@tim is there no 'border' between Queensland and BB (never been there)
Not normally, we were down that way last weekend. You can just drive out of Qld into NSW pretty much as normal.
Plenty of signs telling you there are restrictions about come back in though, and on the opposite side of the highway there are quite clearly massive checkpoints for getting back into Qld and a decent line up of queued cars/trucks.
My mother's partner works in Tweed and they live in Coolangatta, he has a border exemption and every time I call them he complains about having to wait to get back into Queensland at the end of the day.
In saying that you can probably still walk around but my Mum said they tightened up on that this time round.
How fucking stupid are the media/Oz minders/Chieka etc with this team?

From the article below (obviously doesn't mean it's true):The players reportedly include Argentina captain Julian Montoya.
Pumas players kicked out of Rugby Championship for border breach
Six Argentina players and two management staff have been kicked out of the Rugby Championship for breaching Covid restrictions in Australia.

Man how dumb
Are they going to move our game earlier?
I think it's at the time as it is SA's "home" game

Janette Young could grant them an exemption and allow them to play even if they’ve come from a hotspot state because it brings “a lot of money into the state”…

No I mean our Game is a home game for SA so it is at that time so SA fans can watch more easily (I think)

@kiwiwomble said in Wallabies v Pumas II:
and here i was thinking they would be in full bubble mode in their hotel incase the game had to be played behind closed doors because of the cases in QLD or something
Nah. There’s basically no restrictions up there and there won’t be until after Sunday night at the earliest.
I’m glad the Qld govt hasn’t locked it down, but they have had short lockdowns, several times this year mind you, for a lot less cases.

Yeah, that's why I thought it might be moved. Can't move it if Ozzie still playing!

yeah, i get the state doesn't have restrictions/lockdowns, just thought these touring teams might have been a bit more cautious

Nah. There’s basically no restrictions up there and there won’t be until after Sunday night at the earliest. Bring in

The travelling to Byron was bad judgment, but no need for a hotel bubble or too be that cautious in my view. Everyone up there is living normal. Shops open, go to the beach, gather in groups. No need for the players to be cooped up in their hotel rooms. I’d imagine most if not all are vaccinated too.

All blacks are double jabbed, but last thing said they are bubble hotel and training. Maybe precautionary?

Great move by Montoya - why the fuck turn up again for a pasting and a running argument with the ref?
Byron's nicer than anywhere they've been in QLD anyway so might as well sit out the week.
"Ay carumba - sorry amigos I didn't realise there was a border here!"
(Big fucking sign in the background stating in no uncertain terms you're not allowed into the Palace Chook's swamp unless you do quarantine)
