Samuel Lawrence Whitelock (SAM). I believe Sam who is already the captain of the Crusaders will be brilliant as AB captain, he leads by example, he is respected and admired by his fellow players, he is calm but encouraging plus he speaks well during after match interviews which is very important for an AB captain.

DATING PHOTOS

We all want some spectacular photos that show off our best features. Don't settle for less with a blurry selfie or dark unflattering photo you took in the bathroom or your best mate took while you were at a bar.

Why put up with bad dating profile photos. Get ahead of the pack and show your inner style and personality with some amazing dating photos. Look your best and show off your talents and interests to find your potential mate.

How many times have you looked at terrible dating photos and swiped past the photo because it was too dark, or small or out of focus. Yes we can all grab out our cell phone and snap a couple of selfies, but really, don't you want to look your best?

Have you received a speeding ticket on Port Hills Rd? You might be owed a refund.

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Seven years worth of speeding fines issued on a Christchurch road could be deemed invalid after police ticketed drivers based on the wrong speed limit.

Seven years worth of speeding fines issued on a Christchurch road could be deemed invalid after police ticketed drivers based on the wrong speed limit.

The 50kmh speed limit on Port Hills Rd, from Garlands Rd to the Tunnel Rd intersection, was legally changed to 60kmh by the NZ Transport Agency in March 2011, but the signs were never changed so police have been ticketing people based on a 50kmh limit.

How will you be celebrating National Volunteer Week next month?

National Volunteer Week (17-23 of June 2018)
celebrates the 1.2 million Kiwis who are volunteering their time and skills to our communities every year.

The theme this year is Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.

We think this captures the essence of what volunteering is about. This is a time to acknowledge how volunteering efforts contribute to and enrich all communities within Aotearoa.

Could you move from a 3-bed to a motorhome?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Would you give up your home for a life on the road? When Lynette and John Valk sold their three-bedroom home in Blenheim to live in a nine-metre motorhome and explore New Zealand, it was easier than they thought, and they don't regret a thing.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.

Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?
