Our focus now is to support our players and provincial unions, who now recognise that their processes should have been more robust. After being alerted to the situation by NZR, the Government has advised that the travel exemptions for the players have been revoked. We'd also like to thank our provincial unions for their co-operation as we have worked through this issue," Robinson said. All six players have had at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, with four of them fully vaccinated.
