New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has confirmed professional sport will be part of the large amount of services allowed to resume at Alert Level 2 , with both rugby and netball already signalling they will make good on the news.

Ardern gave New Zealanders details on what life at Level 2 will look like when the country transitions to it from Level 3.

Midway through her speech, she gave Kiwi sports fans the news they'd been waiting for.

NZ-team

Ardern says professional sport will be able to resume domestically under Level 2 with the necessary public health measures in place.

She adds Super Rugby and the Netball Premiership League have already confirmed their intention to resume a domestic competition at Alert Level 2.

Crusaders-sm

Having previously stated outside gatherings at Alert Level 2 will be restricted to 100 people, Ardern added any competitions will be played without fans present.
