Nga mihi nui kia koutou katoa

From Rugby World Cup winner to World Cup reporter. Our cover girl is ex-Black Fern Melodie Robinson who went on to become the world’s first female rugby commentator. Gutsy Mel talks frankly about the flak she’s taken from a nation of rugby-mad blokes on her way to achieving her dream job.Mel also sent us a special report from her French base at the World Cup.

Staying with the World Cup, giveaways in this issue include All Blacks – The Music, the album of Kiwi music tracks chosen by our current All Blacks.

Musician Tiki Taane is making big plans for life after Salmonella Dub including a new solo album featuring his hit single, Tangaroa. Find out what’s behind the changes in Tiki’s life and what’s with all of that body art?

For years we’ve heard about urban migration of Maori from the city to the country. We talk with some young city people who are migrating back to smaller towns and ask them why?

The small town of Nuhaka in northern Hawkes Bay shows us that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To Caleb Hamling growing up in Nuhaka, population 330, nurtured his writer’s imagination and will always have a special place in his heart.

In our business section, Derek Fox writes about a school which is helping Maori business people to get it right first time, rather than learning from mistakes when it’s too late. And we profile two Maori at the top of their fields: Peter Skelton is general manager for Quiksilver, France, UK and Ireland, a surf and leisure clothing company with a NZ$500 million plus turnover. And Maru Nihoniho - a determined woman who’s created a digital game which has been nominated for an international award.

And check out those old stamps and coins. Lois Ions deals in Maori image collectables. Read about the Pukaki coin scandal and find out why she wants more coins and stamps to be returned to Maori ownership.
