Seven All Blacks squad members are free for the NPC quarter-finals

8 October 2025

Waikato have Luke Jacobson, Anton Lienert-Brown and Samipeni Finau, Bay of Plenty get Pasilio Tosi and Tevita Mafileo, Taranaki receive Josh Lord and Canterbury pick-up Brodie McAlister.

The newly-coined South Island United will play in football's inaugural Oceania Pro League - the Christchurch-based team's colours remain a blank canvas as yet.

The 49er world championships have started in steady zephyrs off the Sardinian coast.

Isaac McHardie and Will McKenzie are the best of the New Zealanders in sixth after three of 17 races.
