Christ's College v CBHS: Historic rivalry still going strong after 133 years
CBHS centre William Brown heads for the try line. PHOTO: THOMAS BIRD No schoolboy rugby rivalry in Canterbury compares to the storied clash between Christchurch Boys' High School and Christ's College. The two schools first met on the rugby field in 1892. On Tuesday, they will face off for the 140th time in round four of the Miles Toyota Premiership (1pm). Boys' High has historically dominated with 87 wins to Christ's College's 43. Nine matches have ended in a draw. 'For our lads, it's one of those games they look forward to from when they start school in year 9 and 10,' said Christ's College head coach Sam Broomhall. 'For some of them it might be the biggest game they play in their rugby careers.' This year's match will be played at Christ's College for the first time since 2020 after resurfacing work was completed on its upper field. Broomhall said he expected a typically buoyant crowd. 'The atmosphere and the environment that this game creates is quite unique and special. 'It's an amazing job they did with the field there and the facilities. 'It's a bit of a cauldron, a real sort of coliseum arena in there, so it's a great place to play and watch a game of rugby.' Christ's College has had a slow start to the season, managing just one win from three outings – a 38-37 thriller against Rangiora High – bookended by close losses to St Thomas' and Selwyn Schools. In contrast, Boys' High is unbeaten and riding the high of knocking over defending champions Nelson College 58-31 on Saturday, a win that also saw them claim the Trust Bank Cup. 'We're really looking forward to it,' said Boys' High head coach Pete Chaplin on Tuesday's match. 'It means a lot. It's a big day for both schools and their communities.' Chaplin said with all the hype and attention on the game he would need to keep his charges focused on the task at hand. 'We're just going out and playing another game of rugby, doing the little things right. 'It's a good challenge for young sportsmen to be in an environment that has added pressure they might not get on a normal weekend game.' Round four's other matches see Nelson College and Marlborough Boys' College face off this afternoon, with St Andrew's playing Selwyn Schools tomorrow night. St Bede's hosts St Thomas on Saturday and Rangiora High visits Shirley Boys' on Monday. Miles Toyota Premiership points Marlborough BC 15; CBHS 15; Nelson 11; St Thomas 11; St Bede's 11; Christ's 9; Selwyn 9; Rangiora 2; St Andrew's 1; Shirley BHS 1 School v College past matches 2024 SF: CBHS 24 Christ's 15 2024: CBHS 34 Christ's 25 2023: CBHS 37 Christ's 3 2022: CBHS 47 Christ's 33 2021: Christ's 35 CBHS 34

Tackling tariffs: What some companies are saying, and doing, about tariffs
Companies from a wide range of industries are having trouble assessing the impact of tariffs because of the constant uncertainty over whether and where the taxes will be imposed next or postponed, sometimes on a daily or weekly basis. Some tariffs remain in place against key U.S. trading partners, but others have been postponed to give nations time to negotiate. As a result companies have been giving somewhat shaky financial forecasts during their latest round of earnings updates. Here's how several big companies are dealing with the tariff confusion: Kimberly-Clark The Irving, Texas, company makes Huggies, Kleenex and other personal care and household staples. It expects tariffs to add $300 million of costs and has warned about flat earnings for the year. 'The current environment will now mean greater costs across our global supply chain versus our expectations at the beginning of the year,' said CEO Michael Hsu, in a statement Tuesday following the company's latest earnings results. Roughly 20% of Kimberly-Clark's U.S. costs are exposed to tariffs. The bulk of its estimated $300 million cost impact is being driven by U.S. tariffs against China. The company is working to shift some of its supply chain to mitigate the costs. 3M William Brown, CEO of 3M Co., the maker of adhesives, coatings, Scotch Tape and Post-it notes, acknowledged that 'tariffs are going to be a headwind this year.' The company stuck to a full-year forecast for profit of $7.60 to $7.90 per share, excluding the impact of tariffs. But 3M did include a slide in its presentation for analysts with a 'tariff impact sensitivity,' that it said could lower earnings by 20 cents to 40 cents per share, after factoring in measures that will somewhat reduce the hit from tariffs. Those steps could include cost cuts and 'selective price increases where feasible.' Brown also said during a conference call that the company is looking at alternative production sites with different countries of origin to try and minimize the tariff impact. RTX Most of the RTX's industrial base and supply chain is located inside the U.S., but tariffs are still poised to hurt the defense company behind missile and radar systems. RTX expects up to $800 million in cost impacts from tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico, China and other nations. It hasn't included the potential impact in its earnings forecast. 'Generally speaking, the aerospace and defense sector has operated in a duty-free environment,' said President Christopher Calio, in a conference call with analysts. 'And that has been instrumental to the industry maintaining one of the largest trade surpluses across American manufacturing industries for decades.' GE Aerospace The maker of jet engines and aviation systems is also accustomed to low trade barriers within the aviation sector. The company now expects tariff costs of roughly $500 million after hopefully mitigating some of the impact through programs and strategies, such as expanding foreign trade zones. 'We'll continue to advocate for an approach that reestablishes zero-for-zero tariffs in the aviation sector and ensures a level playing field for the U.S. aerospace industry,' said CEO H. Lawrence Culp Jr., in a conference call with analysts. 'In the meantime, heightened tariffs will result in additional costs for us and our supply chain.' Flexsteel Industries The furniture company could see much more damage from a mix of tariffs and a downturn in consumer spending. Flexsteel has moved out of China, but Vietnam supports about 55% of its revenue, while operations in Mexico support almost 40% of sales, the company said. If the 46% reciprocal tariff rate on Vietnam, which is currently delayed, goes into effect, 'it will have wide-reaching implications both on Flexsteel's business and the overall U.S. furniture industry,' said President and CEO Derek Schmidt, in a conference call with analysts. Those wide-ranging impacts could include a weaker U.S. economy brought on by stunted consumer spending. The company expects sales between $109 million and $116 million during its current quarter, but that could change depending on shifts in tariffs and consumer demand.
