Meet the teammate who never made it to The Block!

They might not always plan ahead, follow the brief or even finish their paint jobs, but don’t accuse lovable larrikins Levi and Zach Inglis – aka Ling and Zing – of not taking The Block NZ seriously.

While their laid-back attitudes might fool some, the cheeky Christchurch siblings are determined to win big this season so they can spoil their big brother Sam’s yet-to-be-born baby.

“When our nephew’s born, we’re going to make sure he’s as skux as his uncles,” smiles ceiling installer Ling, 22. “Hopefully, we make enough cash to buy the little guy a sick collection of new kicks.”

But when the three boisterous brothers catch up with Woman’s Day in Auckland, just weeks before Sam and his wife Brearna’s son is due, talk of babies quickly turns to beer and where the blokes can down a jug after our exclusive shoot.

“It’s way too quiet in Christchurch without the lads,” smiles plumber Sam, 27, who goes by the name of Sol. “I thought I’d enjoy being the favourite son, but I miss our banter down at the local pub.”
