D'Arcy Waldegrave understands that the Warriors are going to buy a bar in Kingsland and turn it into a Warriors-themed bar.

Now the Warriors don't tend to run bars very much because they are, after all, a rugby league team - so could this work?

Nick Mills was long-time owner of the Wellington Saints and has owned a lot of bars too, so D'Arcy got his opinion on the whole thing on Sportstalk.

Let's be positive and say the Black Caps have a chance to show how much they've improved when they take on the Aussies at Hagley Oval tomorrow.

The Hurricanes women's side have gone after the Government with their new haka.

Hurricanes Poua debuted their new haka over the weekend and with a line about "puppets of this redneck government".

The haka was written by a former rugby player but it was the brainchild of Hurricanes Poua prop and Haka Leader Leilani Perese.
