North vs South rugby match

Further delay on future of North v South rugby match

The match was initially scheduled for this Saturday at Eden Park but New Zealand Rugby (NZR)pushed the date back by a week to 5 September due to Auckland being at Alert Level 3.

NZR initially said it would make a decision about the game on Monday but then delayed that until Tuesday.

It's now saying it will be another 24 hours before a decision is announced.

The government announced on Monday that Auckland would remain at Alert Level 3 until 11.59pm Sunday 30 August, before moving to Level 2 for at least a week.
