Who out of you lot is volunteering to record all the details of the attendees at these rugby games?
The crowd limitations will be due to the problems associated with contact tracing a large number of people, and that appears to be fairly standard around the world for mass gatherings.

Nor sure I understand this. There will be loads of people keen to work at these games, and I'm sure all of them would happily record whatever details we asked of them. I would absolutely "volunteer" for this
Re "contact tracing a large number of people", I come back again to the risk assessment. Has it actually been done? Is a stadium designed for 25k then allowed to hold [5]k in separate pods, actually at risk of a large breakout?
And even then, I understand that NZ Is now capable of contact tracing a few hundred people per day - new cases per day that is. Have we really decided that a stadium at 20% capacity is going to breach this somehow?
Again, maybe this work has been done, but I have seen zero evidence of it. If Eden Park can provide a case for holding 3k ppl, and Westpac Stadium a case for 6k ppl, then I see no reason not to assess those cases on a case-by-case basis, and go from there.

I didn't think they would use a Sunday afternoon slot as that isn't really prime time TV viewing.
Also they need to co-ordinate with charter flights to and from the cities.
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

JUNE??!! Fucking June??!!! That's a month away. Jesus fuck!

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.

That Blues vs. Hurricanes should be a blinder, but the teams will probably be pretty rusty ...
@Tim that Coles niggle on Beaudy will be something else.

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.
