    @canefan Can't see things opening up internationally in the immediate future, so I think an NZ Mini-Series is the answer.

    Only possible until a player tests positive. Then hwo do you continue it?

    This looks like it's going to have some real legs I fear

    If all sports are going to be canned - we'll have to start National Service weekends, where everyone gets out and picks up rubbish, etc.

    Otherwise what is the populace going to do at weekends? Hang around in shopping malls?

    Waiting until the Malls fill up with Meanderthals and locking the doors could be a good idea

    Good word. You get an upvote.

    Can anyone find the 1986 Bledisloe Cup game?

    Game, as in singular? Weren't there three? And do we want to remember them? One would hope they stay lost.

    @booboo There were three, but there's only one that you want to remember. Maybe.

    Not sure any if them are worth remembering.

    A question: If the NZ comp does go ahead, and that's still a big IF, do we go back to the amateur days of teams travelling by bus? I'm not sure moving sports teams around the country by plane is considered essential travel.

    @Bovidae

    I think this would be reasonable (in both directions):

    bus:
    Auckland - Hamilton
    Hamilton - Wellington
    Christchurch - Dunedin

    plane:
    Auckland - Wellington
    North Island - South Island

    ... or charter a plane to transport 45 people. Hell, buy a plane and fly teams aroudn, disinfecting between times 🙂

    Something liek this perhaps (56 seat capacity)

    @nzzp Charter planes would be the only option for rugby and netball for long distance travel if you can avoid the public areas of the main airports.

    @Bovidae yep.

    The internet provides so much useful information in life.

    The bombardier Q300 costs aroudn $USD1500/hour to operate. Costs $17M new. So a weekend of charters (top of my head), transporting two teams away and back would cost about $10k or so (say 6 hours of flying time).

    Seems very reasonable; about $100 per person total.

    The Dash 8 was an incredibly popular aircraft that was sold many times and finally underwent major changes to make it much more reliable, environmentally friendly, and quieter for passengers. The Q300 is still available today, and is a powerful aircraft for shorter flights.

    @Duluth hope we convince him to stay for another season, spoke to him at the Blues preseason game against Canes, impressed me as a player who makes good decisions..
