Even our sports are being impacted by the rising costs and turbulent economy.  South Canterbury Rugby Union have had to pull out of the Ranfurly Shield as they can't afford to play.  CEO Tim Hyde-Smith told Mike Hosking that it would cost them about $50,000 to get up to Hawke's Bay to challenge the Magpies for the shield, of which they only managed to raise 30%.  He said that they'd been very privileged to challenge the last two years, but sponsorship and grant money wasn't forthcoming this year.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That audio from Te Papa is what scientists think a Moa might have sounded like back when they were roaming the country. Back in 2019 Ranfurly man Michael Johnston was out walking the dogs when he spotted moa footprints fossilised in the bed of the Kyeburn River. Since then, they've been studied by scientists to learn about the moa that made the footprints - and what's four years of waiting when it turns out, some of these footprints are at least 3.6 million years old. Tūhura Otago Museum natural science curator Kane Fleury spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Four years ago Ranfurly local Michael Johnston was walking his dog by the Kyeburn river, when he spied something in the water. Closer investigation revealed a set of fossilied Moa footprints. The first prints discovered on the South Island. Questions abounded - what kind of Moa was it? what did it look like? And just how long ago, did it leave its now famous footprints? The answers can finally be found in a new reasearch paper published this afternoon in the "Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand". Author of that paper and curatio of natural science at Tuhura Otago Museum Kane Fleury joins Mark.

For over 100 years the Ranfurly cemetery in Central has had impeccable record keeping. Details for each of the 700 plots and nearly 1600 people interned there, have been confirmed during a recent digitisation process - except one for which no records can be found.

All Rugby players from the team that trashed the Ranfurly shield are available for selection for this weekend's games despite an ongoing investigation into behaviour at a post match party. Pictures of the Log O' Wood busted in half surfaced on social media, including some that show white powder on the shield. One player is also facing drink driving charges after crashing a car into a fence the morning after the team's winning game. Today, Hawkes Bay Magpies vice captain Brad Weber, who wasn't at the post match party, fronted a press conference, with the head coach. Captain Tom Parsons, wasn't made available but will lead the team out at Sunday's game against Bay of Plenty. Hawke's Bay Rugby chief executive Jay Campbell confirmed the player who dropped the shield had been drinking, but couldn't say how much.

Short and sharp pod this week. Ezra is frothing with his Panthers picking up a 3 peat while the crew review NPC, including the Ranfurly loss and controversy as well as glancing over the final games of the RWC.   Huge Euge is away, but we'll give him a birthday pass this week.   Don't forget your 2 for $5, 4 for $10 aaaand 8 for $20 Jibbitz...   Brought to you this week by Rymans Bob Scott Retirement Village

This is the very first podcast that former All Black coach John Hart has ever agreed to do (thanks to our mutual mate Kerre Woodham for convincing him to do it)..John was the coach of the legendary Auckland NPC side who won titles in 82, 84 and 85. That 1985 side also won the Ranfurly shield and kept it for 61 games which remains a record in shield history.We talk at length about the disgraceful fallout after the 1999 RWC semifinal loss against France, where he was spat on at a horse race in Christchurch, something which spiraled John into a deep and long-lasting depression.John is a man who has devoted a lot of his life to NZ sport- in rugby he coached 142 games for a total of three teams and retired from the sport with a win record of 84.5%He keeps his head down these days by choice so I can't thank him enough for coming over to chat- especially about some of the less sexy stuff.I really enjoyed spending time with John and I hope you do too.Thanks very much to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode.Without there support, it would not be possible to keep bringing you these conversations- it's a fair amount of work each week and their investment is crucial.

Newstalk ZB host Jason Pine joins Nick Mills to chat about the Lion's hopeful defence of the Ranfurly Shield against Waikato, the Bledisloe Cup and the All Whites going up against Australia. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wellington 19Hawke's Bay 12 Wellington will hold the Ranfurly Shield for the first time since 2009, ending Hawke's Bay's impressive defence with some inspired defence of their own. The Lions have been luckless in recent decades when playing for the Log O' Wood, experiencing only one six-game tenure in the last 40 years. But that history counted for little tonight at McLean Park as they prevented the second-highest scorers in the competition from crossing the tryline. That rearguard looked like it could crack after the hooter had sounded, with a 14-man Wellington defending a couple of lineout drives from the masters of that move. But repel them they did, ending the Magpies' reign at 14 and sparking wild celebrations among the visitors. "It means a lot," victorious captain Du'Plessis Kirifi told Sky Sport. "It's an awesome thing in New Zealand rugby - playing for a piece of silverware like this is a bloody brilliant thing. "In the week, we just talked about building pressure. That's something we haven't done right in the last few weeks - grind out a game and finish it off. So I'm really proud of the boys." Despite the defeat, pride was the overriding emotion for Hawke's Bay skipper Tom Parsons, after his side had equalled the second-longest defence of this century. "It's something that we've really relished and got up for - and I know Wellington will now as well," Parsons said. "It's a special thing, the Ranfurly Shield. We're just proud that we've been able to defend it for this long." Wellington's attempts to do likewise will be immediately tested. Next Saturday, they make their first defence against unbeaten conference leaders Waikato. The Lions - who moved above Hawke's Bay and into second behind Waikato with their win - can lock away the Shield for the year if they win that match. And as long as they defend they way they did tonight, it shapes as an enjoyable summer for the province. Wellington's last two challenges, in 2014 and 2020, resulted in comprehensive defeats at McLean Park. But this one appeared much different from the opening stages, as their physicality prevented Hawke's Bay from converting an initial edge into a significant advantage. As a result, the first half featured a lack of continuity and a total absence of expansive attack, with Lincoln McClutchie and Aidan Morgan trading penalties. The last of those left it 9-9 at the break and followed what became a crucial moment, as Joe Apikotoa was sent to the sin bin for a no-arms tackle on Asafo Aumua. TJ Perenara took particular exception to the hit and would have taken extra satisfaction from scoring the game's only try while the hosts were short in numbers, kickstarting the second half after strong carries from Julian Savea and Peter Lakai. Morgan's fourth penalty extended the Lions' lead to 10 with half an hour to play and left them dreaming of a famous victory, with Hawke's Bay unable to respond until McClutchie slotted his fourth 10 minutes from time. After Morgan shanked a straightforward kick that would have sealed the game, the Magpies had one last chance deep in Wellington territory. But with Perenara having seen yellow for infringing at the breakdown, Wellington held firm against a couple of dangerous drives to walk away with the old trophy. Wellington 19 (TJ Perenara try; Aidan Morgan 4 pens, con) Hawke's Bay 12 (Lincoln McClutchie 4 pens) Halftime: 9-9 LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we are speaking to Becks Smith, who is based in Ranfurly with her husband and children. Becks is an extremely busy woman, working as a vet, running a social enterprise, farming on a 700ha Sheep, Beef and Deer property, and raising children.Becks is the founder of the Whole Story NZ, a Social Enterprise using the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals as a framework for inspiring, facilitiating and articulating conscious, holistic sustainability on farms. We talk to Becks about the Whole Story, her passions, and her experience being a Zanda McDonald Award Finalist (and her love of a bit of drum and bass). If you enjoyed this episode, feel free to visit our Instagram, Facebook, and website, or even become a member! www.ruralwomennz.nz 

Central Otago fencing contractor Scott Watson is a busy man. He says more and more farmers are calling on him to do their fencing because they no longer have time to do the work themselves. The Ranfurly man also leases 170 hectares near Gimmerburn where he runs sheep and cattle.

Rural communities in the south worry they may be left behind during the Covid-19 vaccine roll out. There are currently no vaccine clinics operating on Stewart Island, nor in remote centres such as Te Anau, Ranfurly and Roxburgh. The Southern DHB says more clinics will be opened by the end of July in those areas so no one is more than an hour's travel from the nearest clinic. People in group three - those over 65 or at greater risk from Covid-19 - have been travelling up to 170 kilometres to get their shots. Less than 20 percent of group three in the district have received a first dose and less than 10 percent are fully inoculated. Central Otago Mayor Tim Cadogan told reporter Timothy Brown, residents of his district are remaining patient at the moment, though that could change.

I give some insight into my personal memories of the famous Log O' Wood. The great Waikato victory over Auckland in 1993 which ended the longest ever reign of 61 games spanning eight years, winning it for the first time, unsuccessful challenges, captaining the side to victory, losing it, the pressures of being the holders, the joy it brings a region and its fans, sharing it with family and everything in between.

We heard about the natural beauty of the South Island of New Zealand from travelers around the world. They told us many times about the mountains, hills, lakes, and countless sheep. We began our trip in Christchurch, where we started our adventures around the South Island. We stayed in Lake Tekapo, Lake Wanaka, Queenstown, Ranfurly, and Dunedin. With our rental car fueled up, we took our time discovering the ins and outs of this wonderful country. We stopped many times to take photos along the way. Listen to this episode of Passport Joy Travel Talk to understand why ending our journey in New Zealand was the perfect way to wrap up our trip of a lifetime. Main Topics Covered: South Island New Zealand Travel Tips Links Mentioned in the Episode: Check out all of the PARTNERS that have made our lives easy while traveling the world.  Nikki’s first published book - Passport Joy - can be found on the Kindle store on Amazon.  Our stay in Christchurch was fantastic with our host Ali. Very kind and inviting.  Church of Good Shepherd is a beautiful spot for photos of the surrounding mountains and lake.  The backpackers spot in Lake Tekapo was perfect.  This tree in the lake in Wanaka is a unique photo opportunity.  The Queenstown Hill is a great hiking trail and has the most beautiful views of the town.  The Aspen Lodge Backpackers was an ideal accommodation in Queenstown for the price.  Between Queenstown and Dunedin we stopped off at Hawkdun Lodge in Ranfurly.  Be sure to check out the World Barber Shop Adventures episode from the chair in Queenstown.  Sign up for our Newsletter to get the latest tips in Travel and hear about our weekly visits around the world
