@taniwharugby No they wern't. NZRU asked RA if they could reschedule and they obliged.
And no, WA didn't close the borders. If they did the premier of WA wouldn't be saying he will be looking to recover funds from ABs for cancelling.

Dude you need to keep up, Ozzie closed all NZ quarantine free travel yesterday, including WA. So ABS leave tomorrow, in Q for 2 weeks, that means they can't play until the weekend after the scheduled Perth test. You really are making stuff up.
Low risk jurisdictions
Before travelling to WA, complete a mandatory G2G PASS registration and declaration.
Complete a health screening on arrival.
Scan your G2G PASS and then verify you have suitable premises for self-quarantine.
If you have suitable premises, enter self-quarantine for 14 days. If not, you will be directed to enter a Government-approved quarantine facility at your own expense for 14 days.
You must wear a mask from when you enter WA until you arrive at suitable self-quarantine premises or government approved quarantine facilities. In addition if travelling by air, you must also wear a mask on the flight while in WA airspace, and while inside the airport (with some exceptions – e.g. children under the age of 12 are not required to wear a mask).
Travellers are subject to a COVID-19 test within 48 hours of arrival and on day 12 of quarantine, or at any point when symptoms develop. A mask must be worn while travelling to and from the COVID Clinic.
The G2G Now app enables virtual check-ins during your quarantine once you have entered WA. Travellers from low risk jurisdictions are encouraged to download and use the app. -

Australia have a) quarantined for two weeks in order to play in NZ and b) rearranged the schedule to suit NZRU and to navigate pandemic related difficulties. We agreed to play Eden Park twice, for fuck sake. The single dumbest thing any rugby playing nation has ever done.
Now that there are difficulties in the other direction NZRU pull the plug via social media? jog on to mount doom and dive in.

@derpus so they can get on a plane as planned for next weekends game, if thats the case, then NZR are bigger fuckwits than I thought

The potential issue from this is if the RCs don't proceed after the Perth test for whatever reason, then the ABs could be stuck there for a while. I think NZR wanted a fixed RC schedule before committing to Perth, and they didn't get it in time.

Right so just making shit up like our journos, WA Premier didn't know when interviewed, not sure how this guy does. 'scope' from a journo is not really enough to fly out of the country on Sun - with the possibility of being in quarantine not only for the weekend of the test but the weekend after. NZR has made the correct decision not to fly out until it is sorted.
@Derpus Not arguing that, if true (and I really hope it isn't), that NZR neglected to inform RA before press release is anything but the actions of a bunch of unprofessional arrogant fluffybunnies.

McGowan is a fuckwit.
The ABs had to quarantine for two weeks. Those are the rules as per the WA website.

Given Robinson in his response didn't deny it all pretty clearly shows that's exactly what they did.
About time Robinson faced some pressure in NZ.

Yeah the entire 'We will remodel SR in our own image', 'Sell our soul without consulting the players first', and now this is pretty fucking shit. Our press is shitter because they are not all over it.

A compromise solution here might be to what the French did and send a C/D NZ team to the dead rubber in Perth.

@sparky what does that achieve, besides reaching Pom levels of arrogance? If you can send the D team you can send the A team.

Realism. The main squad are possibly going to be in Europe for most for September, October and November if rumours are true. They are not going to want to spend two weeks in MIQ in NZ on top of that. 50,000 tickets have been sold. I think it could be a great game, as the recent Australia-France games were.
Nothing apart from pride in the Jersey is on the line for NZ in Perth. It would be a good opportunity to have look at some more players at this stage of the World Cup cycle.

@sparky sounds fair, as long as we get to host the next two at Suncorp and then send our D team to Eden Park. That should be a great game too.

@stargazer Yes, that was the joke.

@stargazer South Africa is on the UK Red list. This would put the games against USA and Wales in doubt.

Robinson.....I know it is difficult times but have we ever had so much trouble with everything the NZR is involved with. He seems to have a "reverse Midas touch" - everything he touches turns to shit!
