Super Rugby will go ahead this weekend but the match between the Crusaders and Hurricanes has been moved to Sunday with the hope Covid-19 alert levels will be moved on Saturday night and a crowd will be able to come on Sunday.
The Chiefs game against the Highlanders remains on Friday.
The Chiefs were keen to play it on Sunday but had to stick to the Friday night so it would be played in front of empty stands.
Lockdown levels could be changed at 6am on Sunday should the Government be satisfied with progress.
New Zealand Cricket decided the three remaining matches in the twenty20 series between the Black Caps and Australia will all be played in Wellington.
The last match of the series was set for Sunday at Bay Oval at Mount Maunganui but logistical issues forced NZC to move it to Wellington.
The games are all double-headers involving games between the White Ferns and the English side.
All games will be televised but in front of no crowds.
The test series between the Australian Diamonds and the Silver Ferns starts tonight in Christchurch.
The two tests set for Tauranga this weekend have now been shifted to Christchurch. These games were shifted to minimise travel.
It appears other events which have the possibility of shifting to a later date are waiting as long as possible for hopefully some good news later this week.
The national athletics championships is not on this weekend as scheduled but organisers are looking for another date.
The South Island secondary schools rowing championships were set to be raced at Lake Ruataniwha in Twizel on March 5-7 but have been suspended.
Organisers of the event, which attracts about 1000 rowers, are working with School Sport New Zealand to assess whether the events can take place at an alternative time.
The Motatapu event, which includes cycling and running, due to be held on Saturday, was canned on Sunday.
More than 2300 athletes were set to line up for the event which would have been a big economic boost for Arrowtown and the Queenstown Lakes district.
