Former All Blacks coach Sir Graham Henry expects a few nerves when professional rugby returns tonight.
Super Rugby Aotearoa will be the first professional rugby competition in the world to resume after the most global sports was suspended during the coronavirus pandemic.
Sir Graham, who coached the Blues to the first Super Rugby titles (1996, 97), will be in the Eden Park stands, with his grandson and a young friend, but he expects some rust from all teams.
He told the AM Show that the players will play with a huge amount of passion adding they love the game and they'll be jumping out of their skin.
He says they will be rusty and there will be mistakes without any rugby in three months, but hopes everybody stays fit.
The Highlanders will face the Chiefs at 7.05 pm today while the Blues will take on the Hurricanes at 3.35 pm tomorrow.
