Blues coach Leon MacDonald insists it will be business as usual when Super Rugby Aotearoa starts next month.

World Rugby's medical group has proposed banning reset scrums, upright tackling, team huddles and spitting to reduce the transmission risk of Covid-19.

MacDonald says it's the first he's heard of it.

Kiwi golfer Tim Wilkinson is confident it will be safe for him to resume playing on the PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour in the US next month.

Wilkinson expects to get into the fourth tournament back on the PGA Tour in Detroit in early July, after playing back to back secondary tour events in Florida.

Domestic cricket veteran Stephen Murdoch has announced his retirement after a 12-year professional career.
