But a Covid-19 outbreak in Victoria this week, and a lockdown announced on Thursday, meant that was no longer possible after the New Zealand government extended their pause on quarantine-free travel from the state. The Rebels had flown to Sydney on Wednesday, in the hope of then transferring to Queenstown. But New Zealand's Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins said the team were covered by the travel pause because they were in Melbourne when it came into affect on Tuesday night. The Highlanders would travel to Sydney on Saturday, with the match being played at Leichardt Oval.
