Poll: Do you like the idea of bands at the rugby?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Rugby fans have been left disgruntled, but the Chiefs are defending their big price-hike to tickets − some more than tripling from last week − for Saturday’s action at FMG Stadium Waikato.

It comes as the Super Rugby franchise hosts a unique ‘Rugby and Rhythms’ event featuring a double-header of games at their Hamilton home venue, as well as live music from Kiwi artists in and around the ground.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
