Bushrangers take the lead

The Australian Bushrangers have taken the lead in the Australia – New Zealand test match today. Scores were 24-12 in the men, and 22-14 in the women. Chris Forne and Tania Robinson were the leading Kiwis (both placing 4th), but their efforts were overshadowed by Grace Elson and Julian Dent who picked up maximum points.

In the Australian WOC Trials, Jo Allison narrowly won the women’s race, with other standout performers being Grace Elson (2nd) and Kathryn Ewels (3rd) – both of whom are fighting for a place in the team.  The men’s race contained few surprises, with Grant Bluett winning by a minute from Julian Dent and David Shepherd.
