Jordan Bunce, the son of Frank Bunce who played 55 Tests in the Black jersey, has been named in a 16 strong squad for next weekend's Oceania tournament in Queensland.</div>

Coach Sir Gordon Tietjens is looking forward to working with 20-year-old Bunce saying: "Jordan was great at National Sevens in Rotorua this year and he showed a great sevens skillset at trials".</div>

The tournament will be an opportunity for Tietjens to blood in new players and for players needing game time to contest for a spot in the All Blacks Sevens team to play the first leg of the 2014/2015 World Series tournaments on the Gold Coast.</div>

But it’s just entertainment, and as excited or upset as we might get at the end of a match it makes no material difference to our lives who wins or loses.</div>

But for some the National Rugby League is how they provide for their families and how they identify as a functioning part of society. Whether it’s a club administrator, media personality or even a stadium canteen employee, for them the NRL means an awful lot.</div>

Of course there is a group for who the numbers on the scoreboard and stats sheet can literally be life changing. For the 400 players of the NRL one crucial dropped ball or missed tackle can be the end of a career, as can the emergence of a younger and better player, or an injury.</div>

A quick Google search reveals that the average career of a player in the NRL is 43 games over three or four years, and that does not count the hundreds who never make it to the top grade.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

A little later she came out of her house and again went to the mail box and again opened it, then slammed it shut again. Angrily, back into the house she went.</div>

As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, here she came out again, marched to the mail box, opened it and then slammed it closed harder than ever.</div>

National Youth Competition to be scrapped as officials go back to the drawing board</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The National Youth Competition is set to be scrapped as part of a massive overhaul of the pathways to NRL progression.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The under-20s competition was ushered in with much fanfare in 2008, billed as the chance to showcase the best young talent in the game.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But the Holden Cup will cease to exist when the current broadcast deal concludes at the end of 2017 and replaced by age-based competitions aligned with NSW and Queensland Cup teams.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The ARLC has conducted extensive research on the current pathways to the elite level and there is a belief the NYC isn’t serving as the best possible transition from elite junior to first grader.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It’s understood the new state-based competitions would feature under-18s and under-20s age groups, which would then feed talent through to the current open-age NSW and Queensland Cup competitions.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The plan is for the champion team from each state to play off on grand final day, as will be the case when the VB Cup and Intrust Super Cup winners will for the first time in October.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“That is certainly something we’ll look at as part of the next broadcast rights agreement,” an NRL spokesperson said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of the problems plaguing the current NYC tournament is the exorbitant running costs.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This round alone, six U20s teams – the Bulldogs, Tigers, Roosters, Eels, Raiders and Storm – will travel interstate, while the Sharks head across the Tasman to take on the Warriors.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The travel and accommodation costs are a huge impost to clubs, many which are already struggling financially.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Under the new system, there will be huge savings almost all games will be played along state lines.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The overhaul will also address concerns that many talented youngsters were leaving the game if they didn’t transition straight from NYC to the NRL.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Another concern about the current system is that the best young players aren’t on show in the under-20s anyways, as those poised to get a call up to first grade were being blooded against seasoned players in the NSW Cup to prepare them for the rigours of the big time.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Even before the NYC was introduced, there were concerns that it wouldn’t serve its purpose.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Back in 2007, Des Hasler predicted it would be a “glorified SG Ball competition”, with fellow coaches Wayne Bennett, Neil Henry and Ivan Cleary outspoken about their preference for blooding their gun juniors in the open-age competitions.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Holden’s sponsorship, along with broadcast commitments, mean there can be no changes for another two-and-a-half years.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
However, the ARLC believe the changes will further boost the profile of the state-based competitions while still giving broadcasters an attractive television product.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
NYC initiatives, such as the ‘no work, no study, no play’ edict, are likely to remain to ensure juniors have post-football careers to fall back on.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of the challenges for the League is than not every NRL club has its own NSW or Queensland Cup affiliate. Melbourne and Cronulla, for instance, both provide players for the Sharks’ feeder club side.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
However, that situation could soon change as Cronulla are in negotiations to partner with Newtown from next season.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Jets’ nine-year association with the Roosters will soon come to an end after the premiers opted to link with Wyong to give them a crack at the talent on the Central Coast.</div>

An enormous hand-sculpted rock carving in France nearly six years in the making could be the largest work of Maori art in the Northern Hemisphere, its creator says.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It's at Les Lapidiales in the Port d'Envaux village, part of the Charente Maritime region, about a 90-minute drive north of Bordeaux.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Paora Toi Te Rangiuaia (Ngati Porou) began working on the 10m by 5m sculpture in 2009 after sculptors he met in Switzerland recommended he visit Les Lapidiales - an old limestone quarry that is being used as a sculpture park.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The project, <i style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">De l'Ambime A l'Azur': From the depths of the earth to the Blue Azure</i>, has been split into two-month residencies that have taken place every two years.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The work, which is nearly finished, depicts the Maori goddess of death, Hinenuitepo, a tuatara, and the moko of Tanenuiarangi, who according to Maori belief ascended the heavens to bring knowledge to the Earth.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"This work is in response to the cave's internal sculpture of skeleton and skulls which I viewed in 2007 and reminded me of Maori use of caves for the interment of bones. So the Maori genesis of life and death is portrayed by these images."</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Toi Te Rangiuaia said his work followed that of his great-grandfather Riwai Pakerau, who adopted European and American influences in his kowhaiwhai work on East Coast whare nui.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said the project had deliberately been kept low-profile and people were constantly amazed by the scale of his work and his hand-made approach.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"The sculpture of Tanenuiarangi as a Ta Moko mask will be finished this year but it is my hope that when we return in 2015 we will have a small ope [group] to carry out the Mauri ceremony and affix the pounamu to this work."</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The sculpture park has featured the work of about 60 artists from 24 countries.<br />

Christchurch risks becoming a "doughnut city" with an empty hole in the middle if more is not done to encourage businesses and residents back into the city centre, a visiting housing consultant says.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Aecom associate director of architecture Michael Bilsborough will speak at the Sustainable Housing Summit in Christchurch on Friday about creative options for developing a more sustainable housing market.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Bilsborough said the biggest challenge Christchurch faced was bringing businesses and residents back into the city centre after they moved to the suburbs and new developments on the city's fringe following Canterbury's earthquakes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"There's a risk that there will be some extended suburban sprawl and we won't be able to achieve this compact city that the [central city recovery] blueprint is aiming for," he said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The suburbs remained attractive for businesses because of cheaper rents and more accessible parking, meaning Christchurch was in danger of becoming a "doughnut city".</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"People need housing now. They're going to go to where that's available now. You could end up with vibrancy on the edge and then this gap in the middle where not much is going on."</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Bilsborough suggested apartment-style living could be an option for Christchurch once residents got over their "reluctance and nervousness" about multi-storey buildings.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Christchurch should have been more proactive about putting in temporary worker accommodation to cater for the thousands of extra workers coming in to join the city's rebuild, putting further pressure on the city's housing stock, he said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Pockets of high-density housing could be the way to cope with the influx of workers and deal with the city's housing crisis.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
"It's a big challenge. There's no quick fixes," Bilsborough said.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The Sustainable Housing Summit will be held at the Christchurch City Council offices on Friday.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
It will showcase ideas to make the residential housing market more sustainable economically and socially.</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Council housing committee chairman Cr Glenn Livingstone will give the seminar's opening address, while CoDesign Studio chief executive Lucinda Hartley will deliver a keynote address about planning for uncertainty.</div>
