The second match of this tournament will be played on Sunday between the Blues and Hurricanes. Almost all 42,000 tickets for this match have been booked. It is mandatory to apply social distancing and masks in the tournaments starting in other countries among Corona. All these rules have been relaxed in the Rugby League of New Zealand. World Rugby has changed some rules to make the match more exciting. Now, if the score is equal to 80 minutes, then you will get 10 minutes of extra time, in which the first five minutes will be Golden Point. The team that scored the first goal in this time will win the match. Teams will be able to replace the red card player after 20 minutes so that the entire players are on the field.

Chiefs coach Warren Gatland said, 'New Zealand is improving rapidly.' He further said, "We were still thinking that it will take more time to improve the situation but it is not so. Initially, it was planned that the league would be played in an empty stadium. Players will have to travel by chartered plane during the day, but the New Zealand government did a great job of tackling Corona." In the last three weeks, a new case of corona has not come in New Zealand. So far only 22 people have lost their lives here.
