The match which was originally scheduled for Saturday 5th June in Hamilton has shifted venues due to the COVID-19 lockdown and uncertainty over international travel to New Zealand.
"Despite this further disruption to Super Rugby, it is great that we can reschedule world-class rugby matches with the assistance of the teams so that fans can attend or watch the action on television. Indeed, I encourage all rugby fans in Sydney to head to Leichhardt Oval on Sunday to support these two Super Rugby teams who have had to adapt their preparations under the current difficult circumstances," stated Brendan Morris, SANZAR CEO.
The Rebels are not new to this situation after their last year’s season was disrupted by the coronavirus forcing them to play all their matches away from home.
"The Rebels deserve special mention as their season last year was severely disrupted to the point where they played all matches away from home, and now they have had further disruptions this season due to the unfortunate COVID-19 outbreak in Melbourne. This is the penultimate round for the Trans-Tasman tournament and SANZAR continues to work with New Zealand Rugby (NZR) and Rugby Australia (RA) to monitor all the changing government quarantine and travel protocols, and as always we have detailed contingency plans for the last round should they be required," added Morris.
