No pressure young fella. Zac Guildford had no sooner become an All Black for the first time in his young rugby career, than there was the coach comparing him to one of the greats to have pulled on the black jersey.

Guildford was named alongside Otago fullback/wing Ben Smith, Bay of Plenty five-eighth Mike Delany and Wellington utility Tamati Ellison as one of four uncapped players for the upcoming northern tour.

What on earth was Graham Henry thinking? Clearly he’s not worried about the 20-year-old rookie’s ability to handle a big rap, the Gaffer today suggesting he sees elements of one of the finest All Black wingers of all time in the youngster’s game. Guildford has scored a competition-leading 13 tries in the Air NZ Cup and was a unanimous choice among pundits to make the breakthrough at this level.

But Henry may have inadvertently tipped the spotlight on to the impressive Hawke’s Bay flyer when he made close to the ultimate compliment when discussing the Magpies star’s game. “He reminds me of John Kirwan in many ways.

“What’s impressed me about Zac, apart from his ability to score, is he’s got a great nose for try-scoring,” said Henry. He sniffs out tries very well, and impressed me against Canterbury [on Thursday night] with his all-round game. He gets on shoulders of players and gets that final pass to score.”

Ability under the high ball and a strong kicking game were the constant themes that were brought up time and again when assessing both the newcomers and those such as Joe Rokocoko and Hosea Gear who had missed out.

“He’s good under the high ball, kicks the ball well, defends well, and on balance has got those other skills as well. They’ve been despatched with a message to work on that aspect of their football.

Smith, Guildford and even Delany were all lauded for their strong kick-catching and kick-returning games, while it was made more than clear that Rokocoko and Gear were not up to the mark in that area.

“He’s gone from strength to strength,” said Smith.

Assistant coach Wayne Smith, who has taken over the defensive responsibilities as part of a revamp of the coaching setup in the All Blacks, noted Henry’s Kirwan comparison but felt confident Guildford would deliver on the expectation. . “We’ve seen a lot of him as an age-grade player, he’s come through the Super 14 as a young player and he had a great [world] under-20 tournament. We see that in him.

“He’s a finisher obviously, and Graham put a big rap on him in terms of being similar to John Kirwan with his anticipation. He’s pretty much the complete player. He’s got very good fullback skills, is good in the air, is a good chaser of the ball, and has got good kicking skills.”

The Government has pulled out of funding a counter-offer by TVNZ and TV3 to scupper Maori Television’s bid for the free-to-air broadcasting rights for the Rugby World Cup.

In the latest twist to the saga, Prime Minister John Key confirmed this afternoon that the Government would no longer be backing a separate bid by the two rival broadcasters for the rights to 16 live free-to-air games.

“Our preferred option would be to have one bid on the table, led by MTS, with TV1 and TV3 playing a role,” Key said.”

The compromise, which is being thrashed out at a meeting in Auckland this afternoon between MTS, TVNZ, and TV3, appears to involve MTS as the lead bidder, with the other channels picking up some delayed TV rights to some of the games.

“I think there is every chance of that being achieved. .

The result is a win for the Maori Party and represents an embarrassing back-down by the Government just a day after revelations it was backing a counter-bid.

“It’s certainly not in New Zealand’s interests to have a bidding war, it might be in the IRB’s (International Rugby Board’s) interest.”

Dr Sharples said the meeting was being held to find a way to put together a joint bid led by MTS but guaranteeing TVNZ and TV3 the same entitlements they sought in their separate bid.

“We are very hopeful a successful outcome can be achieved and progress can be made.”

Dr Sharples said today’s development was a win for his party and Mr Key admitted that his ministers’ handling was not the best.

“Our expectation is that there will be only one bid on the table and it will be a Maori (Television) led-bid and it will be subbed (sub-contracted) out to other groups as well.

“I think the Maori Party has played a really important leadership role here.

There was a lack of coherence and ministers should have got together to thrash out a single approach, he said. Pita’s been very keen to see a good outcome both for the Rugby World Cup tournament, for all New Zealanders and actually for the Maori culture as we use this Rugby World Cup and Maoridom to deliver a world class event.

A Piper Cherokee aircraft has crashed into a swamp on Great Barrier Island injuring two people, the airline has confirmed.

Great Barrier Airlines deputy operation manager Mike Maguire told that at 1.10pm today the plane “failed to sustain a climb after take-off due to unknown causes and descended into a swamp…”

It was half a mile from the end of Runway 28 on the Hauraki Gulf island..

The aircraft had two pilots and four passengers aboard.

One rescuer, who did not want to be identified, said that the aircraft may have been caught by a strong gust of wind moments after it became airborne.

Two people have been flown off the island on the Westpac rescue helicopter for pre-cautionary measures with non life threatening complaints, Mr Maguire said.

”It caught one wing.

The gust flipped it sideways, he said…it screwed around and went down,” he said.it screwed around and went down,” he said…”

Most of the occupants walked out of the swamp although they were all in shock.the plane just suddenly flipped on its side with a wind gust.

On July 5 a different aircraft, a three-engine Britten-Norman Trilander with 11 passengers and a pilot lost its right engine propeller came apart.

After getting the pilot and passengers off the aircraft, the rescuers went back for their luggage and retrieved it all but for a couple of small bags they could not reach.

The side of the aircraft was partially opened up but the plane made a safe return to landing.

The whole engine blade struck the fuselage.

Mr McGuire said the airline staff’s thoughts were with the people involved. .

Prime Minister John Key has had a surprise meeting with United States President Barack Obama in New York.

Mr Key’s office confirmed earlier today that the pair met at a lunch.

A spokesman for Mr Key said the conversaton between the two was for just two or three minutes and a quick chat and Mr Obama had asked Mr Key if he was enjoying the occasion.

Mr Obama had approached Mr Key unexpectedly and they had talked, a spokesman said. .

Mr Obama also told Mr Key it had been good to talk on the phone earlier this year.

Mr Obama set the tone for the day in a speech promising to an end to US unilateralism.

The meeting with Mr Obama happened at a luncheon hosted by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon after the opening of the General Assembly.

Mr Key is spending the day in a high octane round of diplomatic meetings; an important meeting was with Nato Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, where Mr Key made it clear that there would be no increase in New Zealand troop numbers in Afghanistan.

But in reaching out to other nations, Mr Obama also warned that the US could not be expected to solve the world’s woes alone.

Mr Key welcomed Mr Obama’s speech and said his even handed approach to Israel and the Palestinian authority was in line with New Zealand’s position of treating both as equals.

Mr Key is also scheduled to meet the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, on the same day Mr Obama used his speech to the General Assembly to promise to work toward a comprehensive peace deal between Israel and its Arab neighbours.

“I was (impressed), I thought he spoke really well and I thought he had a bit more substance today .

“I thought on balance he was a bit more direct today,” Mr Key told reporters…

. I think the speech was flawless

A Rotorua gathering touted as a peaceful
boy racer “park-up” to protest pending legislation ended with 31 arrests
and two damaged police cars.

Senior Sergeant Denton Grimes said about 230 cars and 900 people initially gathered in a central city park last night before heading south of the city, apparently to drag race and do skids.

Arrests could not be made as the offenders could not be identified.

The central city gathering was peaceful but things turned ugly when police arrived at the second venue, with bottles being thrown at police cars and officers being verbally abused.

“Typically, boy racers say they are a peaceful group, (who) abide by the law and just want to have a forum to be passionate about their cars,” Mr Grimes said. However, when the group headed back to the central business district, police checked every car and driver and arrests were made. It was totally unacceptable and disgraceful that the police were subjected to this behaviour.

“This is just not the case, as highlighted in their behaviour last night. As well, their behaviour took police away from other jobs and areas where they were needed.”

Boy racers put themselves, their passengers and, more importantly, members of the public at risk.

“We will continue to target the boy racer community and adopt a firm, professional and no discretion approach to influence their attitude and behaviour.

Mr Grimes said police had a simple message for boy racers: “This type of behaviour and lack of respect to laws and regulations will not be tolerated by Rotorua police.

Police Minister Judith Collins’ Vehicle Confiscation and Seizure Bill gives courts the power to send cars owned by repeat offenders to the crusher.”

Those arrested faced charges including breach of liquor ban, drink driving, unpaid fines, driving while disqualified, possession of meth and sustained loss of traction.

A strong earthquake shook the popular
Indonesian resort island of Bali early Saturday, injuring at least
seven people and sending panicked tourists and residents fleeing out
of homes and hotels.

No tsunami warning was issued and there were no immediate reports of major damage.

The magnitude 5. Indonesia’s Meteorological and Geophysics Agency put the quake at a more powerful 6.8 quake hit just after 6am local time (11am NZT) 75km south of Denpasar, the island’s capital, the United States Geological Survey said.

Seven people were treated for head injuries and broken bones at Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar, said Dr Ken Wirasandi, adding that women and children had run from their homes screaming when the ground began to rattle.4 magnitude.

“I was frightened because it was strong,” said Ernst Raynaldo, a tourist from the Netherlands who was staying at the Kuta beach strip.

The Bali quake comes just two weeks after a larger tremor on the main Indonesian island of Java killed of left missing nearly 100 people and ruined thousands of homes. . A huge quake off western Indonesia caused a powerful tsunami in December 2004 that killed about 230,000 people in a dozen countries, half of them in Aceh province.

Indonesia, a vast archipelago, straddles continental plates and is prone to seismic activity along what is known as the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Former All Black Va’aiga Tuigamala is “elated” by
today’s successful appeal over the sentences for the Kelston Boy’s
High School rugby brawlers.

Five students from the Auckland school who were banned from playing rugby for their part in a brawl with rival Auckland Grammar School players have had their sentences drastically reduced.

Following an appeal before the Auckland Rugby Union appeal panel today, the Kelston students have had the sentences reduced to between seven and 14 weeks.

They were initially suspended for between 10 and 16 months following the brawl during a game on August 15, while players from Auckland Grammar were suspended for between two and seven weeks.

But he hoped the students involved had learned from the experience.

Mr Tuigamala, a Kelston old boy who had been critical about the original sentence, said today’s outcome showed “common sense prevailing”.

“I’m very proud of them.

“The young men have done well in accepting their responsibility, taking it on the chin, standing up and being men,” he said.”

The Kelston Boys’ board of trustees and principal had been “absolutely fantastic ” in making the students take responsibility for th eir actions, with the students doing anger management courses and community service. But at the same time they also know the lesson they learned and what they put their families through. .

“Today’s hearing is wonderful.

The students were “very pleased”, he said.

Kelston lawyer John Haigh QC, said the original sentences were “unfair and unjust” but he was content with today’s decision.
