Red Card - Red Face
How dare that Australian ref red card our Hurricanes Jordie Barrett.
The all-legs, towering and swift as a giraffe being chased by a lion Barrett who can kick goals from 97 metres, is an angel disguised as an All Black on occasions. And an occasion was last Sunday.
Barrett who over extended a leg in order to retain balance from flying in the air to take a catch, got the sprig part of a boot stuck in someones face. The someone wasn't hurt but the ref along with his Aussie ref panel decided he had to go as it all was deliberate, dangerous and damaging.
So he had to appear before a tribunal who had the power to banish Barrett from any further 2021 internationals. But the body of men agreed with Barrett's defence team that Barrett had been wrongly condemned and confined to the sideline and was entirely innocent (and angelic).
And Jordie is now allowed to rejoin his brothers in arm, Beauden and Scott and the terrific threesome can wreak havoc against all comers again starting this coming weekend. Hope Jordie gets in the starting 15 as he is a better more talented all round full back than that Damian fellow who can only smile when he kicks goals or when he misses kicking goals.

Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?

We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
