The Hurricanes want their next Super Rugby Pacific game against the Chiefs to be pushed back to Sunday to give them more time to prepare after Covid-19 swept through the squad last week.
The Hurricanes are scheduled to return to action against the Chiefs at Sky Stadium in Wellington on Saturday night after their previous game against Moana Pasifika was postponed.
Assistant coach Chris Gibbes said the Hurricanes were in discussions with New Zealand Rugby about swapping timeslots with the Crusaders-Blues game, which is scheduled to be played on Sunday afternoon.

@stargazer fair play for switching the schedules. Wouldn't be fair giving the Hurricanes only two days to prepare.

I haven't watched the non-Blues games that closely but it seems like there is more counter rucking turnovers this year? Forwards staying on their feet and actually pushing past the ball
Defence putting more numbers in? Or attacking sides not protecting the ball as well?

this kind of thing has to be a good sign, a close loss and showing some real gusto

So play two games at the same time and we each watch what we want?
The schedules are set so games from Aust follow games from NZ on a Friday and Saturday.

@kiwiwomble They have improved very quickly.
Now they need to move on from Baden Kerr. Watching him is actually sad at this point.

They were scraping the barrel signing him. I honestly thought he was going to retire or play NPC only as he was setting himself up in Real Estate in the Pukekohe region, next minute I read he is off to OZ . Not a fullback either.
