surely they can set something up with more super rounds, first four or five rounds in NZ, then everyone has a bye and goes to aus for the second half of the season
I think this is what they will do - and cross their fingers that by April the restrictions are eased (isn't April the tentative month from when the current restrictions are to be re-visited?)

“Most of those teams have learnt enough, and there's enough support and infrastructure around them, and international experience to be able to manage bubbles incoming and outgoing.
Ironic when some wallabies are stuck in the UK with covid and their awesome bubble they had. They're dreaming, no exceptions was stated when it was announced.

Do they even have editors at that place?
Quote from the article:
“It's not something we’ve put a lot of thought into as a club, because that's up to the competition to make those decisions, but I know every option is being considered to make sure that we can play Super Rugby Pacific in 2020.” -
@machpants didn't they leave the bubble to participate in the Barbarians game?
If that was considered 'in the bubble' then they have a pretty loose definition...

Nah my point was we have, in NZ, rugby bosses touting their knowledge and processes, and the knowledge and processes around the world, as so good and awesome. At the same time we have people using the same awsome processes cancelling games and getting stuck in the UK or SA due to those same processes not working. They have a much better opinion of their ability to keep covid bubbles working than the MoH will, imo

i am not sure that people fully appreciate what sort of sacrifices NZ sports people are making to ensure we have something on the TV
The Warriors have been in Aus for 2 years. The ABs have just got back from like 3 months overseas, and at this rate will head back in 2 months.
The Breakers did their stint as well, and looks like they will again.
It's bad enough for the Aussie guys who basically all moved to Qld for most of last year.

Vax rates on both sides of the Ta$man are massively high. If you want people to play trans-tasman sport, let them fucking move between countries FFS.

I don't get this at all either. Just put in place some guidelines for professional sports people to meet (e.g., bubbles, hotel stays paid for by the teams etc) then have separate guidelines for separating cases. The rest of the world has been managing this for ages, but NZ can't? it's a bit embarrassing as NZ is starting to look like it's got no idea except to close the doors and hope (again).

to be fair it's not just NZ
Super Rugby TT also has to deal with Qld and WA
Although Palletjack has repeatedly shown she'll do anything go hold sport here.

All true, but it's the NZ government who ruled out exceptions. I think that is silly, as they want everyone 'equal' when it's their own stupidly enforced rules that are creating this shit-show anyway.

A trans Ta$man bubble is surely not this difficult to implement.
