CAUSE UNKNOWN: A suspicious fire completely destroyed two houses and extensively damaged another two in Wellington last night. Costumes and One person was taken to hospital. Pictures supplied fake weapons spark callouts

TAURANGA — Thousands of film and gaming fans dressed up as their favourite characters for the Armageddon Expo in Tauranga over the weekend — but one costume may have been a little too realistic. On Saturday morning police were called after a fan was seen carrying what turned out to be a model of a “chainsaw gun” inspired by a video game, rather than a real firearm. The Armed Offenders Squad was also sent to Rotorua later that night to a report of a person carrying a gun also found to be a fake — the target was going to a costume party.

The East Coast Farm Vets YMP backline exposed the Enterprise OBM fringes with some highlight-reel-worthy ball running. OBM had a strong start and camped in the YMP 22 for most of the opening 20 minutes. Poor discipline from YMP kept them scrambling to defend the barrage from OBM, who were rewarded with the first try of the game after the fourth lineout from penalties. It was the first of two tries for lock Juston Allen. He had a strong game that featured physicality on both attack and defence, but it was cut short with a rib injury. YMP’s poor discipline then cost them at the other end of the park when they were penalised for rucking after they had worked the ball almost to the line in a powerful build-up. After gifting OBM a reprieve, YMP were able to address the issue and started to see success, with two tries in quick succession. The second was a fantastic 60-metre individual effort from fullback Andrew Tauatevalu, who was given space on the wing after the outnumbered OBM defence rushed up trying to disrupt the play. YMP wing Aaron McLelland had a standout game. He was all over the park, looked dangerous every time he touched the ball, and scored a try on the stroke of halftime. YMP scored again in the first minute of the second half through No.8 Jesse STRONG RUN: YMP loose forward Willis Tamatea, with winger Te Peehi Fairlie in support, takes on OBM halfback Willy Grogan Kapene to take the score to 26-5. in premier rugby on Saturday.
