They'll sue China
More like try to sue the WHO and end up sending a letter to David Caruso.

I hope some other union doesn't snap him up

I'm currently watching us fuck the Frogs in France in 2017. Shit we were good. This first half is embarrassingly one sided
-
Jesus I just watched the AB captain take a dive to try and win a penalty. What a disgrace.

Kane Hames is publicly fucking Slimani

Playing the RC in Aust (likely Perth) is still an option according to those on the other side of the ditch. Pleasing sponsors for each of the 4 teams would be messy as you would have to designate one team to be the "home side" in each test so the signage could be changed as required.
And would NZR be keen to have all Bledisloe Cup games in Aust?

I think he's dreaming. A run down motel owner telling everyone the solution to their problems is to book out his premises...

NZ hosting the Rugby Championship this year? Woudl be awesome!
2020 Rugby Championship set to be hosted by New Zealand - Americas Rugby News
The 2020 Rugby Championship is set to be hosted by New Zealand, writes Wayne Smith for The Australian. He notes that Rugby Australia will almost certainly support the possibility to make New Zealand the ‘hub’ to host all matches in this year’s restricted edition of the annual tournament. Argentina...

My guess is that All Blacks season will be a shortened Rugby Championship in NZ in September/October, then heading north for a some internationals in front of empty or near empty stadiums in November.

An ABs home test is part of my Waikato season membership so we would get the ABs vs Argies (again).
I can hear the NZRU now:
'Bovidae's got a season ticket with an AB game - quick, let's schedule one so he can watch'
Just joshing, but it would be awesome if you got one in the Tron. I'd come down again, great stadium. I suspect EP will get a fair number though, with visiting sides
-
Play one test at EP and one at another venue on the same weekend
For example
Week 1 All Blacks Vs Springboks, Eden Park. Australia Vs Argentina, The Tron.
Week 2 All Blacks Vs Argentina, Caketin
Springboks Vs Australia, Eden ParkWeek 3 All Blacks Vs Australia, Eden Park
Springboks Vs Argentina, Dunners. -

I read somewhere this afternoon (I've not been able to find it again), that if this goes ahead, the ABs will only be available for the first three rounds of Mitre 10 Cup.

@nzzp My comment was more about if the RC is hosted in NZ then NZR would probably schedule the AB games as they were to be pre-covid to avoid having to refund any season members from the main test venues. NZ vs Arg was to be played in Hamilton.
All Blacks v Australia, 7.35PM, Saturday 15 August, Sky Stadium, Wellington All Blacks v Argentina, 7.35PM, Saturday 29 August, FMG Stadium Waikato, Hamilton All Blacks v South Africa, 7.35PM, Saturday 5 September, Eden Park AucklandThe other games between Aust, SA and Arg would likely be played at the largest stadiums to maximise revenue for all countries.
