Labour’s campaign has a completely different tone from the grand pronouncements and ambitious policies of six years ago.

For right now, in official World Rugby rankings, Australia sits at #9 and the Georgians only two places back in #11.

His journey in farming has recently seen a significant transformation, through the consolidation of his farming business. However, a pivotal decision was made to close the Southland operation, redirecting all focus and energy towards the Canterbury properties. The farming operation in Canterbury has been enhanced by the venison deer stud stock from Southland. In addition to their venison stud focus, the team run 600 stags through for breeding purposes, just for selection pressure on their breeding program.
