I had a go at news photography today while I was reporting on an incident in New Plymouth. It’s stuff we see overseas and not in our own backyard.

Commentary of the NZ A series vs India A from Christchurch (but remotely from New Plymouth). Thanks to Engage Video and NZ Cricket for the opportunity.
Jeepers! A good one to wake up to.

Has anyone actually cottoned on to the fact the NPC isn’t being broadcast on radio this season?
For generations, provincial rugby has been part of the weekend soundtrack. Now it’s quietly disappeared from the airwaves, and you have to wonder whether it will ever come back.

What makes this Black Caps series win in England so special?
No Kane Williamson. No Matt Henry. No Kyle Jamieson. Glenn Phillips injured. Blair Tickner concussed. Will O'Rourke broke down.
Yet they still found a way to win one of NZ's greatest overseas Test series victories.

I really admire the TRFU for their grit and determination while they battled with no stadium and then Covid. To record a fourth straight surplus is remarkable!
A strong year on and off the field for Taranaki Rugby 💛🖤
◼︎ +4% player growth
◼︎ 4 straight years of surplus
◼︎ Stadium Taranaki back
◼︎ Biggest NPC crowd in 8+ years

End of an era you as NZ cricket rights finished with TVNZ today.
Credit to Spark Sport and TVNZ for not only covering home internationals but every Super Smash match over the past six years.
Back to Sky next summer — hope the momentum continues. 🏏

11 years as a cricket ground announcer and seven working with the great @adamcoopnz at the @BasinReserve. Always a pleasure.
Some of the worst conditions I have seen at the @BasinReserve today with gale northerlies that forced camera crews down from the southern tower. Full credit to the players who managed to play in the conditions.

This is a great advertisement for provincial rugby - a sell out, a vocal crowd, good weather and a cracker of a contest! @BunningsNPC
