Wasn't there talk of some this year after the WC got cancelled?

With the borders of Australia and NZ both sealed I think the plans never got off the ground.

The All Blacks played in Cardiff yesterday. This afternoon there`s a women`s international England v New Zealand at Exeter.

NZRL players seem to be sealed in, but border restrictions haven`t prevented their RU players from fulfilling fixtures.
