You thinking Foster might still lose when there's no games?

Mate I would expect Foster is the only coach who could lose when they are not playing.
His ability to fuck up is unprecedented is the coaching world. -
The Government has granted the Wallabies an “economic exemption” to enter New Zealand so a Bledisloe Cup match at Eden Park can go ahead.
-
It's pretty fucked the exemptions governments will give to football comps.

SA Rugby announced on Monday that the two Tests against Los Pumas will be played on consecutive weekends straight after the Castle Lager Lions Series and are scheduled for 14 and 21 August, with both kicking off at 17h05 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
Springboks to host Argentina in Nelson Mandela Bay
The Springboks will start the defence of their Castle Lager Rugby Championship title against Argentina, when they return to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium for the first time since 2018 in the opening two Tests of their 2021 campaign.

@stargazer The venue(s) weren't confirmed.

Not much new here, but if welly not available for test 2 it'll go to Eden park.
'This is it': Wallabies' exemption the last during travel pause - Robertson
The Deputy Prime Minister is drawing the line on rugby exemptions to the trans-Tasman bubble pause after the Wallabies arrive for the upcoming Bledisloe Cup.
My worry is the ABs go to Perth after bled 2, can't get back until after NH tour code the bubble not re opened

I have to agree with Fozzie that a year on and we still haven't worked out a solution for travelling sports teams.
I can only guess that the whingers that 'hate' sport and those that want more Wiggles tours would never shut up if you put strict vaccination/testing/bubble rules in place for a rugby team. -

It depends on what the rugby teams expect. We have had international cricket and netball teams here.
-
Hope we get the two tests in NZ. Will be silly playing the 100th test in Australia.

As pointed out non rugby teams have done it, cest la vie.
As to foster complaining about lack of creative solutions, oh the irony is thick!

articles in English:Rugby Championship 2021: 47-man roster confirmed by Argentina
Rugby Championship 2021: Argentina Missing XVWhen compared to the roster from the 2020 Tri Nations, there are eleven names missing. They are forwards José Luis González, Ignacio Calles, Ignacio Calas, Lucio Sordoni, Mayco Vivas, Federico Wegrzyn, Santiago Grondona and backs Tomás Albornoz, Juan Imhoff, Lucas Mensa and Ramiro Moyano.
Multiple factors explain why the above names are not selected for the 2021 tournament. Some players are sidelined with injuries, others were wider roster options who have recently joined teams abroad and some are simply out of favor. ...
Since the team naming, yesterday, the news has come out that Tomás Cubelli needs surgery on his hand. He'll be replaced.
Also, props Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro and Francisco Gómez Kodela will only be available for the South African leg of the RC.
