The All Blacks rugby team will have to spend Christmas Day in quarantine, after SANZAAR and Rugby Australia finalised the match schedule and venues for the Rugby Championship.
The 12-match, six-week tournament will be played in Brisbane, Newcastle and Sydney, with the All Blacks' last match – their final Bledisloe Cup contest – to be played on December 12th.
That means the earliest the team will be released from their 14 days managed isolation is December 27th.
Māni Dunlop spoke to RNZ's rugby reporter, Joe Porter.
