There would be a 3-week gap between Bled 3 and the first RC test against Arg. That is assuming that Arg plays in SA before then.

That’s enough time for the ABs to quarantine for the 2 weeks after Perth.
NZ could still host the Argies and SA.

So we'd only play them once, I guess. While Oz kicks their heels for a fortnight, then they fly to Oz?

It looks like that would be what has to happen if it is going to work.
Or with 4 states in lockdown and NSW not looking like coming out of it anytime soon.
Tests v Australia is all we might get.

@sparky Wellington have their big beer festival (Beervana) at Sky Stadium on the 14th. I highly doubt that will be shifted at such a late stage.

Would they make the test a Sunday match?

Switch Aucks and Welly dates?

Sounds easy. Logistically difficult I'd imagine

Or find an alternative venue for Welly?

I.e., MacLean Park?

Would be awesome! The Magpies v Otago Ranfurly Shield game would be a fantastic curtain raiser. Guaranteed a full house.

Fixed!

Freebie time.

So RTS is not staying cos he can't get quarantine slots until Dec. So that may well apply to the ABs if the bubble doesn't open after the 8 week pause, so who the fuck knows what's going to happen

Funny how they’re trying to push the sustainability of a huge petro-chemical Co in the statement.

Geez Foster is amazing taking charge of so many roles normally done by NZRU and other staff. The attempts to rubbish him on things he is not really involved in staggers me. Shows how little fans understand.

I hear Foster visited a Wuhan lab too…

He's like a big old meat shield

Oh wrong about this, not main front Jersey sponsor, back of shorts and training Jersey. The main one still up for grabs

[Rapido]

Kind of a shame (are not main sponsor) as they fit well with black.

Imagine if we get something flourescent like nib or DHL.

[Bovidae]

I assume we will be seeing a new AB jersey for the RC? The AIG sponsored AB jerseys are discounted at Rebel Sports.

Yeah you can already pre order it, sight unseen

[Kiwiwomble]

@machpants i did see you could pre order, i wonder what kind of uptake they get, its not like theyre limited numbers or something

[Billy Tell]

It’s great to see Greenpeace fronting up with bucketloads of cash for the Nzru to back up their anti-new sponsor campaign. In this modern age it’s good to see actions still speak louder than words (or tweets).

Aren't INEOS a really big player in pharma and renewable energy as well?

At least the logo is the right colour and doesn't clash much.
