Collins fits in 'like an old campaigner': Wellington's new All Black, Jerry Collins, "is like an old campaigner" and slots in without any fuss, says All Black coach Wayne Smith leading into tonight's test match against Argentina in Christchurch.

Bailout saved On energy - analyst: NGC - the owner of On energy, Wellington's biggest power supplier - might have gone bust if its Australian owner hadn't provided a bailout, a sharemarket analyst says.
