Chiefs captain Luke Jacobson has called on consistency from Super Rugby Pacific match officials, admitting he was miffed there was no punishment for the broken nose he suffered against the Crusaders last month.

Three organisations dedicated to improving the lives of the region’s residents - Creative Waikato, Sport Waikato and Community Waikato - are formally backing Hamilton’s new theatre.

Switching to variable vehicle speed limits outside a dozen Hamilton schools is potentially “gambling with children’s lives”, says the city’s deputy mayor Angela O’Leary.

The schools currently have permanent 30kph limits but the Government has ordered a change as part of its push-back on speed limits lowered over the past few years.
