    What the hell is going with NZR?

    Is Robinson just a muppet or?

    I'd say the muppets are working for SANZAAR. NZR didn't agree to the schedule. It sounds like SANZAAR politics are at play ..

    Why do they have to play 4 tests against Aussie anyway? Two in NZ and 1 in Aussie is enough. Just let one of those Bledisloe Cup tests in NZ count for the RC. Problem solved, except the 💰 for that last test.

    yep. with no sponsor and no broadcast deal, the Wallabies are a play-to-pay exercise

    @Stargazer The extra test is in NZ this year.

    RA and SANZAAR are finding out it isn't that easy to organise a tournament with 3 away teams in these times.

    I think the issue is the contractual agreement for this year prior to COVID was 1 game in NZ & 2 games in Aus.

    That's why Rennie/Aus were looking to walk away from one of the NZ Bledisloes - they are only required to play 1 in NZ this year.

    @KiwiMurph Yep, but the contractual agreement was also to have tests in Argentina and South Africa, so the whole agreement is out of the window anyway.

    SA and Aries will be underdone for the tournament anyway with no rugby.

    It's not going to look good for The Rugby Championship if a number of marquee players decide to opt out and not come.

    Well ABs aren't playing that game. Obviously an Ozzie attempt to finally get the Bled once we default

    I'm kind of hoping that the 2 NZ tests are played and then the RC falls over.

    @Bovidae I still find it hard to see how the Argies can field a team. All those guys with positive tests ... From what I read from French players who got COVID, it took them a while to be able to train and play again, even those with few symptoms. Something to do with lesions in the lungs????

    Three months on ABs salary or two months on M10 Cup pay?

    Those with wives will be going! 🙂

    Argentinian coach Ledesma comments

    “I’m all good, I never had symptoms or anything,” Ledesma told the Herald from Buenos Aires. “Ninety-nine per cent of our staff and players were fine. Only one guy got symptoms a month ago but the other guys were asymptomatic. It’s really weird because we had a lot of positive cases, but all asymptomatic. Some guys were living together, sharing maté [a popular drink in Argentina] and bathrooms but one got it and the other didn’t. It happened in three or four different cases.”
    
    There was further good news last week with a further 26 negative cases. This week, more negative results came back and the Pumas have faith that when they get on the plane, likely early next month, they will be free of COVID-19.
