HAS JONES SAVED THE GOVT?

Michael from Trentham

Eddie Jones is right when he talks of NZ being affected as a country by the result of the Bledisloe Cup.

The All Blacks walloped Australia in Melbourne last Saturday to retain the biggest cup (size wise) in world sport.

And will this save the Labour-Greens Government from losing its ruling position at the political pools in October?

Rugby achievements have been a factor in the past and with 84,000 people viewing the contest live in Melbourne ( 40% of them AB supporters) and many millions watching on TV, the result was a boost for the the struggling current Government of NZ.

Jones, the Australian team coach. was not joking but it may be too late if the ABs also win the Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup in France on October 28 with the final coming two weeks too late before election day.

Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival

TAP Fusion

New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.

Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.


Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
