The New Zealand government is pulling back on protecting Māori rights, sparking protests from indigenous lawmakers who oppose the decision with their traditional “haka” chant.
This is powerful.
👶 Congratulations to @veehalafihi and his wife Laura, on the arrival of their newborn son, Hunter.
Everyone at the Eagles sends you all of our love, and we hope Hudson enjoys becoming a big brother!

Really looking forward to reading this @collinstony
I know this story is a story worth telling and it’s a fantastic opportunity to remind the world of Roy’s illustrious and impactful influence which he brought to our great game.
Very pleased to announce that my biography of the great Roy Francis will be published by @BloomsburySport next year. It uncovers the extraordinary story of the pioneer of modern rugby coaching and his struggles as a black Welshman in an overwhelmingly white world. More to follow!
No other club ‘dares to dream’ bigger than this one and the way @leedsrhinos has demonstrated their player and supporter community is truly a reminder of its drive and commitment to the things that really matter #onerobburrow
'Roy Francis: Sport's Forgotten Black Leader' describes how Roy transformed rugby coaching, but also tells the story of one of the pre-Windrush generation of black working-class British people, who worked on the docks, down the mines and in the factories.
This is such a powerful example of the way LBU KTPs can empower creative change for sustainable benefit and I’m very proud to be a part of this dynamic and innovative team
