The government says it will allow the Wallabies to train together while in managed isolation, after complaints from the Australian coach. 

The Wallabies are due to play two Bledisloe Cup matches in New Zealand next month,  but the Australian coach Dave Rennie had complained about the lack of preparation time due to quarantine requirements. 

The Director General of Health has now said he's happy for the team to train together while in quarantine.
