I posted this on another forum, ABs have played 5 tests so for this year, and coming up they have 10 tests in 12 weeks, can anyone think of any year where they have had a harder schedule??
Getting excuses in early huh ? You must be a Foster fan.
Why would I need to make excuse, I pretty neutral on who AB coach is, although I do support Foster if he is AB coach.
Anyway can you tell me where the ABs have had a 10 tests in 15 weeks before? Just try and stick to subject huh??Shit, someone’s cranky over lockdown.

The Invincibles played that many games in 5 weeks
And in any of old tours they played more games in 2 weeks, I asking tests?? I think we can actually say there is a difference. I find it a pretty hard it

@mn5 Sorry fellas got distracted, but not sure why I cranky etc, I just wonder why I get shit because I asked if anyone knew of the ABs having a harder test schedule. Instead of answering I get called a Fozzie supporter (which I will be while he coaches ABs, because I an AB supposter) . So I tkae it noone really know of a heavier test schedule?

For the upcoming games I checked the previous two world cup years
2015 - 9 Tests in 85 days
2019 - 10 Tests in 84 days (although the RWC game vs Italy was cancelled)So the upcoming games are a similar workload to a RWC and a couple of warmup games. Less 'easy' games than you'd get in RWC pool stages though
But both of those years only had 12 Tests in total

Except at no point will the players return home between games. This will be as tough a schedule as any AB team has had for some time in terms of being away

It's a pretty good job, really. Wages, accommodation, travel seats, etc.
Don't think anyone suggesting it not the job they all want, just saying it probably a tough schedule.
Also can't get replacements while in OZ for at least 2 weeks, and any player that gets injured can't come back home until team returns Noc 23rd or whenever. I think it's got a bloody lot of extra problems than any teams in last 20 odd years at lest. Even if they need replacements, will they be able to even return with rest of team, as they would only have a certain number of quarantine spots I imagine.

One should never get cranky on the fern, it’s all fun and bullshit on here anyway.

In breaking news, AB's, playing the sport they love, for upwards of $500k-$1m per year, have a pretty good job.
