The opening round of Super Rugby Pacific may have to be postponed, with members of the Moana Pasifika squad bracing for positive Covid-19 tests.
Moana Pasifika's final pre-season match is likely to be cancelled this weekend after a member of its training squad, who was with the team before it headed to Queenstown, was deemed a close contact.
A Blues player has also been deemed a close contact and is now isolating at the team's Queenstown hotel.
Players from both teams have so far returned negative results after rapid antigen tests.
But New Zealand Rugby's Chris Lendrum told RNZ sports editor Stephen Hewson they're waiting on more definitive PCR tests.
