'That’s crazy': Superstock teams racer Rebecca Barr on smashing glass ceilings and the opposition

Barr is the first female driver to be selected and race for a team at ENZED SuperStock Teams Champs. She will race in 2022. Barr was awarded the Spike Richardson Memorial Trophy in her first appearance. The 25-year-old is not a member of the Palmerston North Panthers. She would like to see other female drivers step up into the teams champs and the Panthers team. It is her end goal. Her father Graeme is a four-time national superstock championship placegetter. He is into racing now. In the sport, drivers play for keeps.

Wellington Wildcats will take on Manawatū Mustangs in Saturday night's qualifying draw.

NPC talking points: Calls for boutique venues to become the norm

What a difference it makes when these provincial fixtures aren't played in vast and empty stadiums, as was the case when Canterbury played Taranaki in Rangiora, just north of Christchurch, this month. Some 6500 fans turned up, creating an atmosphere players raved about, and one you certainly didn't get when Canterbury played Auckland at a…

NPC talking points: Can anybody tame the rampant Wellington Lions?

It sure doesn't look like more than a few teams are capable of doing so. And two of those teams - Canterbury and Tasman - had golden chances to do so but couldn't finish the job. The reigning champions and Ranfurly Shield holders have notched a team-record 18 straight wins, six of them this season. That leaves the Tamati Ellison-coached side atop…

Rugby World Cup: Will Shaun Stevenson replace injured All Black Emoni Narawa?

Shaun Stevenson, who inspired North Harbour to their second victory of the season of Wednesday night, could be considered as a replacement for injured All Blacks wing Emoni Narawa at the Rugby World Cup in France.

NPC talking points: Reigning champions Wellington riding the storm

The Lions have defended the Ranfurly Shield twice in the space of five days, leaving one final challenge - a return to Christchurch for a rematch of last year's NPC final on Sunday afternoon. Should the weary reigning champions repeat their 26-18 win last October, when they won their first championship since 2000, it will be some statement by the…

Super Rugby match a treat for locals as sun shines on Arena

OPINION: When referee Paul Williams blew an instant halt to play on the 72nd minute of the Hurricanes match last Sunday, it was Manawatū's luck that it would be one of their own. Sure enough, the Turbos' prime playmaker Brett Cameron had gone down with the medial collateral ligament in his left knee torn. The good news, no surgery required,…

The Mako have not missed the finals for four years but that proud record could be under threat as they contend with some key injuries and a high number of missing All Blacks, and not even the return of Sevu Reece and Leicester Fainga'anuku could stop them falling to North Harbour on Saturday.
