Did you watch Saturday's game?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Rookie hooker Millennium (Mills) Sanerivi will wait on tenterhooks, with the 24-year-old Aucklander on the verge of being thrust into a dramatic Super Rugby Pacific debut with the banged-up Chiefs in Saturday night’s final against the Blues at Eden Park.

Clayton McMillan’s side progressed to a second successive decider with a 30-19 semifinal victory over the Hurricanes in Wellington on Saturday evening, but their gutsy win over the top seeds has come at plenty of cost, with a bulging casualty ward to assess after arriving back in Hamilton.

Have you been past the old theatre lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It was a spectacle that would have thrilled anyone’s inner three-year-old.

And, on Tuesday afternoon, some actual three and two-year-olds were lucky enough to be among those looking on as a pair of gigantic orange demolition excavators tore into the northern wall of Hamilton’s Founders Theatre in the manner of ravenous monsters.
