I doubt we'll be getting any home games this season, unless they are playoff games. Can't see the restrictions for crowds coming off until end of May,

Will be an interesting decision for NZ Govt.

In Melbourne AFL season will kick off March 16th in front of uncapped crowds. And 70,000-90,000 at the MCG is pretty common for big derby games.

Appreciate they have already gone past their Omicron 'peak' whilst NZ won't hit theirs until late March apparently. But NZ is also in a better position re this Omicron wave with high 3rd dose/booster numbers.

I'd hope for an easing of crowd restrictions by April sometime, but I guess we will have to wait and see. Imagine the next few weeks, re hospitalisations, deaths etc will influence decision making.

You can bet, Super Rugby, Breakers, Warriors and Phoenix will all be chatting to Govt/Sport NZ.
