Could also mean the AB's may not get into WA now.
Surely they travel tomorrow in the 48 hour window? Politcally they'll be allowed out
What 48 hour window? There is no restriction on travel out in Level 4, but it is upto WA to accept NZ flights or not

Not Sure WA have the strictest border controls so they would need to move quickly and not wait until scheduled fly out on Sunday.WA locked out any state who had covid cases, regardless if those state's were locked down or under strict restrictions or not.

anecdotally got told there was a 48 hour window for people to relocate before they were locked down properly. Either way, teh ABs will be going I'm sure (unless WA decline them)

Nope not true L4 starts 1159, that was for the original L4, got 48 hours notice. Not now, not with Delta and we know what lockdown means and is.

@bovidae said in Level 4 NPC?:
Teams can't train under L4 so there won't be any NPC this weekend, or under L3 due to restrictions on gatherings.
Yeah and we are very unlikely to go straight from L4 to L2 (play without crowds) on Friday, so this weekend will be a write off

@stargazer said in Level 4 NPC?:
@dan54 Yeah, the 48 hours is for getting home only, not for going anywhere you want.
However you can get dispensation to travel out of the country, if flights are still going. People did it last level 4 and the same applies, it is not like they will close the airport.

Agree with those saying the NPC will be shitcanned this weekend and possibly also the following weekend. Friday night is impossible as we're all at L4. If most of the country goes to L3 on Saturday then the limits on gatherings still rules it out. If the country sans Auckland is at L2 by the following weekend then play is possible but NH, Auckland and CM will probably still be at L3 minimum so they'd be out. Ideally the latter scenario takes place and the whole comp plays one midweek make up round with the greater Auckland sides and their opposition playing two midweek make up games.

As expected:
Bunnings Warehouse NPC, Farah Palmer Cup (FPC) and Heartland Championship matches, as well as all community and school rugby this weekend has been cancelled or postponed, New Zealand Rugby (NZR) announced today.
The next rounds of Bunnings Warehouse NPC, FPC and Heartland Championship will be rescheduled to be played at a later date in the competition. No community rugby is to be played at any level however Provincial Unions and their local organising bodies will determine whether those matches are cancelled or postponed.NZR’s decision means Round 3 of the Bunnings Warehouse NPC, the opening round of the Bunnings Warehouse Heartland Championship, and Rounds 6 and 7 of the FPC Championship and Premiership respectively, will now be played at a later date in the competition.
Rescheduled match timings will be confirmed as soon as possible.
Lancaster said NZR would review the status of all competitions beyond this weekend after the Government’s next COVID update on Friday 20 August. -
