New All Black Folau Fakatava admits he cried when he heard he'd earned a test call-up against Ireland

13 June 2022

The Highlanders halfback was preferred to veterans TJ Perenara and Brad Weber... Aaron Smith and Finlay Christie are the other two number nines named.

The other new caps are Blues midfielder Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Blues first five Stephen Perofeta , Crusaders wing Leicester Fainga'anuku , Chiefs prop Aidan Ross and Chiefs loosie Pita Gus Sowakula .

England now trail New Zealand by just 80 runs, heading into day four of the second cricket test in Nottingham.

The hosts will resume on 473 for five.

Former Silver Fern Anna Harrison is calling time on her netball career - again - the 39-year-old Northern Stars defender played her last game in yesterday's Grand Final loss to the Central Pulse.
