The trans- Ta$man bubble better be operational then.

@canefan I think he might be meaning he can get over to watch!
I would hope that the teams get authority to train whilst in Q, Hotel/team bus/training ground bubble for their 2 weeks. Then a week lead upo to their first test.
The way it's going right now, not going to be able to do it

The Aussies can bring grandads ball and chain to ensure that they don’t skip quarantine

I'll be flying back on a NZ passport.

To do two weeks quarantine for a couple of footy matches? Or are you assuming/hoping there will be a Trans Ta$man bubble by then?
I will be surprised if we have a bubble by then, assuming it is in October, right after our Election.

Be a bit farcical though wouldn't it? I mean I'd be buying tickets like everyone else but the other three nations aren't likely to be exactly match hardened.
Ozzie will be, as much as us. Boks and Pumas, maybe not so muc. But it will be revenue shared, and those guys are as desperate as us for money

Yeah. We would be heavy favourites though. Home games and quite a bit more decent rugby under the belts.

UK government has announced that spectators will probably be allowed in stadiums from October.
England and Scotland will host internationals in November. (Wales have a problem as their stadium is still on standby as a Nightingale hospital).
Big row coming with UK government if the ABs make themselves unavailable.

No row, and nothing to do with govt. But tests are reciprocal, NH haven't come here, so we don't need to go there. And no way the ABs are going to the plague infested rest of the world anytime soon

World Rugby cancelled the June tests not the WRFU or RFU.
Zero Covid-19 deaths in London the last two days and fewer than an average of one a day in Scotland now. The risk to healthy athletes of COVID-19 in the UK is lower than that of coach travel at the moment, especially if they stick to social distancing and hygine protocols. A Cricket Test is being played this week in Manchester.
Twickenham website still has England-New Zealand scheduled for 7th November:

Except that recently several players and staff from Premiership teams tested positive.

@sparky it didn't matter who cancelled them, the games are done by reciprocity. Unless we get revenue sharing on the gates, they aren't happening even if covid disappeared overnight. There won't be a row, or anything. UK already planning on playing 6n during that time, the website is irrelevant

@Stargazer Premiership Rugby say the positive tests for 7 players this week (mostly of asymptomatic individuals) "are in line with expectation" given the high volume of testing they are doing and won't delay the first post-lockdown fixture on 14th August.
