Two more Super Rugby teams go into isolation
By Online Editors
The Crusaders and Chiefs have entered voluntary self-isolation, choosing to follow New Zealand Government guidelines and shut themselves off from the world in the face of the coronavirus.
In separate statements, both teams said they will undergo a quarantine process after returning home over the weekend following games in Australia.
Earlier on Wednesday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern recommended any person who has recently recently entered New Zealand from overseas travel - even those who returned before the Sunday midnight border restriction deadline - should enter self-isolation.
The Chiefs said it will undergo four days of isolation, until Sunday, while the three-time defending champion Crusaders didn't reveal their time frame.
Both teams have begun the process a day after the Highlanders, who were forced into a 14-day quarantine after returning from Buenos Aires on Tuesday.
The Crusaders and Chiefs statements both advised that some membe rs of their squads didn't travel to Australia and won't be isolated.
"So please don't be alarmed if you see some of our team out in public," they said.

There is a major story unfolding around Gleeson's bar in Booterstown, South Dublin City last night. Beaudy Barrett, DMac and Cody Taylor were there. DMac was supposed to be on the Guinness 0.0 but lets just say it didn't turn out that way.
Hours later, Dmac out cold, head on the table with a long stallagtite of flem and spittle rising and falling with his breathing. There is a video apparently.
The barman barred a staggering Taylor from any more Guinness but Taylor kept pushing past him, pulled a seat up to the Guinness tap and personally pulled himself pints, claiming it was 'celebrity pint pulls mate'.
One of these celebrity pint pulls made a local paper but it's only a matter of time before the real context comes out. Dmac is out of the team for Friday due to breaking 'internal standards', Sititi starting at 10.

I tell you what though, the head knock from Kriel on Hugh jones in the wc that didn’t result in any card was a real mystery with the way things are now.
Also suspect the Boks will be pretty well motivated by glasgows antics in stellenbosch last week and loftus in June…
Should be a cracker hopefully!
