Three camping tips from an expert David Scotland owns camping equipment retailer Outdoor World Direct and knows all about how to make a camping trip run smoothly. When visiting any campsite this summer it's important to make sure you're not making simple mistakes that could ruin your holiday. Check your tent David recommends putting your tent up a couple of weeks before you're due to travel to give you enough time to repair or replace any damaged parts. He told Sun Online Travel: 'You'd be surprised how many people turn up with broken tents." Test the ground Picking a good spot to pitch your tent is difficult, with lots of things to consider. One of those should be the condition of the ground you're putting your tent on top of, according to David. He said: 'Once you've found the perfect spot, test the ground with your pegs before you commit to camping there to make sure the ground is soft enough." Don't nap in your tent It may seem the perfect place for it, but a nap in a tent could end badly, if it's done at the wrong time of the day. David explained: "If the sun's shining and it's hot inside your tent - don't do it! "One of our friends nodded off in his tent during a heatwave at Glastonbury and ended up at the medical tent with heatstroke." Instead, he recommends finding some shade outside or somewhere well ventilated. 4 There are blow-up mattresses for the glampers Credit: Facebook/@Kerry Chubb 4 Inflatable chairs are just £12 Credit: Facebook/@Kerry Chubb

Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 15 - Bill Bunting (1970-71)
Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 15 - Bill Bunting (1970-71) The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans". Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today. To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 17th of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 15 which has has had a total of 14 players wear the number in the history of the team. The first of those players wearing No. 16 played in the (then) New York (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, forward alum Bill Bunting. After ending his college career at UNC, Bunting was picked up with the 26th overall selection of the 1969 NBA draft by the New York Knicks. The New Bern, North Carolina native would play the first # seasons of his pro career with the ABA's (defunct) Carolina Cougars instead. That ended with a trade to New York in 1970, his stay with the team spanning just 39 games of one season before he was dealt to the (also defunct) Virginia Squires. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Bunting wore only jersey Nos. 15 and 3, and put up 4.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Black Ferns v USA live updates, Pacific Four Series test
Live updates of the Pacific Four Series test between the Black Ferns and USA at Albany Stadium. Match preview After a successful season on the sevens circuit, Jorja Miller and Risaleaana Pouri-Lane have been given their chance to shine in the 15-a-side code. The pair will make their debuts for the Black Ferns against the United States at North Harbour Stadium on Saturday, looking to further stake their claims to be in the World Cup squad. 'I think we're right where we need to be,' Black Ferns director of performance Allan Bunting said of his side's World Cup preparations. 'We've got a competitive group of ladies and, for me looking forward, selection is going to be hard and that's right where we need to be.' Bunting said the players transitioning from the sevens programme had been doing plenty of homework ahead of a test that could see them crowned Pacific Four series champions. Miller starting at openside flanker and Pouri-Lane at halfback are among eight changes to the run-on XV from the side who drew with Canada last weekend. Tighthead prop Veisinia Mahutariki-Fakalelu also comes into the starting XV for her debut, while hooker Vici-Rose Green is in line for her debut from the bench. Last week's result has left the Pacific Four title on the line this weekend; a bonus-point win is likely to be enough for the Black Ferns to reclaim the title, as they go into the round with a points differential of 14 better than Canada's. 'That will matter, but if we get our stuff right, that's us,' Bunting said of the test between Canada and Australia. 'We've been focused on us, and there are a few things that we needed to work on from last week, and that's the important thing for us.' Fellow Black Ferns Sevens players Theresa Setefano and Stacey Waaka will also get their first 15-a-side starts this season, named at second five-eighths and centre respectively. It's the same midfield combination that was so effective in the World Cup in 2022. Other changes in the squad see Kate Henwood start at loosehead prop and Kaipo Olsen-Baker at No 8, which sees Liana Mikaele-Tu'u move to blindside flanker. In the backline, Katelyn Vahaakolo starts on the left wing in place of Ayesha Leti-I'iga. On the bench, prop Awhina Tangen-Wainohu and lock Chelsea Bremner are also new inclusions to the match-day squad. Bremner initially missed selection for the Pacific Four squad, but gets an opportunity after a training injury ruled Dhys Faleafaga out for the season. 'We were consistent with our selection over the last couple of games and that was important,' Bunting said. 'Obviously, our ladies that have been playing sevens for a while, they haven't played 15s for a while, so we want to get them playing. That's the main reason why they're playing this week.'
