WGTON LIONS TAKE KITTY
Wellington Lions rugby team won the Bunnings NPC at Sky Stadium yesterday in fine style.
They deservedly beat Tauranga-based BOP in an extra time thriller
With almost half its starting players away with All Black duties, the Wellington team in the final will probably still have all its starting players and some bench players too n the 2025 Hurricanes Super Rugby squad apart from Julian Savea and Stephen Garden-Bachop who will be turing out for the Pacifica side.
Winger, Julian Savea who scored two block busting tries in the final first played for Wellington 14 years ago as a 20 year old
He certainly is playimg better just lately than he has for a few years.
And talkong of wingers. I said on Neighbourly a couple of months ago that the Hurricanes were in need for an extra speedy, side stepping wing for 2025 and a week or so ago its management announced the signing of a young Auckland player who finished the NPC championship proper as the top try scorer.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
