The two games every weekend are likely to be played on Saturday night and late Sunday afternoon. With no crowds allowed, kick-off times will be decided by the broadcaster.
Sunday afternoon is attractive to broadcaster Sky as most people are at home and there are few distractions. Games in Australia have kicked off late on Sunday before and rated well.https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12330144

I will be interested to see what plans are in place for the charter flights as the away team will be disadvantaged if they go directly from the airport to the stadium as stated. There will be more flexibility with arrival times so you would hope they arrive at a similar time relative to kick-off for the preparation.

Quite interesting that the stadiums in Auckland and Christchurch haven't been named. Does that mean they're considering other stadiums than Eden Park and Orangetheory Stadium?
Costs still being worked out according to the news.
Albany might be cheaper to open than Eden Park.

Albany makes sense. It's always a nice surface. I don't know where else you would play in Christchurch though.

Rugby park is the only other serious option. If there are no crowds, it's probably cheaper.
