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.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
