All Blacks coach Ian Foster conceded Saturday the July home Tests against Wales and Scotland are likely to be scrapped as borders are locked down in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
The official word from the three countries is that the Tests"are still planned for" but Foster said he cannot see them going ahead.
"We want the players to settle down then we'll start expecting fitness levels to be at a certain point that when the lockdown finishes and we do start to think about a starting point for rugby again." While rugby is on hold, Foster's coaching team and players face pay cuts as New Zealand Rugby looks to trim costs.
