New Zealand keeps on surprising the world and after 10 straight days of no new coronavirus cases, they are looking at moving to lockdown level one on June 10.
What that means for the people of the Land of the Long White Cloud is that Super Rugby Aotearoa might see fans in the stands when the Highlanders kick off proceedings against the Chiefs on June 13.
Alert level one permits gatherings of more than 500 people and Hurricanes assistant coach Cory Jane couldn’t be happier.
Jane says: ““I know when I used to play, having a crowd packed out in Wellington was unreal and hearing them scream, so ideally we’d love to get a crowd back...”
The tournament will be shown live on SuperSport.
