All Blacks Tests 2020

World cup full match All Blacks v Springboks with Brit commentary -
Noted by the Rugby Onslaught website - that during the coin toss, All Black captain Kieran Read clearly calls heads before the toss. The coin then lands on heads. Rugby referee Jerome Garces then instantly gives Springbok captain Siya Kolisi the win on the toss despite this.
Kieran Read, noticing the mistake, had to call out the French referee on his blunder, who after being seen to be caught out continued to give Kolisi the choice of sides.

First I've read about the Maori touring Russia before Covid-19 hit.
The NZ Māori may not play a game this year as a result of Covid-19, with coach Clayton McMillan revealing that a two-game tour of Russia was scrapped mid-year while ongoing border closures made it nigh on impossible to arrange other fixtures. “The original plan was that the team was going to venture up to Russia in July, that normal test window we've been fortunate enough to play in for the past couple of years, but obviously with Covid-19 that all got canned,” McMillan told Stuff on Thursday. -
Here's the article about the canned Maori ABs tour.

Is he really that dense?
Does he not understand the concept of revenue?
I've not been made party to the conversations, but there's no reason why the All Blacks couldn't come here stay in a hotel to self-isolate and play five and six test matches across the autumn."https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12356075

Fucking great idea, I agree, as long as
A. they can guarantee crowds
B. they share revenue 50-50.We'd actually end up financially better off than we would with 3 games against Wales at home!
But really. What a knob

This article contradicts what has been reported in the NZ media.
Queensland, Sydney and Perth are set to battle it out for hosting rights to the opening Bledisloe Cup test under dual contingencies being worked up by Rugby Australia. Melbourne was due to host the first test on October 10 at Marvel Stadium, with Suncorp lined up for the second on October 17. -
Ian Foster reveals the game the All Blacks wanted to play instead of the North v South match
Head coach Ian Foster has revealed multiple teams turned down invitations to take on the All Blacks.
The All Blacks’ first match of the year, against a Moana Pacific side at Mt Smart Stadium on October 3, is expected to be confirmed next week, but Foster divulged they had hoped to schedule an official test in the window between the end of Super Rugby Aotearoa and the start of the Mitre 10 Cup – only for nations to turn down their approaches.

Increasingly looks like no All Blacks tests until July 2021 at best.
On top of the FOUR international games that most of the 6 Nations teams have already played in 2020. They will play NINE more international games before then. This is a self-imposed exile from international Rugby.
You can't blame the sponsors if their money drifts away to teams that actually play.

Bugger, What are the Frenchies up to then?
The 8 Nations tournament in November. Four tests.
The 6 Nations tournament in February/March 2021. Five tests.
Meanwhile, NO ALL BLACKS tests are scheduled.
Then touring Oz in July 2021.

I'll put this in here.
Welcome to the Warriors' and Phoenix's world...
A couple of important points:
RA is open to welcoming families into the Australian team's inner sanctum during camps for two possible Bledisloe weeks. Tests are likely on October 10 and 17, and there is also a proposed eight-week tour of New Zealand where the Wallabies, All Blacks, Springboks and Pumas will form a bubble and play six games in six weeks.The first game in New Zealand is pencilled in on November 7 and the last on December 12. The later date could prove problematic for players as they may still be in quarantine on Christmas Day when they return to Australia.RA hopes to confirm Bledisloe fixtures by the end of next week. -

Foster is going to have a great record
It could be played none, won none, lost none, the way things are going.
