All Blacks Tests 2020

@Tim I did find the SMH article to be a little fishy, especially the timing of it. It came out almost immediately after Hamish McLennan appeared on The Breakdown and spoke about the minutes. Perhaps more evidence that RA wants to play this out in the media.

Personally after the early fuck you we sent to Australia via the Aratipu report and we all heard the fall out at the time in the media, does anyone really expect anything less as a reply from Australia? I think NZ rugby were incredibly naive if they believed that could be treated as a stand alone issue. If any nation was going to react with "revenge is a dish best served with a side of fuck you" , then they picked the right opponent.
Unfortunate mess but we are going have to work with the dick

Absolutely.
We can't play all innocent and woe is me when we sent them a two fingered salute
EDIT: In fact, it would have been tremendously weak of them to not come out with all this bluster. Getting the Rugby Championship was a huge gift. There would have had some beers and laughs over that one.

NZRU seem to be creating a mess, they may find it hard to climb out of.
Sometimes it pay's to say nothing.
I agree. While I think it is both sides, while they are hosting the RC, they are looking the better at bluster.

Seems to be a new chapter in this saga every day, look forward to tomorrow’s edition. This is like back to the John O’Neil days. NZR don’t seem to be covering themselves in glory currently, come back Steve Tew?
If the All Blacks don’t perform on the field the shit is going to get real and real quick.
The way the Super Rugby review fundings were released was a shambles, seems to have been down hill since.

"I'm the chairman of Sanzaar and there's not been a Sanzaar board meeting since the 4th of August," Impey said.
"The notes that have been published are not board minutes, and they've got a fundamental error in it as far as we're concerned, which says the six-week draw was agreed by all. I can tell you that it wasn't – we know that, and Rugby Australia and Sanzaar know that.
"The notes also quite clearly refer to an impasse and there are many emails that prove this... our position has never changed."
