    Playing the RC in Aust (likely Perth) is still an option according to those on the other side of the ditch. Pleasing sponsors for each of the 4 teams would be messy as you would have to designate one team to be the "home side" in each test so the signage could be changed as required.

    And would NZR be keen to have all Bledisloe Cup games in Aust?

    I think he's dreaming. A run down motel owner telling everyone the solution to their problems is to book out his premises...

    The 2020 Rugby Championship is set to be hosted by New Zealand, writes Wayne Smith for The Australian.

    My guess is that All Blacks season will be a shortened Rugby Championship in NZ in September/October, then heading north for a some internationals in front of empty or near empty stadiums in November.

    An ABs home test is part of my Waikato season membership so we would get the ABs vs Argies (again).

    I can hear the NZRU now:

    'Bovidae's got a season ticket with an AB game - quick, let's schedule one so he can watch'

    😃

    Just joshing, but it would be awesome if you got one in the Tron. I'd come down again, great stadium. I suspect EP will get a fair number though, with visiting sides

    Play one test at EP and one at another venue on the same weekend

    For example

    Week 1 All Blacks Vs Springboks, Eden Park. Australia Vs Argentina, The Tron.

    Week 2 All Blacks Vs Argentina, Caketin
    Springboks Vs Australia, Eden Park

    Week 3 All Blacks Vs Australia, Eden Park
    Springboks Vs Argentina, Dunners.

    I read somewhere this afternoon (I've not been able to find it again), that if this goes ahead, the ABs will only be available for the first three rounds of Mitre 10 Cup.

    @nzzp My comment was more about if the RC is hosted in NZ then NZR would probably schedule the AB games as they were to be pre-covid to avoid having to refund any season members from the main test venues. NZ vs Arg was to be played in Hamilton.

    All Blacks v Australia, 7.35PM, Saturday 15 August, Sky Stadium, Wellington
    All Blacks v Argentina, 7.35PM, Saturday 29 August, FMG Stadium Waikato, Hamilton
    All Blacks v South Africa, 7.35PM, Saturday 5 September, Eden Park Auckland
    

    The other games between Aust, SA and Arg would likely be played at the largest stadiums to maximise revenue for all countries.

    @Bovidae You’ve got to think that they would stuggle, aside from the OZ SA one, to fill Eden Park. I don’t think Oz or SA v Arg would fill Eden Park.

    @Machpants I agree and wasn't suggesting all the other games should be at Eden Park. Wellington, Dunners, maybe Albany are also options. Chch and Nelson - no.

    @Machpants Yep, the Argentina games are good games to play in either Christchurch, or smaller stadiums like Napier, Nelson (or North Harbour).

    SA should play at Albany mostly. Browns bay is just down the road and is Joburg by the sea, would be plenty of support.

    Browns Bay is a pretty rough hood bro. Some people don't even drink lattes.

    I used to work up that way. Scarred me for life mate, that's why I never step out without my Glock

    We would have had an AB squad selected by now and be looking forward to the 1st test against Wales this Saturday.
