One News has reported that NZR have created plans for their own 10-week competition, which would consist entirely of New Zealand teams, playing their games behind closed doors.
The teams would face each other twice, with two byes, and All Blacks would not be rested, given they would have already had a break due to the Super Rugby suspension.
The new competition – if it comes into being – would reportedly begin when the Highlanders' self-isolation period ends in two weeks.

This isn't gonna happen. Fucken dreamers at NZR. Surely this speculation was circulating prior to all rugby being suspended??
Might happen. If they play the games on Xbox.
My money is on Rieko.

You've got to plan for it and hope the best. That a tight regime of monitored professionals is enough to pass H&S and Govt judgement. Look at the Nix in Oz. They've been given licence to ignore the 14 day self quarantine, so they must have given a brief on how they will mitigate and minimise any transmission. NZR are banking on the same thing, a tight envirnment that will get signed off. Not saying it will, but NZR are not 'fucken dreamers' but trying to acheive the best for rugby. If it can't be done, then that is life. But if it can, they've got to go for it. Worst thing would be for one of the teams to pick up CV19, that would really throw a spanner in the works. Highlanders or saders, most likely I guess.

@Canes4life They won't come to the Blues. Billy would struggle to make the 23, we have Hoskins at 8 and Akira on the bench!:face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

The Chiefs and Crusaders squads, plus their management teams, who travelled to Australia last weekend have been placed in voluntary self-isolation, effective immediately.
Prime minister Jacinda Ardern announced on Wednesday that anyone who has recently returned from overseas travel in the last 14 days, should enter self-isolation in response to COVID-19.
The players and management will be in self-isolation until Sunday.
The Chiefs and Crusaders arrived back in New Zealand before last Sunday's midnight deadline that made it mandatory for all travellers to self-isolate for 14 days.
Edit: I assume the reason for this is that two of the new cases today returned from Australia as far back as March 5 and 8.

@Stargazer that's a standard requirement after playing against the Chiefs.
