One of New Zealand’s most iconic motorsport events is hitting the ground this weekend. The Ashley Forest Rally Sprint has attracted many of both the country’s top drivers and international names over the years, with a fast and challenging 1.7 kilometre gravel hillclimb.

He told Piney it's a different format to a normal rally – even if you’re in the fastest car, you still need to get through each round with no problems. “That’s what adds to the excitement for the fans and for ourselves.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heartbreak for the Black Ferns in their Rugby World Cup semi-final with Canada in Bristol. The defending champions have been outplayed 34-19, after trailing 24-7 at the break.

Coach Allan Bunting told Piney they can’t fault the players, who kept trying and certainly didn’t give in. “Once we got down on the half and got our game going, we were pretty hard to stop, but in the start we didn’t get down there enough.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
