Are you insinuating that those cases were connected to the Bledisloe cup?
Two were local cases and the rest were discovered at the border, including 18 infections among Russian and Ukraine fishing crews who had arrived on a charter flight from Moscow days earlier.
The two new community cases reported on Wednesday were contacts of a ports worker whose case was reported on Sunday. It had been the first instance of community transmission in New Zealand since 25 September.

I'm saying there are still cases there, so I don't know why they thought it was safe to have almost 50,000 fans in the audience at the game.

All those cases are isolated and in quarantine, but I agree with you that you can't get blase about this virus. I hardly leave my house these days.

Yes, they sound like they're letting their guard down. There could be cases they don't know about, since not every test is always accurate and they probably don't test everyone in the country every few days.
