French rugby stars meet tamariki who are Deaf and hard of hearing

Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

Tamariki who are Deaf and hard of hearing met players from the French women's Rugby World Cup 2021 team at Eden Park on Wednesday.

The young rugby fans got the chance to toss the ball around with French rugby stars Maëlle Filopon​, who is hard of hearing and plays as centre, and lock for the French women's national rugby team Manaé Feleu​.

“When we found out Maëlle was hard of hearing, we thought, ‘What a lovely opportunity for her to come and meet some kids and hopefully inspire them to get involved in sports,’” said Maryke Penman,​​ Rugby World Cup communications manager.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
