The league ended a week of speculation by endorsing the change last 12 13 14 15 night, as well as a new six-again call for ruck infringements instead of penalties. 16 The change in refereeing structure will potentially save the game millions this year alone, but comes despite fierce 17 18 opposition from coaches and players. Many high-profile players and coaches claim it is unfair to change the rules of the game mid-season, and with little time to prepare players for the alterations.

Phase 1, May 14 to 25, Prepare to Train, is about clubs putting things such as contact-tracing requirements in place, and understanding and meeting the checklist points for participants, spectators and supporters. The most striking feature of the checklist is that no more than 10 players can attend any one team training. The Poverty Bay Rugby Football Union’s Ray Noble and Miah Nikora held a Zoom call with 21 local premier and Senior 1 club officials last night to provide guidance and support in these matters. A major announcement will be made by the government on May 25. The dates for Phase 2, Prepare to Play, will then be given. All things being equal and the Government allowing New Zealand Rugby to move to Phase 3, Play, a start date of June 20 is anticipated. This would be preceded by three weeks of full-contact training and a week of team training before kick-off on June 20. PBRFU chief executive Josh Willoughby is aware that the situation is fluid and state of play changeable. “The key message is that while we’re keen to play, we need to be considered, we need to be patient and we need to get it right,” Willoughby said. “We are communicating well and regularly with club officials and coaches.
