Blues v Crusaders

[canefan]

No doubt the game is cancelled at worst, postponed at best

[Nevorian]

So we won’t get to see Cameron start - bugger

[pukunui]

I can’t remember the rules for level 2 exactly but is the other game likely to have no crowd allowed in now?
Surely not much chance of going back to level 1 by Saturday.

Chch really desperate to ensure Mo'unga can start?

@KiwiMurph said in Blues v Crusaders:

Wouldn't be surprised if the game gets called off entirely.

Because of 4 cases? Playing behind closed doors or a postponment more likely.

[Hooroo]

All I can say is that I am glad we already have a winner of the comp, otherwise it will be months of "What could have been" from Auckland fans.

This game won't be going ahead surely as Auckland aren't even allowed to train leading up to the game (if the radio news report was correct)

[Stargazer]

@sparky Postponement until when? North v South is already on 29 August. Even that game might be in doubt. Not sure if they can still move it to Wellington. And Mitre 10 Cup starts on 11 September.

The children are having too much fun. It's a sell out

Why Blues-Crusaders should be played behind closed doors

OPINION: Sorry to 43,236 rugby fans, but if Sunday's Blues-Crusaders game can go ahead it would be safer to play behind closed doors.

Fly the Saders and Blues to Forsyth Barr for a Saturday night double header or....send em to Westpac Stadium and make the tix cheap as chips (or free...)

[Bovidae]

The Blues can't train at L3. Easy game anyway eh?

[Jailbreak7]

Blloody hell you guys should be over here in the UK. We've had soccer players galore breaking lockdown/quarantine bubble rules galore - yet still the matches go ahead

The Blues have said Sunday's Super Rugby Aotearoa match against the Crusaders at Eden Park will only take place if Auckland shifts to Covid-19 alert level 1 or 2.

Not very likely and not a surprise.

[taniwharugby]

and under L2 arent there limitation on crowd numbers?

Blues will go to any length to avoid another loss

Cindy is from Hamilton, so just punishing everyone for the Chiefs.

Morrinsville

"Born: 26 July 1980 (age 40 years), Hamilton"

Hamilton hospital maybe? Raised Morrinsville?
Either way she is shutting down rugby because the Chiefs are shit and we all have to suffer (and my point therefore stands).
