2020 Rugby Championship in Oz
-
Looks like it’s confirmed....
-
@Kiwiwomble Nothing on the Springboks website or social media, yet.
-
Reports say the South Africans officially notified Sanzaar of their decision on Thursday night. An announcement is expected on Friday.
-
@Machpants yep, a bit shit!
How strong is the Argie side they have in Aus?
-
@taniwharugby No idea TBH, I’ve not seen a list. It also hasn’t been confirmed exactly how/ when and for how long their NH guys are going to be involved.
No surprise with the Boks, they’ll keep their World No 1 for well over a year now! It’ll be the longest non-ABs time ever, I think. EDIT: It already is - took a pandemic to do it
-
Crucially they've defended their status for a grand total of zero games...

But they’ll have held it for TWO WHOLE YEARS, minimum! Outside of NZ it has never been longer than a few months. An aceivement I am sure will be crowed about.

How funny would it be if we won on Sunday, to retain Bled in the greatest of matches and then RC was canned and the AB's were released for the NPC! Happy days!
Even if the RC is cancelled, we’ve still got 2 bleds to go in Oz

This guy. A perfect audition for RA's CEO position.

Wasn't it widely agreed - after NZR claimed it wasn't - that every union involved had been given the schedule with enough lead time, and approved it accordingly?

My recollection is RA were amenable to a five week tournament, but SA and the Argies wanted six. Not that they'd agreed to the dates, let alone had RSVP'd for the party.
Confirmed: Boks bail on Rugby Championship, new ABs fixtures announced
