"While it's beyond our control on this occasion we're both keen to ensure we bring our two codes together in the future. We've worked on joint ventures before and plan to be involved in a lot more.
Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner said while this is a challenging time for the event industry, he is heartened that both the Blues and the Warriors organisations want to revisit joint ventures in the future.
"This period continues to be an uncertain and unprecedented time for the event industry however the health of our staff, patrons and visiting athletes remains the priority," said Sautner, who said his team are working through logistics of upcoming sporting events at Eden Park.
George and Hore said their organisations and Eden Park will work through the impact of the cancellation and advise fans in due course – and thank them for their understanding.
