North v South inter-island rugby match gets green light

The match was initially scheduled for this Saturday at Eden Park but NZR pushed the date back by a week due to Auckland being at alert level 3.

New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has now confirmed it will be played at Wellington's Sky Stadium on Saturday week but there will be no spectators as Wellington will still be at alert level two.

NZR's Chris Lendrum said while its disappointing there will be no crowd they were determined the match would go ahead.

"We were always committed to doing this any way we could," Lendrum said.
