commentator - a Kiwi woman.
NZ were penalised for a breakdown error in playing the USA and the Englishman said NZ had been winning matches in the world series by forcing referees to favour their illegal tactics.
The NZ woman was upset at these remarks and burbled out some defence of the NZ team.
NZ went on to thrash the USA.
NZ has dominated the international series in 2023 winning 5 tournaments with the other 5 each won by a different team apart from Argentina.
Prior to London the AB 7s has already been crowned series champs.
Great Britain were well out of contention and when NZ played them in the London event last night were a well beaten side.
It will be renarkable if this commentator will be allowed to further commentate on fixtures involving NZ .

What you need to know:
- The product is called Large $20 Acacia Serving Tray and was sold nationally.
- The product may be infested with Lyctus africanus (also known as the African powderpost beetle), a species not present in New Zealand.
- Kmart are no longer selling these products and will wait for instruction from MPI before destroying these.
Anyone who finds a suspected exotic pest is encouraged to call MPI’s hotline on 0800 80 99 66.

The campus Buddle Building together with the purpose built rail control building will not be ready until at least July.
This is the third or fourth announced opening date. The last one was for April this year.
The developers have still only two organisations committed tenants. The other is Government Department, MBIE.
They are hopeful that once these tenants have settled in others will follow. If this doesn't work out, it is likely the other stages for commercial and retail activity will not occur or be temporary shelved and itis possible that residential housing will be installed instead adding to the Wallaceville Estate 700-plus housing development.
As a coffee buff, I am waiting for the cafe at Blue Mountains Campus with its flow out into a plaza to be opened. It will be available for the public.
I am trying also to get a quality hairdressing salon installed in the campus. Should go well as.the Campus fully utilised could house over 1000 workers and the salon will still be a public facility.
Hi everyone, just wanted to say I’ve used Grove Electrical services ( Jason Grove ) just incase anyone is looking for a professional electrician, please give him a call.. +64 21 104 9341

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.
They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.
