Maze Runner
The Main Cast Members In the movie are-
Dylan O’Brien- Thomas
Ki Hong Lee- Minho
Blake Cooper- Chuck
Thomas Brodie Sangster- Newt
Kaya Scodelario- Teresa
Will Poulter- Gally
Dexter Darden- Fry Pan
My favourite scene in the movie is how they try and find a way out the maze. They were blocked by huge concrete walls. My favourite scene is when there was big scary creatures that went and attacked them. All tents had been broken down and some people had been killed by them. There were more and more coming from inside the walls. When it got dark they lighted up candles and torches. So the five of them were brave and decided to go in. The wall was about to close but they just made it. Some of them did not make it through the maze.The movie was interesting.

Duco confirm Joseph Parker vs Andy Ruiz fight for Auckland
Promoters Duco have confirmed that the Joseph Parker vs Andy Ruiz Jr bout will take place at Vector Arena in Auckland on December 10. As they confirmed the price of hosting the event would sit around the $4 million mark but that, despite the sponsor backing, the total cost was yet to be accounted for. However, they're more than willing to take the risk that the excess will be covered by pay-per-view buys.The WBO sanctioned the fight on October 21, allowing the No.1 ranked Parker and the No.3 ranked Ruiz to contest the belt vacated by troubled champion Tyson Fury.

All Blacks accept 'deserved' loss to Ireland
All Blacks senior players would be forgiven for forgetting the art of losing gracefully. Yet Steve Hansen's men showed no signs of sour grapes on Saturday after their 40-29 loss to Ireland. The world champions were well below their best on neutral territory in Chicago, behind by 22 points by the 50th minute and conceding 40 points for the first time in 12 years. Fullback Ben Smith, who nabbed a second-half try, said after the match that his side could do no more than congratulate their foes on a job well done.
