Mid Canterbury rugby draw for this<br />
week:<br />
A reminder that game times have<br />
been adjusted to allow bubbles to be<br />
separated. There will be bubbles of 100<br />
maximum at each game. Teams should<br />
not arrive more than 30 minutes before<br />
kick-offtoassist in the management of the<br />
bubbles. The critical point is that bubbles<br />
should not cross over -one spectator per<br />
player.<br />
