"Outside a Queensland covid outbreak, why wouldn't it?"

Well if Scott Morrison calls Queensland the family from the Croods like he just did Western Australia, all manners of three-fingered banjo-stroking pandemonia might break loose north of the border..

@nzzp 2010 seemed like a nice round place to start frankly. 6/27 doesnt make it that much better...

So without Cane, Whitelock, Coles, Smith and Mo'unga for the series? Good odds.

@machpants Yeah think I might put a few lazy dollars on SA at $2.70.

Yup they can come in later, and hotel quarantine in QLD for 2 weeks, not going to be ready for a Bok test match straight after that! They could get an exemption, maybe?

[taniwharugby]

We've played the Boks 4 times at neutral venues (ie RWC) havent lost this century (4th game was 99, when we lost)

[Machpants]

So The ABs will travel to QLD no earlier than Friday 10th for their Sat 12th match vs Puma. Therefore they have been in WA for previous 14 days, and don;t have to quarantine. That won't apply to those flying from NZ.

We'll be in lockdown, level 3 at the least, so can still totally Sunday booze

Referee appointments have been released. Murphy in Perth. That will be fun. English refs for the NZ-SA tests.
