    New All Blacks loose forward Simon Parker's determined not to let his impending debut gnaw away at him ahead of Sunday morning


    And to not play the game BEFORE it kicks off.

    The Chiefs and Northland product's got the nod at number eight for the Rugby Championship rematch with Argentina in Buenos Aires.

    Wallace Sititi returns from injury off the bench.



    Kiwi tennis fans hoping to watch this year's US Open on Sky TV are out of luck.

    The local broadcaster won't be serving up coverage of the New York grand slam on either of its ESPN channels - even though the US network has the New Zealand broadcast rights to the tournament.

    Those who want to see the US Open will instead have to subscribe to Disney to see its ESPN feeds.
