He also represented Canterbury and Counties at provincial level. Hill spent his working life in the New Zealand Army and served in the J Force in Japan in 1948-49. After retiring as a player, Hill was a selector for New Zealand Army, Canterbury and the All Blacks. Hill was regarded as one of the toughest players of his era and was famously dropped for the second test against the Spring- boks in 1956 for being “too phys- ical” against the South African forwards when playing for Can- terbury. “One of the props jumped in the lineout and he punched me,” The Mid Canterbury contingent from the inter-regional cross-country race in Hanmer Springs last week.

Cryptic crossword Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): When you measure your work against a standard that means something to you, it doesn’t matter if you please people, get good reviews, sales or a high dollar amount... what matters is that you meet your standard. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You assign meaning to even the smallest universal signs and you’re not about to let big moments go by without being present to their purpose. It could take a while to sort out though, so don’t rush to answers. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Here comes a parade of short- term temptations you’re expected to forego in favour of long-term goals that you’re not even sure will gratify you half as much. Get out of temptation’s way. The day gets easier. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The brain is a high-energy organ fuelled by a steady supply of blood sugar. That’s not its only energy source.
