A SURPRISE AND FRAGILE TRUCE IS DECLARED BETWEEN NUCLEAR-ARMED NEIGHBOURS INDIA AND PAKISTAN, BUT IT'S ALREADY SHOWING SIGNS OF STRAIN. THE PUSH FOR A LEGAL MINIMUM AGE OF 16 FOR KIWI KIDS TO ACCESS SOCIAL MEDIA GAINS SOME HIGH-PROFILE MOMENTUM. BOY RACERS AND FLEEING DRIVERS ARE ON NOTICE AS THE GOVERNMENT RAMPS UP PUNISHMENTS FOR ANTISOCIAL ROAD BEHAVIOUR. AND THE NEIGHBOURS AT WAR ` A TASMAN COUPLE SAY THEY'RE BEING HELD PRISONER ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY. CAPTIONS BY TOM CLARKE. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2025 KIA ORA. THIS IS THREENEWS. WHILE A SURPRISE CEASEFIRE BETWEEN NUCLEAR-ARMED NEIGHBOURS AT WAR INDIA AND PAKISTAN IS BEING WELCOMED, THERE'S PESSIMISM AROUND A LASTING TRUCE FOLLOWING REPORTS OF REPEATED VIOLATIONS TO THE U.S.-NEGOTIATED PEACE DEAL. IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN THIS BITTER CONFLICT, WITH THE HIGHLY-CONTESTED REGION OF KASHMIR REMAINING A STICKING POINT. RUWANI PERERA WITH THE STORY. THESE PASSENGERS ` AMONG THEM, SEVERAL KIWI CRICKETERS, LIKE KANE WILLIAMSON AND KYLE JAMIESON ` FLEEING PAKISTAN ON A CHARTER FLIGHT TO DUBAI JUST HOURS AFTER INDIA LAUNCHED A MISSILE STRIKE AT THE NUR KHAN AIRBASE. BUT OVERNIGHT SIGNS OF OPTIMISM WITH UNITED STATES VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE AND SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO WORKING THE PHONES AND REPORTEDLY HELPING TO MEDIATE A CEASEFIRE BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS. IT WAS AGREED BETWEEN THEM THAT BOTH SIDES WOULD STOP ALL FIGHTING AND MILITARY ACTION ON LAND AND IN THE AIR AND SEA. (SPEAKS URDU) TRANSLATOR: WE HAVE ACTED AS A RESPONSIBLE STATE FOR THE WORLD AND REGIONAL PEACE AND STABILITY. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP CLAIMED THE CREDIT FOR THE TRUCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, CONGRATULATING BOTH COUNTRIES ON USING COMMON SENSE AND GREAT INTELLIGENCE. LET'S HOPE THAT THE POSSESSION OF NUCLEAR ARMS BY BOTH OF THEM MIGHT MAKE THEM MORE... MINDFUL OF THE NEED FOR DIPLOMACY THAN BEFORE. ON THE STREETS OF ISLAMABAD, THEY CELEBRATED, BUT DON'T BE FOOLED BY SCENES LIKE THIS, NOT NECESSARILY OF A SIGN OF GENUINE PEACE. (DISTANT EXPLOSIONS) JUST HOURS AFTER THE TRUCE TO END MILITARY ACTIONS WAS CALLED, MULTIPLE EXPLOSIONS AND GUNFIRE WERE REPORTED IN KASHMIR. BOTH SIDES ACCUSING THE OTHER OF VIOLATING THE AGREEMENT. THERE'S BEEN THREE WARS FOUGHT OVER KASHMIR, SO ONE HAS TO REACT CAUTIOUSLY OVER NEWS OF A CEASEFIRE ` AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY SHAKY CEASEFIRE AT THE MOMENT. A TERRIFYING SIGHT IN PUNJAB CLOSE TO AN AIRBASE ` AN UNEXPLODED BOMB CONTAINED BY SANDBAGS WAITING DISPOSAL EXPERTS; ALSO A DRONE CRASH-LANDED INTO THIS FIELD, NARROWLY MISSING THIS WOMAN'S FARM. FARMER FAMILIES ARE SCARED IN INDIA, SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP THE WAR. A SIMPLE PLEA, BUT ONE WHERE A QUICK AND LASTING RESOLUTION SEEMS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AFTER ALMOST EIGHT DECADES OF BITTER RIVALRY. A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION'S BEEN LAUNCHED AFTER A TEENAGER DIED DURING A VIOLENT INCIDENT IN NAPIER EARLY TODAY. POLICE SAY THEY WERE CALLED TO A DISORDER EVENT IN ONEKAWA ABOUT 3.10am. WHEN THEY ARRIVED, THEY FOUND A CRITICALLY INJURED TEEN BOY, AND DESPITE PARAMEDIC ATTENTION, HE DIED AT THE SCENE. ANOTHER INJURED TEEN WAS FOUND NEARBY BUT HAS SINCE BEEN DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL. PRIME MINISTER CHRISTOPHER LUXON SAYS CABINET WILL CONSIDER A SOCIAL MEDIA BAN ON UNDER-16s, DESPITE COALITION PARTNER ACT DECLARING ITS OPPOSITION. HE MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE LAUNCH OF A CAMPAIGN, CALLING FOR A LEGAL MINIMUM AGE OF 16 TO ACCESS SOCIAL MEDIA HERE. IT'S CALLED 'BEFORE 16' AND IS GAINING SUPPORT FROM MPs FROM ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM, SCHOOL LEADERS, CHILD HEALTH EXPERTS AND FAMILIES. B416 IS HEADED BY AUCKLAND MUMS FORMER XERO EXECUTIVE BEFORE 16 IS HEADED BY AUCKLAND MUMS FORMER XERO EXECUTIVE AND KIWIBANK DIRECTOR ANNA CURZIN, AND 'MY FOOD BAG' FOUNDER CECILIA ROBINSON. PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS IN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HAS INCREASED BY 400%. 400%. ONE IN FOUR KIWI KIDS WILL FACE A MENTAL ILLNESS BEFORE THEY TURN 18. TEENS ARE SPENDING MORE THAN 42 HOURS ONLINE EACH WEEK. THAT IS MORE THAN A FULL-TIME JOB. AND 77% OF THOSE STRUGGLING WITH SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS AREN'T GETTING THE SUPPORT THEY NEED. THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUE. YOU KNOW, I TALK TO PARENTS, I TALK TO TEACHERS, I TALK TO PRINCIPALS, AND THEY ARE ALL STRUGGLING WITH ACTUALLY THE HARM THAT SOCIAL MEDIA IS CAUSING OUR KIDS. THE PRIME MINISTER HAS TASKED EDUCATION MINISTER ERICA STANFORD WITH INVESTIGATING HOW SOCIAL MEDIA COULD BE RESTRICTED IN NEW ZEALAND. A CRACK-DOWN ON BOY RACERS HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED. THE GOVERNMENT IS BRINGING IN A RAFT OF STRONGER PENALTIES TO DETER ANTI-SOCIAL AND INTIMIDATING DRIVING BEHAVIOURS. POLICE WILL GAIN MORE POWERS TO MANAGE ILLEGAL GATHERINGS, NOISE INFRINGEMENT FEES ARE INCREASING FROM $50 TO $300, AND A PRESUMPTIVE SENTENCE OF VEHICLE DESTRUCTION OR FORFEITURE WILL BE BROUGHT IN FOR THOSE DRIVERS WHO FLEE POLICE, CARRY OUT STREET RACING, OR PARTICIPATE IN INTIMIDATING CAR CONVOYS, AND FOR VEHICLE OWNERS WHO FAIL TO IDENTIFY DRIVERS. TRANSPORT MINISTER CHRIS BISHOP SAYS ANTI-SOCIAL EVENTS ARE BECOMING MORE COMMON AND IT'S TIME TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. A COUPLE FROM TASMAN DISTRICT HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH TRESPASS AND SAY THEY ARE EFFECTIVELY BEING HELD PRISONER ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY. TONY WALL REPORTS ON A NEIGHBOURS' DISPUTE WHICH HAS SEEN POLICE CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. FOR LEAH GIBSON AND CARL WATTERS, PURCHASING A 38ha PROPERTY NEAR DOVETAIL IN TASMAN WAS A DREAM COME TRUE. I LOVE THAT IT'S QUIET OUT HERE AND MEANT TO BE DRAMA-FREE. (LAUGHS) IT WAS MEANT TO BE PEACEFUL AND JUST A GOOD, SAFE PLACE TO RAISE TWO LITTLE GIRLS. BUT THE DREAM HAS BECOME A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE OF A DISPUTE OVER ACCESS TO THE LAND. THE COUPLE SAYS LEGAL ACCESS TO THEIR LANDLOCKED PROPERTY IS UNSUITABLE AND HAS NEVER BEEN DEVELOPED. INSTEAD, THEY HAD A GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER TO USE A 400m SECTION OF TRACK THAT CROSSES THE NEIGHBOUR'S PROPERTY. THE PREVIOUS GUY WAS GOOD AS GOLD, WASN'T REALLY MUCH DRAMA THERE. BUT THEN THE NEIGHBOURING PROPERTY WAS SOLD TO A NEW OWNER, MARK MERKIN, WHO INITIALLY INDICATED HE'D BE HAPPY TO LEGALISE THE COUPLE'S ACCESS TO HIS DRIVE. HE ACTUALLY CAME TO US AND MET US AND SAID HE WANTED TO GET THE BALL ROLLING AND GET IT ALL INITIATED AND STUFF, AND NOW IT'S JUST 100% DONE A FULL U-TURN, AND CONDITION UPON CONDITION, AND WE DON'T HAVE AN ACCESS WAY, AND WE'RE TRESPASSED. WE DON'T HAVE A FORM TO ACCESS WAY, AND WE'RE TRESPASSED. WE DON'T HAVE A FORMed ACCESS WAY, AND WE'RE TRESPASSED. WE DON'T HAVE A FORMED ACCESS WAY, AND WE'RE TRESPASSED. IT'S UNDERSTOOD MIRKIN'S BECOME UNHAPPY ABOUT GATES BEING LEFT OPEN ON HIS SECTION OF THE TRACK AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE FROM HEAVY VEHICLES. HE TOLD THREE NEWS HE HAD OFFERED A DEAL TO HIS NEIGHBOURS, WHERE THEY'D PAY $100 A MONTH FOR USE OF THE DRIVE, OR, HE SAYS, THEY COULD DEVELOP THEIR OWN LEGAL ACCESS. BUT THE COUPLE SAY THAT IT WOULD COST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. POLICE HAVE BEEN CALLED TO THE PROPERTY MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER MIRKIN'S TRESPASS COMPLAINTS. I REMEMBER THEY SENT FOUR POLICE OFFICERS OUT TO ARREST ME, AND I WAS IN THE CAR` I'D JUST LEFT, GONE DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I JUST LEFT TAKING THE KIDS TO THE DENTIST AND THEN TO THE DOCTORS, AND THE POLICE PULLED ME OVER AT THE OTHER END OF THE DRIVEWAY AND SAID, 'WE'RE ACTUALLY HERE TO ARREST YOU.' THE COUPLE SAY POLICE GAVE ADVICE FOR GETTING ON AND OFF THEIR PROPERTY. THEY QUOTED, 'LEAVE UNDER THE COVER OF DARKNESS 'SO THAT YOU CAN'T BE FILMED,' BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE FILMED, OUR HANDS ARE TIED. SO IS THAT WHAT YOU DID? YEAH. SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID. WE LEFT ABOUT` WE GOT A MOTORHOME GOING, LEFT ABOUT... 5 OR 6 IN THE MORNING. YEAH. BEFORE SUNRISE. GOT THE KIDS IN THERE. THEY WERE ALL LAY DOWN WITH OUR HEADS DOWN, COVERED OUR HEADS AND JUST HAULED IT OUT THE DRIVEWAY. AND THEN WHEN ON THE RUN, LITERALLY IN THE BUSH, DIDN'T WE? SO THERE'S THREE CHARGES IN FRONT OF US AT THAT STAGE, AND WE JUST DON'T WANT IT TO CARRY ON. THEY HAVE APPEALED FOR THE LOCAL COUNCIL TO STEP IN. IN A STATEMENT, THE TASMAN DISTRICT COUNCIL SAID THEY WERE... THEY WENT ON TO SAY THEY... THEY WENT ON TO SAY THEY... GIBSON AND WATTERS HAVE GONE TO THE HIGH COURT SEEKING RELIEF, BUT BELIEVE THE COUNCIL HAS A DUTY TO HELP RESOLVE THE DISPUTE. COMPLETELY OFFICIALLY LANDLOCKED, SO WAITING FOR A HIGH COURT DATE TO GET IN THERE SO THAT WE CAN LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT BEING ARRESTED. THEY FEEL LIKE PRISONERS ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY. EVERYONE THAT IS LANDLOCKED, THEIR CASE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT CASE-BY-CASE, AND IT BE TAKEN URGENTLY, BECAUSE IT'S COMPLETELY AGAINST YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE TO GET MEDICINE, GO TO THE DENTIST, GET FOOD. LIKE, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO FOR FOOD FOR SIX MONTHS WHEN` ...IF WE ABIDE BY THE LAW? ...IF WE ABIDE BY THE LAW? NEXT ON THREENEWS ` ALL ABOARD THE BRAVERY EXPRESS. THE COALITION OF THE WILLING HOLDS TALKS IN UKRAINE AND ISSUES ULTIMATUMS AND WARNINGS. PRESIDENT PUTIN MAKES A COUNTER OFFER. LATER IN SPORT ` THE CHIEFS DELIVER A GUTPUNCH TO THE CRUSADERS AS THE CANTABRIANS BLOW A 16-POINT LEAD. AND THE WARRIORS MAKE IT HARD FOR FANS TO KEEP THE FAITH, THEN ENTER LUKE METCALF AND HIS MAGIC BOOT. (ENGINE REVS) Oh. OK, turn off the car. (PHONE RINGS) GIRL: Dad! Hey, man. Long time no talk. Yeah, just... I'm teaching Samara how to drive. (BRIGHT MUSIC) Hi! Could you do something for me? SONG: # Oh, baby, you... # Thanks. # You've got what I need # You got everything I need # You're like medicine to me... # VOICEOVER: Wonderful stories enter our stores every day. Find your wonderful. New World. WELCOME BACK. RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS PROPOSED TO RESTART DIRECT CEASEFIRE TALKS WITH UKRAINE IN ISTANBUL ON MAY 15, 'WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS'. TALKS WITH UKRAINE IN ISTANBUL ON MAY 15 'WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS'. HIS OFFER FOLLOWS A LANDMARK MEETING BETWEEN UKRAINE AND ITS ALLIES IN KYIV OVERNIGHT. THE GROUP CALLED PUTIN OUT AND ISSUED AN ULTIMATUM. ITV'S EMMA MURPHY WAS THERE. THEY CAME TO TALK PEACE IN A COUNTRY AT WAR. THE LEADERS OF FRANCE, GERMANY, THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND POLAND IN KYIV TO DEMAND A 30-DAY UNCONDITIONAL CEASE FIRE FROM RUSSIA. MORE THAN 30 OTHER NATIONS JOINED REMOTELY. PART OF THE COALITION OF THE WILLING ` SEEKING AN END TO THREE YEARS OF BATTLE AND LOSS. SO TODAY WE'LL FOCUS ON HOW TO BUILD AND GUARANTEE REAL AND LASTING SECURITY. THE PROPOSAL IS FOR A CEASE FIRE BEGINNING ON MONDAY; IF NOT, RUSSIA WILL SEE INCREASED SANCTIONS AND UKRAINE INCREASED MILITARY SUPPORT. THE AMERICANS WERE BRIEFED ON THE PHONE. IT WILL BE FOR THEM TO EXERT THE LEVERAGE ON RUSSIA. IF RUSSIA DOES NOT COMPLY, IT MUST FACE CONSEQUENCES WITH ADDITIONAL SANCTIONS AND FURTHER SUPPORT TO UKRAINE. AND WE HAVE TO PREPARE A NEW PACKAGE OF SANCTIONS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE BUSINESS AS USUAL. PRESIDENT PUTIN HAD PREVIOUSLY DISMISSED SUGGESTIONS OF AN EXTENDED PAUSE, AND IT SEEMS UNLIKELY RUSSIA'S POSITION WILL HAVE CHANGED NOW. PRIME MINISTER STARMER, YOU SAY THIS IS A MOMENT TO CALL OUT PRESIDENT PUTIN TO SHOW HIS COMMITMENT TO PEACE. DO YOU BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY WANTS PEACE? AND IF HE DOESN'T, WHY DO YOU THINK SANCTIONS WILL WORK NOW WHEN YOU'VE BEEN SANCTIONING FOR THREE YEARS AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE BEEN ENTIRELY EFFECTIVE? WHAT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME IS THE UNITY, THE STRENGTH, THE FACT THAT WE'VE GOT THE U.S., EUROPE, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, OTHER COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD ALL SPEAKING WITH ONE VOICE ON THIS VITAL POINT AT THIS VITAL TIME, AND THEREFORE CO-ORDINATING WHAT WE CAN DO WITH FURTHER SANCTIONS. PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY, IF I COULD ALSO ASK YOU, HOW BADLY DOES YOUR COUNTRY NEED THIS CEASEFIRE, AND HOW LIKELY DO YOU THINK IT IS THAT YOU WILL GET THAT CEASEFIRE? (SPEAKS UKRAINIAN) TRANSLATOR: AN UNCONDITIONAL CEASEFIRE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FINISH THIS WAR BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN A DIPLOMATIC TRACK. DEFINITELY, IT WILL HAPPEN. THE ONLY ISSUE IS WHEN. WE GATHERED HERE TO HELP IT HAPPEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE EVERY DAY, THERE IS AN INCREASE IN THE CASUALTIES OF THIS WAR. THE LEADERS MARKED THOSE LOSSES, NO DOUBT AWARE HOW MUCH RESTS ON THIS CEASEFIRE BEING ACCEPTED AND HOW UNLIKELY IT IS TO BE SO. TAYLOR SWIFT'S REPRESENTATIVES SAY SHE'S BEING USED AS TABLOID CLICKBAIT IN THE LEGAL BATTLE BETWEEN HER FRIEND ACTOR BLAKE LIVELY, AND DIRECTOR JUSTIN BALDONI. THE SINGER'S BEEN SUMMONED TO A U.S. COURT OVER ALLEGATIONS SHE ENCOURAGED BALDONI TO ACCEPT RE-WRITES OF THE CONTROVERSIAL FILM, IT ENDS WITH U.S., WITH HIS CO-STAR, LIVELY. LAST DECEMBER, LIVELY SUED BALDONI, ACCUSING HIM OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND A SMEAR CAMPAIGN. BALDONI COUNTER-SUED ON CLAIMS OF CIVIL EXTORTION, DEFAMATION, AND INVASION OF PRIVACY. TIME NOW FOR A LOOK AT THE DAY'S SPORT. THE WARRIORS TOOK THEIR FANS ON ANOTHER ROLLERCOASTER RIDE IN THE NRL LAST NIGHT, BUT ONCE AGAIN HAD LUKE METCALF TO THANK AS THEY EXTENDED THEIR UNBEATEN RUN TO FOUR GAMES. THEY HELD ON TO BEAT THE DRAGONS 15-14 IN WOLLONGONG, WITH METCALF ONCE AGAIN DELIVERING WHEN HIS TEAM NEEDED IT MOST. TOM BARTLETT HAS THE ACTION. HEAD COACH ANDREW WEBSTER RECKONS LUKE METCALF WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE STADIUM WHO KNEW WHAT WAS COMING. METCALFE, HE IS THINKING ONE-POINTER, AND HE'S GOT IT! A 71ST-MINUTE FIELD GOAL JUST ENOUGH TO GET HIS TEAM OVER THE LINE. I DON'T GIVE AWAY TOO MUCH HERE, BUT LUKE ACTUALLY PRACTICED THAT DECEPTION BIT BUT LUKE ACTUALLY PRACTISED THAT DECEPTION BIT THAT HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S PLAYING, AND THEN HE KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. SO HE'S ACTUALLY PUTTING A LOT OF TIME INTO THOSE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT HAPPEN TO BE BIG PLAYS AT THE TIME. BUT METCALF'S INFLUENCE DIDN'T JUST COME AT THE END OF THE GAME. A PIECE OF INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANCE GOT THE SCOREBOARD MOVING IN THE WARRIORS' FAVOUR AFTER EIGHT MINUTES. KEEPS IT GOING TO METCALFE. HE TAKES THEM ON! HE WILL REACH OUT! WHAT A BLOSSOMING HALFBACK IS LUKE METCALFE IN THE NRL! AND WITH THE LEFT EDGE BEING THE CLEAR DOMINANT SIDE, METCALFE WAS AT IT AGAIN NOT LONG AFTER, SETTING HIS WING A FREE. METCALFE WAS AT IT AGAIN NOT LONG AFTER, SETTING HIS WINGER FREE. CHANCE OUT WIDE FOR POMPEY, TAPPING IT BACK TO METCALFE. STRAIGHT TO TUAPIKI. BRILLIANT HANDS! IT WAS A FIRST-HALF MASTERCLASS THE WARRIORS JUST COULDN'T REPLICATE IN THE SECOND 40. WE'RE NOT PLAYING OUR BEST FOOTBALL IN THE SECOND HALF, BUT WE'RE VERY TOUGH AT THE END AND RESILIENT. WE'RE OBVIOUSLY LOSING A LOT OF PLAYERS OF INJURIES, AND THE BOYS ARE FIGHTING AWAY. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF YOUNG GUYS LEARNING ON THE RUN. ANDREW WEBSTER'S SIDE CONCEDED TWO MORE TRIES AFTER HALF TIME, EXPOSED DOWN A RIGHT EDGE FEATURING THE RETURN OF DALLIN WATENE-ZELEZNIAK. TAKES IT ON HIMSELF WITH THE KICKING, COMES AWAY TO COREY ALLEN. HE THINKS HE HAS SCORED. THE ROUND-10 CURSE OF TEAMS LEADING AT HALF TIME BEFORE LOSING THREATENED TO EXTEND TO THE WARRIORS. SWINGING TOO MUCH. THE NEW ZEALAND-BASED OUTFIT KNEW THEY HAD TO DIG DEEP ` AND THEY DID. THEIR RESILIENCE PROVING TO BE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE END. WEREN'T PLAYING GREAT, BUT, GEEZ, WE SHOWED SOME RESILIENCE. WE GOT SOME FLASHES THERE THAT WE NEED TO HOLD ON TO, MATE, BUT THE RESILIENCE OF THIS TEAM, JUST CAN'T FAULT IT AT THE MOMENT. THE TWO POINTS LOCKING THE WARRIORS INTO SECOND OVERALL, BUT THE COACH CLEAR ABOUT WHAT HE NEEDS TO SEE IF THEY ARE TO REACH THE SUMMIT OF THE STANDINGS. WE AREN'T PERFORMING GREAT, BUT WE'RE WINNING, AND OUR A BIG THING AT THE MOMENT IS ` HOW DO WE LEARN WHILE WE WIN? AND AT THE MOMENT WE STOP LEARNING WHEN WE WIN IS THE MOMENT WE'RE GOING TO GET SMACKED IN THE FACE. SO WE'VE GOT TO KEEP GOING LIKE THAT. THE WARRIORS FACE THE DOLPHINS NEXT WEEK, AND ONCE AGAIN, ALL EYES WILL FALL ON LUKE METCALFE, WHO'S FAST TURNING THE JERSEY HE WAS FIGHTING FOR INTO HIS OWN. THE CHIEFS HAVE TAKEN A BIG STEP TOWARDS SECURING TOP SPOT FOR THE SUPER RUGBY PLAYOFFS. THEY SCORED 32 UNANSWERED POINTS IN LAST NIGHT'S GAME AGAINST THE CRUSADERS TO RUN OUT WINNERS 35-19 AND GO TWO POINTS CLEAR AT THE TOP OF THE COMPETITION STANDINGS. TRIED TO THREAD IT THOUGH, BUT GIDEON RAMPLING MANAGES TO GET IT AWAY TO LEROY CARTER. THIS MAN HAS GOT PLENTY OF GAS. CARTER! CARTER COMES THROUGH. OH, LEROY CARTER! STUNNING FROM CARTER! JUST SHORT. SITITI! SITITI'S THERE! THE BRUMBIES NOW LOOM AS ONE OF THE ONLY TEAMS WHO CAN KNOCK THE CHIEFS OUT OF THE TOP SPOT. THEY'RE UP TO SECOND, THANKS TO A BIG WIN IN PERTH. OVER THE WESTERN FORCE. ...IN HIS 50TH WITH THE BRUMBIES, OLLIE'S IN! THE BRUMBIES COULD CLIMB TO THE SUMMIT NEXT WEEKEND, WHEN THEY HOST THE REDS, WITH THE CHIEFS HAVING A BYE. THE CRUSADERS DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE FULLBACK WILL JORDAN AVAILABLE FOR THEIR NEXT MATCH AGAINST THE WARATAHS. JORDAN INJURED HIS RIGHT KNEE MIDWAY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF LAST NIGHT. THE SEVERITY OF THE INJURY WON'T BE CLEAR UNTIL HE HAS A SCAN, BUT COACH ROB PENNEY EXPECTS TO BE WITHOUT HIM FOR THEIR TRIP TO SYDNEY. NEW ZEALAND'S TOP-RANKED GOLFER, RYAN FOX, HAS A GENUINE CHANCE TO CLAIM HIS FIRST PGA TOUR WIN TONIGHT. HE ENDURED A WILD THIRD ROUND AT THE LATEST EVENT, THE MYRTLE BEACH CLASSIC. FOX'S THREE-UNDER PAR-68 INCLUDED NINE BIRDIES FOX'S THREE-UNDER-PAR 68 INCLUDED NINE BIRDIES AND SIX BOGEYS, BUT HE'S IN CONTENTION, ONLY THREE SHOTS OFF THE LEADER. TRYING TO KEEP THIS COLOURFUL SCORECARD GOING. OH, PULLING THE STRING. I THINK HE CAN GET THAT ONE IN. IF FOX CAN WIN, HE'LL QUALIFY FOR NEXT WEEK'S MAJOR, THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP. PREMIERS PLATE WINNERS, AUCKLAND FC, WILL FACE MELBOURNE VICTORY PREMIERS PLATE WINNERS AUCKLAND FC WILL FACE MELBOURNE VICTORY IN A TWO-LEG HOME-AND-AWAY SEMI-FINAL IN THE A-LEAGUE PLAYOFFS. LAST NIGHT, VICTORY UPSET THE WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS, WHO WERE UNBEATEN IN 14 MATCHES, 2-1 TO ADVANCE. HE'S TRICKED HIS WAY PAST BOTH OF THEM. HERE'S A BIG CHANCE. IT'S 2-1 MELBOURNE VICTORY! ZINEDINE MACHACH WITH THE FINISH. VICTORY WILL HOST THE FIRST LEG AGAINST AUCKLAND FC NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT, BEFORE THE RETURN LEG AT MT SMART ON MAY 24. I'LL HAVE THE WEATHER FOR THE START OF YOUR WORKING WEEK. WE'LL SEE IF NELSON WILL BE GETTING ANY MORE SUNRISES LIKE THIS IN THE COMING WEEK. WELCOME BACK. YOU'RE WATCHING THREE NEWS.
