Listen "Are live events prepared for a post-Covid world?"
Episode Synopsis
This weekend, Eden Park will host the Blues and the Crusaders for an epic showdown to mark the end of the Super Rugby Pacific tournament. It not only marks the end of a major sporting event. This clash of the long-time rivals will also be a major opportunity to welcome back live events. Thousands are expected to flock to Eden Park for the event, and thousands more will hit the city’s pubs and bars. So is this the first major test for our living with Covid strategy – or are we walking straight into a super-spreader event? Today, NZ Herald senior writer and diehard Blues fan Simon Wilson joins Damien for a discussion about what this match means for a country emerging from the pandemic.
