    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.

    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 Crusaders

    Has there been any news about these games?

    Before the Queenstown move these were scheduled to take place on Friday.

    @duluth I haven't read anything definite since the move. We'll have to wait to see if the teams release team lists today or tomorrow.

    The article about the covid scare also says this:

    All six New Zealand-based Super Rugby teams are scheduled to play pre-season games in Queenstown this Saturday.

    I don't get how we can't get a full pack of all the rugby games streamed through youtube or something. Even the one camera package from last week was fine, and from the viewing figures is seems there is sufficient demand.

    Sky will have to broadcast games live from Wakatipu RC from next weekend so they could have the infrastructure in place for Sat, particularly the OBU. The game at RL Park was moved there at short notice.
