DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF MIDDAY, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. LABOUR DUMPS THE PROPOSAL ITS CONTROVERSIAL 'MAN BAN' MP POLICY. MORE THAN 50 PEOPLE ARE SHOT DEAD IN CAIRO IN WHAT'S BEING CALLED AN ARMY 'MASSACRE'. AND WAS ROBBIE DEANS SACKED AS WALLABIES COACH BECAUSE HE'S A NZER? THE LABOUR PARTY IS TO SCRAP ITS SO-CALLED MAN-BAN PROPOSAL. THE U-TURN FOLLOWS A POLITICAL BACKLASH OVER THE POLICY WHICH WOULD HAVE BARRED MALE MEMBERS FROM STANDING IN SOME ELECTORATES SO LABOUR COULD HAVE MORE FEMALE MPS. ONE NEWS POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM PARLIAMENT. CORIN, A BIG BACK DOWN FROM DAVID SHEARER TODAY. THIS WAS A NIGHTMARE FOR LABOUR ` THE POLICY IDEA TO BE VOTED ON IN NOVEMBER LEAKED, AND THE PARTY LOST CONTROL OF IT ` SPUN INTO MAN BAN. TOUCHED A NERVE AT GRASSROOTS LEVEL AND WAS VERY DAMAGING TO THE PARTY'S SUPPORT. DAVID SHEARER REALLY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DEMAND THE PARTY BOSSES GET RID OF IT. I'VE HAD A TALK WITH THE LABOUR PARTY LEADERSHIP. I'VE ASKED THEM TO WITHDRAW THE WOMEN-ONLY SELECTION PANEL. THAT HAS BEEN DONE. AND WE WILL BE WORKING TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT WE GET WOMEN WELL REPRESENTED IN PARLIAMENT ` UP TO 50% ` BUT THAT WE WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT HAPPENS IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T DISTRACT US FROM THE ISSUES THAT WE WANT TO GET ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW. NO-WIN SITUATION. SHEARER NOW BEING ACCUSED OF BEING ANTI-DEMOCRATIC BUT NO CHOICE IN THE WAY IT WENT OUT OF CONTROL CRITICISM THAT SHEARER DIDN'T SEE IT AS PROBLEMATIC BAD TIMING FOR SHEARER WHEN QUESTIONS OVER HIS LEADERSHIP TOUGH DAY FOR SHEARER UNCOMFORTABLE TPERIOD ATTENTION TURNS TO NEXT ROUND OF POLLS ON POSSIBLE IMPACT THANKS. CORIN DANN, LIVE FROM PARLIAMENT. THE OPOTIKI COUPLE INJURED IN A HOME INVASION ARE DUE TO BE DISCHARGED FROM WHAKATANE HOSPITAL. ANNE AND ALAN LOONEY WERE ATTACKED AT THEIR RURAL HOME BEFORE THE OFFENDER FLED. CALEB DEAN HENRY WAS SHOT DEAD BY POLICE AFTER A 350KM CHASE ENDED IN A SHOOTOUT IN AUCKLAND. POLICE MINISTER ANNE TOLLEY IS THE MP FOR EAST COAST AND KNOWS THE COUPLE. THEY'RE A VERY WELL-KNOWN FAMILY IN OPOTIKI AND A LOVELY COUPLE, REALLY GREAT MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. ANNE LOONEY RECEIVED SURGERY FOR KNIFE WOUNDS TO HER HANDS. HER HUSBAND ALAN WILL RETURN TO HOSPITAL FOR SURGERY TOMORROW. AND THE INDEPENDENT POLICE CONDUCT AUTHORITY IS NOW DISCUSSING WITH POLICE A POSSIBLE REVIEW OF POLICIES CONNECTED WITH THE PURSUIT OF FLEEING DRIVERS. IT COMES AS A RESULT OF A REPORT INTO THE DEATH OF A YOUNG SOUTH AUCKLAND WOMAN IN 2010, FOLLOWING A POLICE CHASE. THE REPORT FOUND THAT WHILE THE ACTIONS OF THE FLEEING DRIVER ULTIMATELY LED TO THE 20-YEAR-OLD'S DEATH, OFFICERS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH POLICE POLICY IN SOME AREAS. THAT INCLUDED FAILING TO ABANDON THE PURSUIT EARLIER, AND FAILING TO COMPLY WITH SOME RULES GOVERNING THE USE OF ROAD SPIKES. THREE OTHER PEOPLE WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THE CRASH. NZ'S GIVEN EVIDENCE AT THE WORLD COURT AT THE HAGUE TODAY IN SUPPORT OF AUSTRALIA'S CASE TO STOP JAPAN'S ANNUAL WHALE HUNT IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN. JAPAN CLAIMS IT'S KILLING WHALES FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, BUT AUSTRALIA CLAIMS IT'S COMMERCIAL. A WARNING ` THERE ARE SOME GRAPHIC IMAGES IN THIS ITEM WHICH MAY BE DISTURBING. DANIELLE STANBURY REPORTS. PROTESTORS HAVE BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST JAPANESE WHALING FOR YEARS. NOW THE BATTLE HAS MOVED INTO THE COURTROOM, AND NZ'S GETTING INVOLVED. IN THIS CASE, NZ THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO GET BEFORE THE COURT. THE JAPANESE HAVE LABELLED THE HEARING A MORAL CRUSADE AND MAINTAIN THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL. JAPAN IS RESPECTING INTERNATIONAL LAW, AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A STRONG CASE IN FRONT OF THE COURTS. CURRENT WHALING REGULATIONS MEAN A NATION CAN BE GRANTED A PERMIT TO KILL WHALES, BUT IT HAS TO BE FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. NOW JAPAN'S BEING ACCUSED OF USING THE REGULATIONS TO HIDE COMMERCIAL WHALING. THEY MUST BE USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND NOT A MIXTURE OF COMMERCIAL AND SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES. JAPAN'S HIT BACK SAYING ITS SLAUGHTER OF THOUSANDS OF WHALES IS PART OF A RESEARCH PROGRAMME, AIMING TO PROVE COMMERCIAL WHALING CAN BE SUSTAINABLE. I HAVE NOT HEARD A VIABLE CASE FROM NZ IN TERMS OF A CLEAR DEMONSTRATION OF JAPAN'S VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. THE HEARING IS EXPECTED TO WRAP UP NEXT WEEK, BUT THE 16-JUDGE PANEL WILL LIKELY TAKE MONTHS TO ISSUE A JUDGEMENT. AUSTRALIA'S HOPING A RULING COMES IN TIME TO PREVENT THE JAPANESE FLEET FROM SETTING OFF FOR ANTARCTIC WATERS NEXT SUMMER. DANIELLE STANBURY, ONE NEWS. EGYPT'S INTERIM PRESIDENT HAS CALLED FOR CALM AFTER MORE THAN 50 PROTESTERS WERE SHOT DEAD IN CAIRO. THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SAYS ITS MEMBERS HAD GATHERED TO DEMAND THE REINSTATEMENT OF MOHAMED MORSI AS PRESIDENT. THEY DESCRIBE THE SHOOTINGS AS A MASSACRE AND ARE CALLING FOR AN UPRISING AGAINST THE ARMY. THE BBC'S QUENTIN SOMMERVILLE REPORTS. SHOTS RING UNDER FIRE FROM TEAR GAS AND LIVE BULLETS, THESE MORSI SUPPORTERS RUN FOR COVER. IT'S JUST AFTER DAWN, AND IT'S THE EGYPTIAN ARMY THAT IS SHOOTING AT THEM. THEY SAY THEY WERE UNARMED AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR MORNING PRAYERS WHEN THE ATTACK BEGAN. BUT THE ARMY SUPPLIED THIS VIDEO WITH A DIFFERENT VERSION OF EVENTS, BLAMING GUNMEN AND OTHERS IN THE CROWD FOR PROVOKING THEM. WHAT ISN'T IN DISPUTE IS THAT SCORES WERE KILLED, NEARLY ALL OF THEM PROTESTERS. HUNDREDS WERE INJURED AND RUSHED TO MAKESHIFT HOSPITALS IN NEARBY MOSQUES. THIS WAS THE AFTERMATH LATER THIS MORNING. THEY SHOWED US BULLET HOLES AND SHELL CASINGS. (SPEAKS IN ARABIC) THIS MAN SAYS, 'I GOT HIT IN THE BACK WHILE I WAS PRAYING. 'WE JUST STARTED WHEN WE WERE SURROUNDED BY THE ARMY. 'THEY CAME AND HIT US FROM BEHIND.' MEN CHANT IN ARABIC BUT THE TROUBLE HERE WAS FAR FROM OVER. THE ARMY MOVED TO SURROUND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. SHOTS RING GET BEHIND US! GET BEHIND HERE! UH, THERE'S GUNFIRE IN THE STREET. WE'VE JUST HEARD THREE ROUNDS BEING FIRED. A MAN BEING BEATEN UP DOWN THERE. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FIRE'S COMING FROM OR WHO IS ACTUALLY SHOOTING. IT APPEARED TO BE WARNING SHOTS. LATER STILL, TEAR GAS WAS USED TO KEEP THE PROTESTERS BACK. SHOTS RING THEY STOOD THEIR GROUND, AND SO TOO DID THE ARMY. TODAY WAS THE BLOODIEST DAY SINCE PRESIDENT MORSI WAS OUSTED. THE CONFRONTATION HERE SHOWS NO SIGN OF WANING, AND THE VIOLENCE ONLY GETS WORSE. EGYPT'S INTERIM LEADER HAS OUTLINED HIS TIMETABLE FOR NEW ELECTIONS, WHICH COULD BE HELD BY FEBRUARY. THE BODIES OF SOME OF THOSE KILLED AFTER A RUNAWAY CRUDE OIL TRAIN BLEW UP IN A CANADIAN TOWN MAY NEVER BE RECOVERED. THERE HAVE NOW BEEN 13 CONFIRMED DEATHS, BUT WITH NEARLY 40 PEOPLE STILL MISSING FEARED DEAD, THERE ARE FEARS THIS COULD TURN INTO CANADA'S MOST DEADLY RAIL DISASTER IN MORE THAN 50 YEARS. THE BBC'S PAUL ADAMS REPORTS. MORE THAN TWO DAYS AFTER THE FIRST EXPLOSIONS, A SCENE OF DEVASTATION AND LINGERING DANGER ` MUCH OF LAC-MAGENTIC TOO HAZARDOUS FOR INVESTIGATORS TO EXAMINE OVERNIGHT, AND A DEATH TOLL THAT SEEMS DESTINED TO RISE. MANY OF THE MISSING ARE THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN DRINKING IN A BAR IN THE EARLY HOURS OF SATURDAY WHEN THE DRIVERLESS TRAIN BLEW UP IN THE CENTRE OF TOWN. WE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT AROUND` MORE OR LESS 40 PEOPLE ARE REPORTED MISSING, AND THAT WE DON'T KNOW THEIR WHEREABOUTS. ONE LOCAL LIKENED IT TO AN ATOMIC BOMB, A GIANT FIREBALL, AS THE TRAIN DERAILED... BOOM! MAN SPEAKS FRENCH ...AND SOME OF ITS 73 WAGONS OF CRUDE OIL EXPLODED. DOZENS OF NEARBY BUILDINGS WERE FLATTENED OR VAPORISED. THE REASONS FOR ALL THIS ARE STILL A MYSTERY. THE TRAIN TRAVELLED OUT OF CONTROL FOR EIGHT MILES FROM A NEARBY TOWN. IT'S EMERGED FIREMEN HAD ALREADY PUT OUT AN ENGINE FIRE LATE ON FRIDAY, MINUTES BEFORE THE PARKED TRAIN SIMPLY ROLLED AWAY. A LOCAL SECONDARY SCHOOL HAS BEEN TURNED INTO AN EMERGENCY SHELTER. AS MANY AS 2000 PEOPLE, A THIRD OF THE POPULATION, FORCED FROM THEIR HOMES. THERE'S UNCERTAINTY AND DREAD HERE. SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL MISSING FAMILY MEMBERS. INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING AT WHETHER THE TRAIN'S BRAKES WERE SOMEHOW SWITCHED OFF. THE OPERATOR SAID ONE LOCOMOTIVE WAS LEFT RUNNING, TO MAKE SURE THE BRAKES WORKED. THERE ARE ALSO QUESTIONS ABOUT POLLUTION ` AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY OF FUEL HAS SPILLED INTO A NEARBY RIVER AND LAKE. INVESTIGATORS LOOKING INTO THE FATAL CRASH OF AN ASIANA AIRLINES FLIGHT AT SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT ARE CHECKING WHETHER THE PLANE WAS FLYING ON AUTOPILOT WHEN IT CAME IN TO LAND. IT'S BEEN REVEALED THE PILOT HAD NEVER LANDED A BOEING 777 AT SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT BEFORE AND THE PLANE WAS WELL BELOW THE TARGET AIR SPEED FOR A RUNWAY APPROACH. THE ABC'S DAVID MUIR HAS THE LATEST. NEW IMAGES OF THOSE FLEEING PASSENGERS DETERMINED TO GET OUT ALIVE AFTER ASIANA AIRLINES FLIGHT 214 CRASHED AS IT CAME FOR LANDING. YOU CAN SEE THE EMERGENCY CHUTES INFLATE, PASSENGERS SLIDING DOWN THEM, RACING TO GET AWAY FROM THAT PLANE. THE FAMILY CAPTURING THESE IMAGES WERE STUNNED BY WHAT THEY WERE SEEING. WOMAN: OH MY GOD. THAT'S SCARY. THEY'RE RUNNING OUT. WITH A CLOUD OF DARK SMOKE GROWING, SOME OF THE PASSENGERS COULD BE SEEN RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES TO THE END OF THE RUNWAY. EVERYBODY'S JUST RUNNING. ALL OF THIS UNFOLDING AFTER THOSE CRUCIAL SEVEN SECONDS THAT DECIDED THE FATE OF THIS FLIGHT. THE PILOT IN CHARGE OF LANDING WAS IN TRAINING ` FIRST TIME LANDING A BOEING 777 IN SAN FRANCISCO. AND FROM ONE OF THE BLACK BOXES, WE'VE LEARNED THAT JUST SEVEN SECONDS FROM IMPACT, A CALL THE COCKPIT, THE PILOT SUDDENLY LOOKING TO INCREASE SPEED, THE JET HOVERING FAR TOO LOW OVER THE WATER. THEN JUST FOUR SECONDS FROM IMPACT, THE JET APPROACHED THE SEA WALL AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY. AND FROM THAT BLACK BOX, THE SOUND OF WHAT IS CALL THE STICK SHAKER ` CONTROL RATTLES AN URGENT WARNING MECHANISM IN THE COCKPIT THAT LITERALLY SHAKES THE CONTROLS AND THE PILOT'S HANDS, AS SEEN HERE IN A VIDEO BY MPL SIMULATOR SOLUTIONS. THAT SHAKING TELLS THE PILOT THE JET WAS SUDDENLY MOVING TOO SLOWLY TO PULL OFF A SAFE LANDING. AND THEN JUST A SECOND AND A HALF BEFORE IMPACT, A CALL FROM THE COCKPIT FOR A GO-AROUND TO CIRCLE THE AIRPORT AGAIN. IT WAS FAR TOO LATE. THE JET CRASHES, WITH THE TAIL HITTING FIRST, SHEARING OFF THE BACK OF THE PLANE. EVERYWHERE IS ASH. ZHANG WEN IS SEAT 40-C, TRAVELLING WITH HER SON (4), WHO BROKE HIS LEG. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CABIN, MINUTES FROM ESCAPING, YOU COULD SEE THE FLAMES THROUGH THE WINDOWS. THERE WAS EUGENE RAH IN SEAT 3-K. HE'D BEEN BUMPED UP TO BUSINESS CLASS JUST BEFORE THE FLIGHT. THOSE ROWS ARE STILL INTACT ` ONE OF THE FIRST OFF THE PLANE. THE FIREFIGHTERS FIRST TO RESPOND CLIMBED UP THOSE CHUTES AND INTO THE BURNING PLANE, WHERE THEY FOUND TRAPPED PASSENGERS IN THE BACK. I THINK IT WAS MORE SHOCK THAT I SAW. I DIDN'T SEE FEAR. I SAW SHOCK. AND THIS EVENING, NEW IMAGES OF THE TWO GIRLS LOST ` THE SCHOOLGIRLS (16) FROM CHINA. THE FIRE CHIEF TOLD ME THE INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY INTO THE VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THAT ONE OF THEM MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIT BY ONE OF THE RESCUE TRUCKS DURING THE CHAOS. THERE'S BEEN A ROYAL BABY ANNOUNCEMENT FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE TODAY, BUT NOT THE ONE THE WORLD'S WAITING FOR. THE QUEEN'S GRANDDAUGHTER ZARA PHILLIPS AND HER RUGBY PLAYER HUSBAND MIKE TINDALL ARE EXPECTING THEIR FIRST CHILD EARLY NEXT YEAR. THE COUPLE MARRIED IN EDINBURGH IN 2011. THE BIRTH WILL FOLLOW THE ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE'S BABY, WHICH IS DUE IN A FEW DAYS. STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` THE SHAREMARKET AND BUSINESS NEWS. THEN IN SPORT ` A NEW HOME FOR THE NZ GOLF OPEN. AND ANDY MURRAY HAS A SWIPE AT BRITISH TENNIS OFFICIALS. IN BUSINESS NEWS ` THE LATEST BUSINESS OPINION SURVEY SHOWS A SOLID NZ ECONOMIC PICTURE. OVER 30% OF BUSINESSES ARE OPTIMISTIC. THAT'S A THREE-YEAR HIGH. MANY EXPECT INTEREST RATES TO RISE IN THE NEXT YEAR. GROWTH IS SURGING IN CHRISTCHURCH, AND MORTGAGE APPROVALS ARE SLOWING. WE SPENT MORE WITH OUR CREDIT AND EFTPOS CARDS LAST MONTH. TOTAL RETAIL SPENDING USING ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS WAS UP 1.1% IN JUNE. EVERY INDUSTRY HAD AN INCREASE ` THE FIRST TIME THAT'S HAPPENED SINCE LAST AUGUST. FUEL AND HOSPITALITY HAD THE BIGGEST INCREASES. THE AVERAGE VALUE OF A TRANSACTION WAS $51.

THERE'LL BE NO TOURNAMENT THIS YEAR. THE OPEN IS BEING MERGED WITH THE NZ PGA PRO-AM, WHICH HAS PROVEN SUCCESSFUL AT THE HILLS COURSE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE EVENT HAS ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE JAPAN TOUR, WITH THE HIGHEST-FINISHING ELIGIBLE PLAYER EARNING ENTRY TO THREE BIG JAPANESE TOURNAMENTS. THAT CAN BE THE STEPPING STONE TO ADVANCING YOUR PROFESSIONAL CAREER. YOU PLAY WELL IN THOSE, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'VE GOT PLAYING RIGHTS ON THE THIRD-BIGGEST TOUR IN THE WORLD.

ANDY MURRAY'S BEEN REVELLING IN HIS NEW LIFE AS WIMBLEDON CHAMPION ` HOBNOBBING WITH THE PRIME MINISTER AT DOWNING STREET AMID TALK OF A LOOMING KNIGHTHOOD. BUT MURRAY HAS TAKEN A SWIPE AT BRITISH TENNIS ADMINISTRATION, SAYING HE HOPES HIS WIN WILL INSPIRE A NEW GENERATION OF TOP BRITISH PLAYERS. THE BBC'S DAVID BOND REPORTS. ANDY MURRAY IS THE WIMBLEDON CHAMPION! IT'S AN IMAGE WE WILL NEVER TIRE OF SEEING. THE GOLDEN MOMENT WHEN ANDY MURRAY ENDED BRITAIN'S AGONISING WAIT FOR A WIMBLEDON CHAMPION. CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK ANDY! NEARLY 24 HOURS AFTER REWRITING HISTORY, IT WAS OFF TO DOWNING ST FOR AN AUDIENCE WITH THE PRIME MINISTER. WITH TALK OF A KNIGHTHOOD ALREADY IN THE AIR, THIS OUTSIDER FROM DUNBLANE IS WELL ON HIS WAY TO BECOMING A PART OF THE SPORTING ESTABLISHMENT. YOU KNOW, HOW EVER LONG IT HAD BEEN ` OVER 70 YEARS ` SINCE ANY BRIT HAD WON WIMBLEDON, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT` THAT PART, EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH IT, I'LL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE TO SINK IN. INEVITABLY, MURRAY'S SUCCESS HAS PROMPTED A DEBATE ABOUT LEGACY. THE AWKWARD TRUTH OF BRITISH TENNIS IS THAT MURRAY'S RISE TO THE TOP DISGUISES AN ALARMING LACK OF DEPTH. TENNIS IN THIS COUNTRY, I THINK, HAS GOT QUITE A BAD REPUTATION, SO, YEAH, I HOPE YESTERDAY HELPS WITH THAT. I HOPE THE REPUTATION IMPROVES AND HOPE WE CAN GET MORE KIDS PLAYING AND SEE SOME MORE GRAND SLAM CHAMPIONS IN THE FUTURE. THAT'S THE CHALLENGE FACING BRITISH TENNIS NOW ` HOW TO USE ANDY MURRAY'S BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT TO CREATE A NEW GENERATION OF WINNERS. SOME SPORTING EXPERTS ARE CLAIMING ROBBIE DEANS HAS BEEN SACKED AS THE WALLABIES COACH PARTLY BECAUSE HE'S A NZER. THE AUSTRALIAN RUGBY UNION HAS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED TODAY THAT DEANS' CONTRACT HAS BEEN TERMINATED. DEANS HAS ENDED HIS SIX YEARS IN THE JOB WITH THE DISAPPOINTING SERIES LOSS TO THE LIONS. BUT SPORTS JOURNALIST PHIL GIFFORD SAYS THE POOR RESULTS ARE ONLY PART OF THE ISSUE. I THINK IT'S SIMPLY DOWN TO PLAYER STRENGTH, OR LACK OF PLAYER STRENGTH. I MEAN, 58% FOR AN ALL BLACK COACH WOULD BE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. IT'S ABOUT AVERAGE FOR A WALLABIES COACH, SO IT WAS ALWAYS GONNA BE A HELL OF A TOUGH TASK. AT THE HEART OF HIS PROBLEM WITH AUSTRALIAN RUGBY, I DON'T THINK IT ALMOST` NOT SO MUCH TO DO WITH THE RESULTS, WHICH WERE FAR FROM SENSATIONAL BUT ALSO NOT THAT BAD, IT'S PURELY HE'S A NZER COACHING AN AUSTRALIAN TEAM. RUGBY A POLITICAL SPORT IN AUSTRALIA AS NZER, HARDER EFFORT REQUIRED THE AUSTRALIAN RUGBY UNION IS TIPPED TO NAME EWAN MCKENZIE AS ROBBIE DEANS' REPLACEMENT. RICHIE MCCAW'S BREAK FROM COMPETITIVE RUGBY IS ALMOST OVER, WITH THE ALL BLACKS FLANKER SET TO TURN OUT IN A CLUB MATCH THIS WEEKEND. AFTER SIX MONTHS ON LIGHT DUTIES TO FRESHEN UP, MCCAW HAS BEEN BACK TRAINING WITH THE CRUSADERS IN RECENT WEEKS.
