Poll: Do you reckon the Chiefs can do it on Saturday?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

As the Chiefs aim to make it third-time-lucky in their quest for sweet Super Rugby Pacific success, they are vowing to this time get things right in the discipline department to give them a better tilt at a long-awaited title.

The Hamilton-based franchise, who on Monday had positive news to report in fullback Shaun Stevenson having cleared HIA protocols to be available for a last outing before jetting to Japan next season, take on the Crusaders in Christchurch in Saturday night’s final, seeking a first championship in a dozen years.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waipā District Council says the government’s “one size fits all” proposal to cap rate rises could disproportionately harm fast-growing councils such as Waipā.
