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.

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.

Picking a starting Rebels team for round one of Super Rugby Pacific

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.

Nah it would be split points

[Kiwiwomble]

weren't MP playing the landers?

[Tim]

@machpants 4 or 5 pts each for the cancelled game? I wonder if the rules are up on the web somewhere?

Depends what they decide, I've not seen any rules yet. It would just be like SANZAAR to leave it until too late to make these decisions. It is the sort of thing that should be out there already, after engaging with stakeholders before one of those stakeholders has a vested covid positive interest in the result

[KiwiMurph]

It would be 2 points each wouldn't it? Just like previously cancelled games in the past (i.e. after the Christchurch shooting).

[Tim]

@kiwimurph What was it in Australia last two years?

[Nogusta]

Positive 🤦‍♂️

This from the Herald says that the Blues, Chiefs and Highlanders will play a 3 half game this weekend should MP be isolated.

• Should Moana Pasifika's preseason match against the Highlanders be scrapped Lendrum indicated the other teams would engage in a game of three halves to ensure they had a hit out.
  "At this stage, whilst not confirmed, there is a distinct possibility Moana Pasifika may not be able to participate in the final weekend of preseason and we'll adjust the scheduling if that's the scenario we have to work with.
