All 13 teams are set to start this weekend's SailGP regatta in Auckland, where some tough weather conditions should at least guarantee exciting racing ... assuming it doesn't get too ferocious on the Waitemata

The New Zealand team were forced out of the opening leg in Perth after a collision but will be on the start line, after some frantic repairs in the sheds.

Spain, too, will return, after also suffering damage in Western Australia.



The wet weather around the country's forced two no-results in round nine of cricket's Ford Trophy, with only the fixture in Christchurch seeing a result ... Canterbury thrashing Wellington by eight wickets.



The Central Pulse have named Ameliaranne Ekenasio and Parris Mason as co-captains for the ANZ Premiership netball season.
