@duluth addressing scrums but not rucks when it's almost the same thing. So stupid.

I am assuming that the second round of preseason games will still take place in Queenstown?

That would be:
Chiefs vs Blues
MP vs Highlanders
Hurricanes vs Crusaders

Has there been any news about these games?

Before the Queenstown move these were scheduled to take place on Friday.

[Bovidae]

@duluth I haven't read anything definite since the move. We'll have to wait to see if the teams release team lists today or tomorrow.

The article about the covid scare also says this:

All six New Zealand-based Super Rugby teams are scheduled to play pre-season games in Queenstown this Saturday.

I don't get how we can't get a full pack of all the rugby games streamed through youtube or something. Even the one camera package from last week was fine, and from the viewing figures is seems there is sufficient demand.

holy shit y'all motherfuckers have too much time on your hands if you are happy to sit down and watch a single-camera feed of a preseason game.

[Bovidae]

Sky will have to broadcast games live from Wakatipu RC from next weekend so they could have the infrastructure in place for Sat, particularly the OBU. The game at RL Park was moved there at short notice.

The Rebels will enter their 12th year with a new coach and determination to exceed expectations in Super Rugby Pacific.

The Blues Super Rugby Pacific preparations are back on track after the entire squad returned negative Covid-19 test results and were cleared to resume training in their bubble in Queenstown on Thursday.

[Tim]

@duluth Thank fuck for that.

Hoping the results stay negative too.

[Bovidae]

Nice backdrop for Chiefs training.

[Nogusta]

@tim the Moana players not in the clear yet.
I'm hearing its very likely they will return positive results

[Tim]

@nogusta ah man, that would have been 5pts for the Blues.
