    Pending a monumental alert level change, New Zealand Rugby's readying the provincial game for extended time on the sidelines


    The NPC, Farah Palmer Cup and Heartland Championship have all been called off for this weekend along with other community rugby due to lockdown restrictions.

    Even if the current Covid situation improves to necessitate an alert level drop, it must go to level two for play to continue.

    Here's NZR general manager of community rugby Steve Lancaster.
