New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the Wallabies rugby team will be allowed to train together while in quarantine.

The Wallabies are due to play the All Blacks in two Bledisloe Cup matches in New Zealand.

The Wallabies coach had complained about the lack of preparation time due to quarantine requirements.

Ardern told Radio NZ the Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield was happy for the team to train together while in quarantine.

Training will be allowed from day three and the full squad from day six.

There have been discussions for the two matches to take place on October 17th and 24th.
