NPC Covid interruption

Has anyone seen confirmation that the fixtures next weekend will be played as per the original draw? So a restart for 18 September means the Round 7 games are played and the mighty Bay play for the Real Bay Title on the Sunday? Oh and for the Ranfurly Shield.

@kiwipie NZR did say they will announce the schedule next week but 3 fixtures would need to be changed, and Otago and Southland have already played eachother. As you say, do they just keep the draw as is, and make up the other games later or completely change it.
Waikato has missed out on a RS challenge and could be facing Mo'unga as a consolation.

@kiwipie They had some footage on the news the other night of THE BAY training with a quick interview with our coach. It was a bit ambiguous but there was a reference to The Shield game. Not exactly sure what can be read into it but fingers crossed !!

Draw released for week 3 .

@yeetyaah Always going to happen as it is less disruptive than pushing all of the games back 4 weeks. This is week 7 of the old draw minus the games involving NH, Auckland and CM. The order of the games have changed though.
Now we wait to see if we go down to L1, otherwise there will be a restricted capacity (yes, even for the NPC).

@yeetyaah said in NPC Covid interruption:
@bovidae argggh fuck that's annoying, Waikato actually had a chance to take the Shield.
Other than being on the same field at the same time that chance would only have existed until Hawkes Bay got off nil. Even then a nil nil draw is still a successful defense.
