    A late penalty has seen the Chiefs reclaim the lead over the Jaguares on the stroke of half time in their Super Rugby match

    A late penalty has seen the Chiefs reclaim the lead over the Jaguares on the stroke of half time in their Super Rugby match


    At the break the home side were leading 12-10.

    The second half is now underway.



    Paul Henare's more than happy to be a one team man for now.

    The former Breakers coach will be at the helm of the Tall Blacks for their upcoming FIBA World Cup qualifiers against Hong Kong and China, and is currently in Tauranga overlooking the domestic women's competition.

    Henare used to juggle both Breakers and Tall Blacks commitments, but says he's enjoying focusing solely on his role with Basketball New Zealand.



    The Tall Blacks' next qualifier is against Hong Kong in Rotorua late next month.



    Kiwi cyclist George Bennett is tipped to record New Zealand's best ever result at a grand tour this month.

    He'll lead the LottoNL-Jumbo team in the Giro d'Italia, starting tonight, looking to beat his 10th overall placing at the Vuelta in 2016.

    Fellow Kiwi Sam Bewley says the top 10 should be a minimum for Bennett.



    The Giro opens with a nine point seven kilometre time trial through the streets of Jerusalem overnight and finishes in Rome on the last Monday of May.



    The Black Ferns sevens will welcome back one of their bigger names next weekend.

    Ruby Tui's been named for next weekend's women's sevens tournament in Canada, having missed the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games with the mumps.

    She also didn't feature in last month's title win in Japan.

    In other changes to the squad, Risi Pouri-Lane is in while Huia Harding misses out.
