that lived on the mountain, and the planting programme will include tree and plant species that are hoped will encourage Kereru back to the mountain in the future. From April 8 arborists will begin the tree removal, which is expected to take around 20 days to complete. From May to August this year 500 native shrubs will be planted on the summit terraces and another 1200 native shrubs and trees around the quarry slope areas of the mountain. Some of the 30,000 new native shrubs and trees being added around the wetland ecological area on the western side of Pigeon Mountain Road will be planted this Autumn, and the remaining over 2020-2021. Paul Majurey, chair of the

Tupuna Maunga Authority, says that re-establishing indigenous flora and fauna and restoring the authenticity of the historic mountain sites across Auckland is a long-term goal. “Native vegetation is one of the natural features of the [mountain] that has diminished over many decades, replaced by an increasing number of exotic species. This programme of work will have important longterm ecological benefits for the [mountain].” “This restoration is very much about restoring what we can of the original ecology while also giving prominence to and maintaining historic features,” says Majurey. No existing native, scheduled or protected trees will be removed. The new plantings will be carefully positioned to

enhance sight lines to and from the summit. Terrace planting will take a non-dig approach to avoid ground disturbance. Pigeon Mountain will remain open to visitors throughout the works but people are asked to avoid areas where arborists are working. For three days in mid-April Pigeon Mountain will be completely closed while a helicopter is assisting tree removals. Signage explaining the project and temporary closures will be at entrance points. More information about the Tupuna Maunga Authority, including the Tupuna Maunga Integrated Management Plan, can be found at www.maunga. nz. ■ Save the trees, see letters, page 16

School raises a gumboot It was gumboots galore at Sunnyhills School on Friday. Students and staff participated in the nationwide ‘I am Hope’ Gumboot Friday event for mental health. New Zealand of the Year, Mike King is the face of the campaign and says “Having depression is like walking through mud every day. So on Friday 5 April 2019, we’re asking you to show your support. Put your gumboots on, give a gold coin, and take a walk in their shoes for just one day.” Gumboot Friday is a fun way for

kiwis to join in the mental health conversation, while raising money to provide free and timely counselling for any kid in need. Justine Driver, Sunnyhills Principal, says the day was a huge success. “We were thrilled with the Sunnyhills community support raising $528.60 for this worthy cause,” she says. “Promoting well being for all and developing the whole child is part of the special character of Sunnyhills School.”

he sun was shining and the colour stations were set for the first ever Botany Downs Primary Colour Fun Run on Sunday. The whole community came out in full force, starting out with a sea of crisp white t-shirts and ending in a rainbow of colours. With some help from the local Howick firemen, runners were sprayed with fire hoses before making their way around a 1km colour course through the school, which included a lap through the nature garden. Participants had to navigate fun obstacles such as a maze with a foam cannon, a spider web rope and hula hoops. They also had to run through five colour stations where they were splattered with coloured powder. A large group of teachers including principal, Mr T, were game enough to run the gauntlet and get heavily doused in powder by the students which was a highlight for all. The day concluded with a spectacular grand finale colour throw where the whole crowd threw a rainbow of colours into the air. The day was filled with entertainment from local fitness and dance groups, including

flossing competitions from the students. Amazing raffles and spot prizes were won thanks to generous sponsors who donated to the event- most were from local businesses who wanted to support the school.

The Botany Downs Primary PTA would especially like to thank Platinum Hardware & Glass and Les Mills Howick for their contribution and support. All proceeds from this event will go towards upgrading the school playgrounds.

Songwriter fighting for Stockade Hill views with music T

he fight to save Stockade Hill views now has a catchy tune. Howick songwriter Tony King has written a song about the long-standing battle to save the iconic views that can be seen from on and around Stockade Hill. Inspiration struck one day as he found himself thinking about the view out to the Hauraki Gulf and what it would be like if one day it was gone. Now King and a team of singers, musicians, and film crew have been going full steam ahead to release the song along with a music video in hopes of raising awareness and money for the cause. The song is called ‘Standing on

Stockade Hill’ and the collective of performers who brought the song to life are called “Stock Aid”, King says, in a nod to Band Aid. “The song is really my personal viewpoint of losing the magnificent views we have as we drive passed Stockade Hill coming in to Howick. But it could be anyone’s viewpoint or for that matter all of us collectively,” he says. The music video is based around scenes shot in the studio with the various singers/musicians involved, some behind the scenes shots. There’s just one more shot to get before the song can be released, and they need your help. “We need a crowd to sing or pretend to sing the very lines [“Standing up on Stockade Hill

You don’t need to be a good singer to take part, and people of all ages and walks of life are welcome. On the day, King and his team will give you all the information you need, as well as a preview of the song. ■■ Email Tony King or Phil Taylor with your details and they will get back to you - tonyking@xtra. co.nz or pjtaylor.pj@gmail.com

Board chair David Colling says a development plan based on ideas submitted by the local community was accepted last year. “We were pleased to get support for the concepts, and to have been able to make changes suggested by the people who will use the park.” The Hugh Green Group

on a narrow bridge without footpaths that the children must cross. Board chair David Collings says Auckland Transport will soon release details of a fund it will have available for road safety improvement projects, and the bridge was a “no-brainer”. “We have talked about a

variety of projects to help Te Uho o Te Nikau and, although no decisions have been made, we have earmarked $1 million of our Transport Capital Fund as a reserve for future delivery of the project, and we will investigate using the Regional Safety Fund in June.” School board of trustees

member Karen Gibson has urged the board to use its powers to encourage others to act as quickly as possible, because the situation represents a danger to young children. “We have little ones crossing to and from school, and that bridge is an accident waiting to happen.”

Sunday night (April 7) saw more than two hours of exciting, top quality guitar music, staged by Auckland Guitar School at the Uxbridge Theatre in Howick. The Howick-based guitar school’s little Gig concert showcased a diverse range of performers playing everything from George Ezra and Ed Sheeran through to Pink Floyd and Cream. The set also boasted a number of original songs performed and sung by their composers. In all, it was an exceptionally professional and entertaining show with some stunning performances played to a sold-out audience. As owner/teacher Dylan Kay explains: “These concerts

are incredible experiences for the performers, and it’s great to be able to have them entertain an audience like this and show them what they can do.

“Our annual Big Gigs have become an important feature of student life at the school and we were very excited to be able to bring a stripped-down version to our

favourite local venue. “We’re very proud of the quality of all our students and we’ll be doing this again! “There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes. Preparing for the show really brings the students closer together, creating a great sense of community amongst the performers, with many of them getting together to rehearse and jam outside the classes. “This is what it’s all about – they form lasting friendships and learn what it’s like to really play music with other people.” Auckland Guitar School is Auckland’s biggest specialist guitar school, teaching kids and adults, from total beginners through to advanced level.

The design team at Studio Pacific Architecture are honoured to contribute to the making of this special place of remembrance for those who lost their lives. “It is a privilege for us to contribute towards a memorial experience that captures their adventurous spirit,” Studio Pacific Architecture founding director Nick Barratt-Boyes said.

Don’t try and ‘fix’ history

The ever-offended of Generation Snowflake have now set their sights on the Canterbury Crusaders - seeing their name as politically incorrect. The ‘Crusaders’ stand for a righteous struggle. ‘Knight’ imagery is meant to characterise chivalry and nobility. Knights are supposed to fight for and protect the weak... surely the exact values one would wish to support and promote? Some imagery derives from the religious crusades of the Middle East. But people conflate this struggle with the recent tragedy in Christchurch; the only real link is victimology. “The Crusades” are not synonymous with an oppressive Western culture; rather they were the victims. The typical thinking about the Crusades is focused on a small segment of the struggle; those of around the 13th Century when armies from Europe tried to reclaim the Jewish and Christian “Holy

Sites” and to protect the rights of pilgrimage. Remember that these religions started in Jerusalem and their origin was taken from them and desecrated. But the Crusades actually started long before that and continued long after. The Crusades started when Islamic forces invaded Spain in about 711. The invading Islamic Omayyad (or Umayyad) Empire dominated Spain for hundreds of years - the caliphate was the 5th largest empire in the world at the time. The huge majority of battles were fought on European soil. For hundreds of years, Islamic expansion continued with imperialistic, aggressive incursions into Europe, right to the gates of Vienna. In a classical sense, the final victory was not achieved until the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The survival of Western civilisation, as we know it, is, in part, due to the survival of Europe. An unnecessary change in the Crusaders’ name due to a misplaced sense of political correctness and a poor understanding of history is unwarranted. It should be with some pride and appreciation that we regard the values arising from the concepts of chivalry, nobility and fighting for the dispossessed. When we look back on history, look at what has been achieved rather than constantly looking for guilt. We should learn from, rather than try to ‘fix history’ - by obliterating any symbols, or records, of things we choose to be offended by.

Best spot for a tent?

Mike Turinsky organised the clean up bringing together local residents, members of the point of view Heritage Association, The Pakuranga Chinese Association and the Flat Bush Ormiston Ethnic Association on Sunday to do Photo supplied a good clean up the area.

A start on Point View rubbish The view on Point View Drive is great unless you look down at the ground. Many responsible people use the spot on Point View Drive to relax and enjoy the view, leaving nothing behind. Others, however, are drinking alcohol, abusing drugs, smoking and engaging in public sexual activity there: leaving the evidence behind. The rubbish, illegal dumping, and partying is an ongoing issue that the locals have been dealing with. Police are very aware of the situation and have increased patrols in that area. This is a complicated location as it is a combination of privately owned vacant land and Auckland Transport council berm and footpath.

Local residents say they have complained to council numerous times, including bringing it to the attention directly to local board member, Mike Turinsky as well as to whole Howick Local Board at a “Talk to the Board session”. There is not a simple solution, but it might include Auckland Transport, council facilities, the owner of the property and local residents together. For now, what we can do is get together to take the existing rubbish away. That’s something we can do now whilst the other elements are investigated. In total we filled 64 bags of rubbish.

David Grossart Mellons Bay

■■ Auckland Council team manager compliance Max Wilde responds: An Auckland Council staff member visited the site at Mellons Bay on Monday night (April 1) and found an individual living in a tent, next to their car. We spoke to the individual and advised them that living in a tent at that location was a breach of the Public Safety and Nuisances Bylaw, and asked them to relocate. “If they do not move on, we will apply our graduated enforcement process to resolve the matter. In the first instance, we try and achieve compliance with the bylaw by providing advice and education. We are not aware of the individual also sleeping in their car. When we’re aware of people sleeping rough we have an established system of notifying outreach workers. Our primary concern is always the well-being of the people involved. ➤➤More Feedback page 16

Save the Pigeon Mountain/ Ohuiarangi trees My son and I (are concerned) about the trees coming down on Ohuiarangi/Pigeon Mountain. The first trees have come down today (Monday) and I wanted to follow up and say that I respect the work of the Tupuna Maunga Authority and their right to make decisions regarding the maunga. I acknowledge their work so far but also wish to point out that it would be wrong to assume that local communities don’t have strong feelings and connections with the maunga among them. Recently I read that Mike Smith, the protester who cut down the tree on Maungakiekie, had some regrets when he realised the connection people in the community had with that tree. It would go a long way toward promoting a united, though varied, community, to acknowledge the connection we all have to the land we live in. It can so easily become a divisive issue when people don’t feel heard, as the Maunga Authority will know from Maori experience. The first trees have come down, but work will take 20 days, so there is still time for compromise if the Authority can be the ‘bigger person’ in this situation.Caleb has set up a petition on change.org which has garnered over

200 signatures to date.It would be fantastic if the stronger, healthy trees could be spared for the sake of the community and the Maunga Authority could either undertake to replant areas to be felled with indigenous trees, or allow community initiatives to do this, as we now understand it, no planting is scheduled for the sites where the trees are coming down. Caleb’s petition can be found at Save the Pigeon Mountain Trees on www.change.org.

This intersection is bad news Thank you kind sir

I would like to ask the very generous benefactor who left a couch at the bus stop opposite 103 Macleans Road why he/she did not provide the legs for the couch? It would have made it much easier for travellers waiting for a bus to relax!

Ian Williamson, Bucklands Beach

What side should we wear poppy on? With Poppy Day coming up this Friday, April 12, I am wondering if you can place a notice regarding the correct side to wear our poppies. The correct placement of our Anzac poppy is on the left-hand side of our jackets - ‘over the heart’. We wear them to remember all those who have served. I see many worn on the righthand side.

Coralie La Roche, Shelly Park

Your main article on page 1 today (Times, April 4) highlights the continual problem this intersection has. I am a local so use this road regularly usually coming from the Panmure direction. I can categorically say that on every light change to continue up the highway we have to wait for three cars to run the red light before it is safe to move off. On several occasions I have been quick enough to get a registration number and have reported them on the online police site. Who knows what happens after that? It has been going on for many years but nothing ever seems to happen. I feel really sad for Ajay and his family living under that continued threat.

Pak claims last minute win By NICK KRAUSE Pakuranga United Rugby Club Premiers pulled a trick out of the bag to clinch a 26-21 win against a fiery Papatoetoe on Saturday. The win, secured two minutes after the final whistle, gives Pakuranga two wins from two starts. PURC director of rugby Pita Alatini said it could have ended so differently. The Access Solutions Prems held a comfortable 21-7 lead at half-time too. “We were confident but still had to go through with some hard work,” said Alatini. “Our first half was very good, really clinical... we played according to the game plan.” It began to crumble in the second half. “We were our own worst enemy in the second half and made crucial errors. “Papatoetoe punished us...everything started to click for them.” In the 82nd minute with the score at 21-all, Papatoetoe made an error resulting in a scrum with PURC rewarded with a massive final push through multiple phases from inside their own half. “I admire that. I was pleased for the guys showing the confidence to really go for a result.” PURC play at home to East Tamaki on Saturday. ■ Access Solutions Pakuranga Premiers 26 v Papatoetoe 21. ■ Try-scorers: George Tainia, William Rew, Lemeki Namoa (2). Conv: George Tainia (3) ■ Maria Raos Ray White Premier Reserves 19 v Papatoetoe 22 ■ Try-scorers: Quentin Hill, Michael Kosetatino, Romney Koraua. Conv: Michael Kosetatino, Ben Lyford.

Has Nonu stepped into World Cup contention? I

f there were any doubts soon to be 37-year-old Ma’a Nonu was too old to play in this year’s Rugby World Cup in Japan, he quashed them at Eden Park on Saturday with a brilliant performance in the Blues’ gripping 32-29 Super Rugby win against the Waratahs. Not only did he set up two tries with slick passing, but sprinted 43m to score one himself and added a 55m wipers kick into the corner to put his team on attack. Nonu and Dan Carter joined captain Richie McCaw and several other All Blacks in bowing out of international rugby upon being the first team to successfully defend the Webb Ellis Cup in 2015 with a 34-17 win against Australia. It was a much more convincing World Cup finale than the nervous 8-7 one whitebaiter Stephen Donald clinched with a penalty in 2011 against France at Eden Park when injuries had previously sidelined top first-fives Carter and Aaron Cruden.

A major reason for the resounding 2015 triumph was the outstanding form of Nonu and International Player of the Year Carter who rose to the occasion after an injuryplagued build-up had hid his talent. However loyal head coach Steve Hansen, a great believer in experience, never doubted Carter’s ability and was richly rewarded for his faith. The odds are he also won’t close his eyes to 103-test veteran Nonu’s claims after his stunning performance against theWaratahs. Up until then the smarts and toughness remained. But his lack of genuine pace was exposed in the first game of this Super Rugby season when speedy Crusaders centre Braydon Ennor twice swerved around him. With Nonu sharing Blues second-five duties with Sonny Bill Willlams, there is no shortage of quality All Black midfield candidates beyond the Blues pair. Ryan Crotty and Anton Lienert-Brown combined

Agnew’s Angle

superbly when filling the vacancy left by Nonu and Conrad Smith’s international retirement. Both are fine all-rounders with few weaknesses and Lienert-Brown has an uncanny ability to unload passes which reap tries from tight situations. Williams, 33. is renowned for his offloads and at a powerful 108kg is the same weight as Nonu. Crotty, 30, and nuggety 98kg 23-year-old Jack Goodhue have formed a strong combination for the champion Crusaders with Crotty’s passes being a major factor behind the team’s latest 36-14 humbling of the Brumbies. But for incredible try-scoring ability, no midfield back in the country can match 25-year-old, 97kg Hurricanes cannonball Ngani Laumape. With such depth available,

sorting out the best centre partnership for World Cup duty remains one of the toughest tasks facing the selectors. The other, with Sam Cane recovering from a broken neck, is sorting out the No 7 berth. Brave and tough, the fearless Cane has been good value. But the clever Todd and especially the athletic Ardie Savea pose a serious challenge. With two glorious tries in the Hurricanes 33-28 Dunedin thriller against the Highlanders, Savea fully illustrated his incredible talent and made a wonderful try-saving tackle beyond the scope of most forwards. Although only 97kg, he punches well beyond his weight with his strong leg drive and is playing the best rugby of his career. Meanwhile with blindside flanker Liam Squire another recovering from injury, Highlander Shannon Frizell had the edge over Vaea Fifita in the Dunedin clash. ■ Ivan Agnew is an awardwinning sports writer
