You don't want MP to play any games?
I'm happy to get any games.
I'd rather have 3.
Me too, but that's not an option so I upvote the one game we get to see.

Massive downvote, now the Canes have to catchup 2 games.
Good to see MP are playing though.
The Hurricanes are meant to have a bye next week so hopefully they can turn that week off into a match week, otherwise that's three weeks without taking the field.

They're slightly more appealing than your aerial ping ping, bogan rugby, and horsies suggestions.

As do the Blues. MP would have have 4 catch-up games to play.
Hurricanes are scheduled to play MP away next round with a bye the week after.
The Chiefs and Hurricanes could play in their bye week, but would lose a week off.

Look on the bright side, that could be six weeks since you last lost a game.

NZRU did a half-ass bubble in QTown that cost hundreds of thousands, then abandoned the bubble just as omicron was about to rip through NZ seemingly because Ardie Savea complained about a 4 hour bus trip...
they moved to Queenstown and still had to cancel games but Mark Robinson told us it was still the right call. Good laugh out of that one.
My issue is with deadshit administrators that don't have any forward thinking and common sense.

@kiwi_expat What are they doing in Aust? I think that the Drua are in a bubble of sorts but what about the 5 Aust teams?

No bubbles playing out of their bases,Really covid doesn't exist. No compulsory testing etc 100% capacity must be double vaxed.
Edit except WA 50% capacity.

I assume the teams must be doing testing etc. There's still a heap of Covid around, just nowhere near the peak. I assume if it gets into a team then they could be in the same boat as NZ teams if it spreads quickly.

From the rugby.com.au social media, so Aussie times (and humour):
-
The Highlanders face a loss of up to $2 million this season.
Chief executive Roger Clark was not available for an interview earlier this week, but in an emailed response he outlined how dire the financial situation has become as the franchise copes with a third season disrupted by Covid-19.
He confirmed the Highlanders' expected loss was in line with the other four New Zealand teams of between $500,000 and $2 million.
While that is a wide range, the Highlanders' accounts are a closed book and his admission does offer a peek into the tight spot they find themselves.
So how bad is it?
"We won't know exactly until the season has run its course. However, current projections are looking at a loss of between $500,000 and $2 million," Clark said.
It is not financially ruinous, but "our reserves will take a hit and that impacts future plans".

Covid-19 deaths/million:
Australia - 219.
New Zealand - 28.That stat reinforces how badly NZR has done managing covid, given how relatively little virus there is in NZ.

@kiwi_expat Can't blame the franchises directly. The blame lies with your government and their covid policies and the ninnies who support her. If there are no patrons you are not going to make money. Maybe it is about time businesses in NZ say a big fu to Jacinda and tell people to come and watch the matches if they like and if covid is an issue for someone stay at home and watch on the tele. This always should have been the response.
