Interesting TV One video in this rugby article. I'm not smart enough to work out how to embed the video on it's own.

"A tailored solution with Sport NZ". NZ Rugby, Nix & Breakers all keen to make it happen.
Lets really hope a workable solution can be found, to get the Nix back to NZ before 30th April. Both NZ & Aus will be over 90% double vaccinated eligible popns come January. Maybe maybe even touching 95%. Vaccinating of NZ 5-11 yr olds to begin. Good signs that Covid situation in NSW has improved immeasurably. FYI - NSW hit 90% eligible double vaccinated way back on 8th Nov. ACT even earlier 27th Oct. The vaccines bloody work!
Is the overall Covid situation between the 2 countries, really going to change/improve that much between say late January and 30th April? Unlikely.
Make it mandatory the Aussie teams use NZ Covid tracing App whilst in NZ.
Some live sport held safely will lift people's mental health. Fingers crossed.
Edit - 97.9% of people in the ACT aged 12 and over, are now fully vaccinated. That is impressive!
