Chiefs vs Blues
Any info on this preseason game?
Only that it won't be in Te Puke.
I think that all teams will want to play a second preseason game to involve their ABs, and quotes from the likes of MacDonald seem to suggest they will be organising one.

Wallabies Tate McDermott and Hunter Paisami are the latest Covid-19 casualties at the Queensland Reds and will be forced to miss Saturday’s final warm-up match.
Instead of heading to Roma to face the New South Wales Waratahs, the duo will stay at home in Brisbane while team-mates fine-tune for the kick-off to Super Rugby Pacific.
Losing the two players comes on top of James O’Connor, Jock Campbell and Jordan Petaia all missing last Saturday’s 42-33 warm-up loss to the Western Force with the virus. -
@dan54 To be fair, maybe you actually can just pull your coach up to the steps and roll on in. But I would assume there are some CAA rules and processes that still apply given you're using a public hub and sharing the sky with other aircraft. And there would certainly be some shagging about with kit.

Very difficult game for the Canes in our first one... just hope we can match the Crusaders in the scrums, otherwise it's going to be bloody hard yakka.

This would suck
Australian and New Zealand rugby officials are mulling a rule change to allow Super Rugby games to start with uncontested scrums in the event of a Covid-19 outbreak this season. .... Safety considerations mean props will undergo extra training and monitoring to make sure they are up to Super Rugby standard, but officials may also ask World Rugby to allow games to start with uncontested scrums in the event a team cannot field enough props to contest the set piece.

My front row would be a mobile hooker and two extra loose forwards.

I am assuming that the second round of preseason games will still take place in Queenstown?
That would be:
Chiefs vs Blues
MP vs Highlanders
Hurricanes vs CrusadersHas there been any news about these games?
Before the Queenstown move these were scheduled to take place on Friday.
