AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

All Blacks vs Springboks (Cape Town): New Zealand’s build-up for the second Test has been hit by a flu-like illness bug, with coach Neil Barnes saying multiple people were affected, though no selected players are currently ruled out. Rugby team news: South Africa made late changes for Saturday, restoring Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu to flyhalf and bringing back Cheslin Kolbe after injury. Tall Blacks (FIBA qualifiers): New Zealand edged Iran 93-91 in overtime in Manila, with Shea Ili top-scoring (24) as the Tall Blacks improved to a 5-2 record. Local politics: An editorial and letters focus on local government reform, including rates-capping and calls for elected executives rather than mayors shadowed by CEOs. Business & tech: A survey says AI is widely used by NZ firms (91%), but only a small share are using it to transform core operations (4%). Finance: NZX 50 slipped again as Air New Zealand reported another large loss, dragging on the market. Disaster watch: Nepal-Tibet flash floods continue to leave hundreds dead and thousands missing, including many foreigners.
