Over 30,000 fans expected for first Bledisloe Cup

Over 30,000 rugby fans are expected to be on the stand when the All Blacks take on the Wallabies at Sky Stadium tomorrow, however, Sky Stadium chief executive Shane Harmon has joined Dr Ashley Bloomfield by urging anyone feeling unwell to watch the game from home.

Harmon says other than the introduction of over 400 QR codes around the stadium and hand sanitiser anywhere food is purchased it will be business as usual.

Dr Bloomfield says anyone showing COVID-19 symptoms should give their tickets away so there is no risk of getting others sick.

There are currently no known community COVID-19 cases in New Zealand, after the country's last active community cases were deemed to have recovered on Wednesday.

Hoskins Sotutu who has links to Fiji will make his All Blacks debut off the bench while Filipo Daugunu and Marika Koroibete has been named to start for the Wallabies.

Sevu Reece has been omitted from the All Blacks team for the first Bledisloe Cup.

The All Blacks will meet the Wallabies at 3pm tomorrow.
