Kia ora koutou,
No doubt you’re all aware of the Prime Minister’s announcement this evening that we’re going to Alert Level 2 from tomorrow for the next three days.
While we are hopeful of a return back to Level 1 by the weekend, we obviously need to prepare for the possibility that some or all of the country will be under heightened alert levels.
The good news is that we have prepared comprehensive community rugby Return To Play protocols for Level 2, which we can swiftly implement.
Rugby training and games are permitted under Alert Level 2 only if good contact tracing and hygiene measures for participants, equipment, and facilities are in place.
We will be engaging all clubs and schools currently involved in rugby tomorrow and making a decision about upcoming trainings and fixtures. We will let you all know what is going on once we have made a decision.

Please look after yourselves and your whanau.
Nga mihi,
Josh Willoughby
Chief Executive
