Kaiwaka Stormforce sets the farm standard

Scott Barrett knows what it means to push through tough conditions. 'Stormforce isn't just waterproof—it's workproof. That's the difference. 'Whether it's a test match or a tough day on the land, it's about showing up and staying strong. 'That's what Stormforce is made for.' We didn't sit in a boardroom guessing what you need. We went to the source, asking our global network of farmers the important questions. And then we got to work. 'The best ideas come from those doing it tough, and we're here to deliver,' — Kaiwaka Design Team. 'There were definitely some ideas we hadn't thought about. 'This is why we have a trialist network.' Built for the weather. Refined by you. You asked for gear that doesn't rip. We gave you RipStop fabric, a reinforced grid woven into the outer layer that stops tears in their tracks. Because when you're knee-deep in mud and feeding out, the last thing you need is your jacket waving the white flag. You wanted to stay dry without overheating. We gave you Twin Skin Technology, a dual-layer system that blocks wind and rain on the outside, while pulling moisture away from your skin to keep you dry and comfortable. You needed gear that dries fast and keeps moving with you. We added Mesh & DryCuff Technology for rapid drying, so it's ready to work when you are. You wanted simplicity that works, so we added a magnetic storm flap that keeps water out, no matter what. Tested to the max We punished Kaiwaka Stormforce, and it refused to flinch. SeamFused Technology means no stitching, no weak points, just high-frequency welded seams that are 100% waterproof and built to last. Every feature, every fabric, every finish has been field-tested by the people who need it most. Because when your gear fails, your day gets harder, and that's not an option. Dry. Warm. Unstoppable. Kaiwaka Stormforce isn't just about protection, it's about performance too. It's about staying dry without the bulk, warm without the sweat, and protected without being restricted. This is gear that works as hard as you do. From the 4am starts to shifting fences battling sideways rain, from drenching mobs in the frost and the kinds of days that don't come with a knock-off time. 'Designed by farmers, for farmers is more than a principle—it is our process,' — Kaiwaka Design Team. 'Built on real feedback from real farmers, the new Stormforce reflects the lived experience of those working in some of the toughest conditions in the country. 'Their voices shaped every detail, from the structural enhancements to the smallest finishing touches.' Stormforce Shaped by farmers. Designed to perform. Made to outlast.

Improved All Blacks beat France 43-17 in the 2nd test to seal a series win

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Ardie Savea scored a try and led the All Blacks superbly Saturday to a 43-17 win over France in the second test and an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-test series. Savea took over the captaincy from the injured Scott Barrett and under his leadership the All Blacks produced a more intense and physical performance than in the first test in which they scraped home 31-27. Advertisement The All Blacks dominated through their forwards against a French team that had 10 changes to its starting lineup from the first test and still lacked most of its Six Nations stars. 'This week we talked about our defense and we wanted to bring fire in that area and we did that in most parts of the game,' Savea said. 'I proud of our boys for just sticking with it and doing a good job tonight.' With greater control of possession, New Zealand was able to set a higher tempo than in the first test and play more often in the French half. With quick ball and an ability to dominate the collision area and offload in tackles, New Zealand scored six tries on two. Four of those tries came in the first half and only two in the second in which the All Blacks were less clinical. Advertisement The All Blacks were dangerous around the fringes of breakdowns through Savea and Cam Roigard and unstoppable when they got the ball wide to fullback Will Jordan and winger Rieko Ioane who scored tries. The credit belonged mostly to the forwards who fully atoned for a submissive first test performance. After a penalty to Beauden Barrett, Roigard scored the first try of the match in the 14th minute when he linked with Savea who broke on the blindside. Savea scored in the 23rd minute, pivoting away a lineout drive to touch down while New Zealand was reduced to 14 men with Beauden Barrett in the sin-bin. Advertisement Hooker Codie Taylor scored from another lineout drive in the 23rd minute, then backrower Tupou Vaa'i ended the first half with a try from a superb handling movement which involved Savea, Ioane and center Billy Proctor. France made five changes at the start of the second half and produced better rugby and their first try in the 47th minute through fullback Leo Barre. The All Blacks responded with tries to Jordan in the 54th minute and Ioane in the 62nd, again from slick handling. France had the last say when they scored in the 77th minute through Ireland-born lock Joshua Brennan. But New Zealand regained the Dave Gallagher Trophy for the first time in seven years. The third test will be played at Hamilton next weekend. ___ AP rugby: The Associated Press
