Poll: Do you think the bar's age limit move will make a difference?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

One of Hamilton’s most popular bars, House on Hood, has implemented a new age restriction for Saturday nights, barring anyone under the age of 20 from entry.

The decision comes after months of costly damages caused by younger patrons, with bar owner John Lawrenson saying they had finally reached their breaking point.

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.

The dynamic loose forward, who stormed onto the scene in 2024, so much so that he went on to be crowned World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year, as well as All Blacks Player of the Year, picked up a knee injury on the national side’s end-of-year northern tour that had initially seemed destined to keep him out of the entire Super season.
