There have been some great tries scored by Whanganui representative teams over the years but missing from the local rugby scene this season is 31-year-old Samu Macedru Kubunavanua who received national recognition back in 2015 for his amazing try for the union.
The Ngamatapouri winger, who is side-lined this year after a major shoulder operation, scored the most thrilling of his 19 Heartland tries when the Steelform Butcher Boys beat top qualifiers South Canterbury 28-11 in the 2015 Meads Cup final in Timaru.

NORMAN, Oklahoma -
The University of Oklahoma is hosting a symposium reflecting on the 100 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre.
The theme of the three-day symposium is Reflecting on the Past, Facing the Future, and it is part of OU’s yearlong educational initiative about the massacre.
Events started Thursday and included both in-person and virtual participants.
One of Thursday’s events focused on art and literature based on the massacre. Artists and a poet shared some of their work and took questions from the audience.
Author Karlos Hill said during the opening ceremony that the symposium will be about more than the horrific details of May 31st and June 1st, 1921.

In 1958, Clara Luper and a dozen students sat at the lunch counter of an Oklahoma City drugstore and changed history. Decades later, an OU department named in her honor is fighting to gain recognition for the Civil Rights hero who has been overlooked by the nation.
This is the second installation of a three-part OU Daily series exploring the stories of prominent black women in OU history.

Lessie Benningfield Randle was just 6 when she watched her home town go up in flames. Now at 106, her testimony may make way for reparations to be paid.
On May 31, 1921, an angry mob of white Tulsans stormed the prosperous Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After the massacre, the people of Greenwood rebuilt the town without any financial assistance from the City of Tulsa.
Randle, known as âMother Randleâ to the Justice for Greenwood Foundation â a group that advocates for reparations to be paid to the massacre survivors and descendants â stated in the February lawsuit that the events of the massacre have caused her to experience âemotional and physical distress that continues to this day.â The lawsuit also states that Tulsa government officials are âenriching themselves by promoting the site of the massacre as a tourist attraction.â
