All Blacks Tests 2020

I wonder who the refs for the BC series will be, taking into account the quarantine restrictions in both countries? If they use SA/UK/French refs they will need to arrive early and maybe officiate in some M10 Cup games before the 2 NZ tests.
Perhaps it will end up being NZ refs in NZ and Aust refs in Aussie if WR permits. The joys of a covid world.

@Bovidae they'd need to get here soon then, cos its only a month away.

@Machpants oh but he had a "reliable source".

Dane Coles, not a wimp
I hear him!
This may be obvious but is good to hear:
"NZ Rugby do it really well making sure our families back home are looked after and we have got good support and that makes it a bit easier."

Either piss or get off the pot!

@Bones I'm old school bro and proud of the sacrifices that the old boys made.
I'm up for the brickbats to be hurled in my direction but a month away, in fine style is hardly something to get the tissues out for and not an unreasonable work sacrifice as we gush over the proud privilege sentiments of being selected that we got a week or so ago.
I know it's a different time but it's all rather over done in my opinion. These guys are coddled too much I reckon.
Plenty of men would and do, undertake a few months away to provide for their families with out the "prestige" of representing the jersey.
Fire away pussies!!😁

@Siam sure, I'm just not sure what was wrong with what DC said. Are you saying there wasn't any support given in your "old school" days by nzru and that made those gorgeous studs the manly men they were?
Heck even my company supports me when I go on long trips by paying for the missus to come too. I am a big girls blouse though.

@Bones nah I didn't read any of it😄
Just got my dander up imagining that some weren't going to play and stay at home.
Then the comment about support for families seemed too touchy feely ( might be other families more in need of support) and then that deeply seated rant came out.
It's all bollocks and "nothing to see here" but I've made my bed so will have to double down for the next day or two, then skulk off denying it all - as is the tradition on the fern🥴😒😁

@Bones 😃 more like I can imagine some working class dye hard NZers wondering what support you get on top of 6 figure salary, freebies and a new Ford to drive around while the old man is away at work for a few weeks
Wonder how the plight of an AB family compares to theirs?

That's what I'm saying about using local refs. The English cricket team used local umpires in recent series against WI and Pakistan so maybe NZ and Aust do the same.

Bidwell goes full Reason. Hopefully the last we'll hear of him, if he doesn't care?
