Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Raglan’s got so many Airbnbs that market owners struggling for clients are turning the spaces into long-term rentals.

Chiefs resist rushing Damian McKenzie back for Super Rugby Pacific final

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Chiefs are keeping Damian McKenzie on ice, with coach Jono Gibbes resisting the temptation to throw his star playmaker straight back into the fray against the Crusaders in Hamilton on Saturday night.
