Letter: Rachel Hunter a poor choice for the Halbergs Letter: Union Jack would be irrelevant Letter: Treaty settlements are never simple Letter: Long-time Labour man is unimpressed Letter: Greens should foot the bill Letter: The deaf get a very poor deal Letter: Snake-oil salesmen in disguise Letter: Technology no substitute for contact with a human being Letter: One in six Kiwis is disabled - Stats NZ Letter: A small point about geography

OPINION: Surely there must be some mistake?

When I heard there was to be a sculpture erected for the Rugby World Cup, I expected an expression of the creative flair Wellington aspires to and that rugby can deliver.

Instead, we are offered something totally uninspired, literal and prosaic - a man catching a ball. So much for creativity.

Good art keeps asking questions, keeps challenging. The only challenge this design poses is how to avoid it.
