Hooked on adventure

Linda Jones Retirement Village

Neil’s love for fishing stretches back as far as he can remember. From catching sprats on the farm as a young boy to representing New Zealand on the world stage, it’s always been his passion. These days, as a Bruce McLaren Village resident, Neil finds nothing more enjoyable than casting a line, surrounded by scenic vistas and the melodies of native birds, before releasing his catch back into the water.

An experienced fishing guide, Neil shares his love of fly fishing with his new mate and village neighbour, David. While they met in the village, the pair are often mistaken for lifelong friends. Like Neil, David has always been an active person.

All Blacks star Wallace Sititi to make early return for Super Rugby Pacific ladder-leading Chiefs

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All Blacks star Wallace Sititi is set to make a surprise early return from injury for the Chiefs prior to the Super Rugby Pacific playoffs.
