Poll: Did you watch Saturday's game?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

After the Blues tried and narrowly failed, the Chiefs will embrace the chance to instead be the ones to conquer the Christchurch curse, after booking themselves a spot in yet another Super Rugby Pacific final.

With an impressive 37-17 bounce-back win over the Brumbies in their semifinal in Hamilton, the two-time reigning runners-up will be looking to make it third-time-lucky in Saturday night’s big dance against the Crusaders.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
