What do you reckon our chances are against the French?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

ANALYSIS: In a first test of the year that could conceivably not have featured any debutants, the All Blacks could well now run two in the loose forwards alone, as Wallace Sititi’s injury puts Scott Robertson’s best-laid plans up in smoke for the series against France.

Sititi, last year’s World Breakthrough Player of the Year as well as All Blacks Player of the Year, was last week ruled out of the three-test series due to a high-ankle injury that requires surgery.

The Baker Tīrau has created what might be New Zealand's most luxurious, and expensive, take on a Kiwi classic steak and cheese pie and is auctioning it off for a good cause.

Made with wagyu beef, French red wine, the most expensive cheese he could get his hands on, and topped with 23-carat gold flakes, award-winning baker Shane Kearns is auctioning off his unique steak and cheese pie to raise funds for local volunteer fire-fighters.
