Mark Goldsmith: MSD Regional Commissioner on job fair at Mt Smart stadium

The All Blacks are preparing for the third test in Rugby's Greatest Rivalry. 

South Africa levelled the series in Cape Town, making this match effectively the decider, even though there is a fourth test in Baltimore. 

They're clashing at FNB Stadium in Soweto – the match kicking off at 3.10am Sunday.  

Former All Blacks Captain Sean Fitzpatrick told Ryan Bridge that the team is finishing well, so they're doing something right. 

He says they just need to get the crucial moments in the first 20 to 25 minutes right.

The property market's remaining subdued with a suggestion it'll be a while until there's real growth in prices. 

Cotality data shows values on average fell by 0.4% over August, marking the fifth declining month in a row. 

It notes global geopolitical tensions, the OCR lifting, and the upcoming general election is contributing to market uncertainty. 

Real Estate Agent Rawdon Christie told Ryan Bridge the high amount of homes for sale is also probably supressing potential price increases. 

But he says they saw a pretty healthy August, as vendors are meeting the settled market where it's at.
