    Don't have to go very far to deem it laughable....Tate McDermott is 3rd.

          @Tim weird - Crusaders $1.40 to win the roudn robin, but $4 to win the comp.

          I'd lay them on those odds. A hiccup in an 8 game comp and that's it

              @Tim according to Jacindas press conference it seems as if the 72 hours are just a precaution so I can see it going ahead.

                  I'd assume NZR have a contingency plan for covid this year? Weren't Super teams changed to be classed as business so they can train under alert level 3? Or is that wrong?

                        I wouldn’t mind seeing that may need bigger squads to get through it though

                          hardly a show piece when the teams are playing each other that often, its like the RC when you end up playing aussie four times a year anything special starts to disappear

                            @Kiwiwomble Yeah, 3 rounds might be a bit too much. If this happens, they must come up with something (I have no idea what) to make it interesting enough for people to come back to the stadions yet again. Maybe a tournament with a completely different format, crazy rules, ....

                              @Stargazer don't know if was just me but there looked like there was a distinct drop in attendances in the second round, let alone what they might be with a third

                              maybe one of the three games against the same team needs to be taken rurally?

                                @Kiwiwomble Just outside their main centres would be a start. Blues to Albany or Whangarei, Chiefs to NP, Pukekohe or Rotorua, the Canes to Napier or (heaven forbid) Palmy; Crusaders to Nelson, and Landers to Invercargill.

                                  @Stargazer definitely, its at least where I would start

                                  would also be the perfect time to crack out some LE local union homage jerseys, Highlanders maroon, Canes Green and white if in Palmy etc

                                    @Stargazer Blues were due to play in Whangarei last year for their first RR game there in many years, but Covid put paid to that, like loads of stuff.
