WELLINGTON: New Zealand's much-anticipated North v South Island rugby match was delayed on Friday after health authorities refused to let players travel from locked-down Auckland.
"We're disappointed that the game can't go ahead at this stage next week, but we understand and respect the government's decision," New Zealand Rugby head of professional rugby Chris Lendrum said. Auckland is currently in lockdown as New Zealand's largest city attempts to contain a second wave of infections that ended a streak of 102 days without community transmission nationwide.Restrictions are due to be eased next week, and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said there are encouraging signs the cluster of cases is under control.
