North vs South

@KiwiMurph It all depends on when and where the BC games are going to be played. The Oct 3 game against Moana Pacific would be based on the first 2 games being in NZ (Oct 10 and 17) because otherwise the ABs will have to quarantine in Aust prior to playing the Wallabies, so that game wouldn't be possible on that date. Everything would be fluid at this point in time until the RC dates are confirmed.

love this kind of stuff, adds...i don't know what to call it...adds something to these trophies
if they're going to use it against this year i wonder if they'll add all the other missing years too it
just reading, the last game it was used, the draw was in wellington, surprised its wasn't down there somewhere

Why on earth aren't the NZ government doing all they can to make this game and All Blacks Tests happen? The finances of NZR won't be able to cope.
I think the professional game in NZ will struggle to survive.
Who says they aren't?
Perhaps wait for some actual announcements one way or the other.

@KiwiMurph Professional sport is happening in some shape or form in most counties now, despite COVID. It is totally absurd that the NZ government who have many, many fewer COVID cases than most countries are struggling to make pro-sport (with the necessary crowd safety restrictions) happen.

Have you been asleep for the last couple of months? Plenty of pro sports “happened” recently. Mostly in front of large crowds while other sports around the world were played in empty stadiums with recorded crowd noise and cardboard cutout fans.
We have had one game cancelled, another not allowed crowds and one postponed. Doesn’t seem so absurd to me in the context of Earth 2020. -

I present to you, ladies and gentleman, hurricanes fanship! "SRA didn't happen...."

@pukunui Yes, to answer your question, I did notice SRA.
But what about the next few weeks/months? Surely Pro-Rugby must be allowed to function unhibited while the number of COVID-19 cases in NZ are tiny.
There is a very good chance it will be after the 6th of September.

Going ahead in Wellybops.
No Crowd
So dull

Really pleased it is going ahead and the killjoys haven't got their way.
This is why you wait for announcements.
Pro sport in empty or semi empty stadiums is the new norm around the world. It is not as good as full stadiums obviously. The idea that means you cancel everything is weak.
Looking forward to North Vs South and the players being able to compete.

The fake crowd sounded really bad in the Highlanders/Canes match - even worse than the NRL version
During that game I tried switching to the alternative audio without the commentary and that had the fake crowd too. That option shouldn't have the fake shit.
