@sparky at 100 quid a shot
The NFL London games aren't happening in 2021 so there'll be more weekends when Wembley is available.
The more you look at it a 5 nations mini-tournament involving SA, Aus, NZ in England & Wales in November/early December makes huge financial sense.

I doubt there will be crowds in UK in November.
Would not make financial sense to organize a tournament for the 3 teams on the other side of the world at time of predicted second wave, with likely no crowds. Couldn't insure that kind of recklessness. Exposed to huge potential (likely) losses.
Going to Japan in November might make sense, if repeatedly playing Oz doesn't appeal (it doesn't). But JRFU look to be getting involved in the 8 team comp RFU are trying to organize.

If cases keep going down in the UK, restrictions will ease further. All rumour but UK government is looking at allowing sport in stadiums with some spectators from September/October

No doubt restrictions will ease further, right up until they go start going back on again. Probably around October/ November.
Tough situation to be in. Obviously all unions need to keep planning for resumptions. Hopefully the European Autumn does work out for those interested in trying to play there and then.

If, God forbid, there are no AB tests this year, that'll be the first year of no test rugby for the All Blacks since . . . 1948.
Mate I reckon not even @dogmeat or @ACT-Crusader were alive then.

Maybe @Lee-Grant?
But I digress.

Pretty sure the Everest is on Oct 17. So if they could organise an AB test that night, I'm all in.

Whats the Everest?
Can't see it going ahead this year, given Melbourne's just locked down for 6 weeks again. Can't see Jacinda & co being keen to send /receive sports teams to / from anywhere in Oz for a long time yet.

@MajorRage Melbourne/Victoria is completely locked down from the rest of Australia. I don't see that being a dealbreaker.

I can see it now, “The show must go on! Tasmania and Stewart Island get their first Bledisloe tests”
