Interesting that finish date is 12 December - that means Quarantine for Xmas for a lot of the ABs (some might get sent home early?)
I think they have cut a deal around returning quarantine so they won't be in a hotel over Christmas.
Rugby in the cricket season....

rugby has been encroaching on the cricket season for years, particularly on the other side of the New Year, so inevitable they take a chunk of this side too

is it kind of weird to play everyone twice...i always kind of thought you did that for home and away to even things out...but 3 of the four teams are away....obviously just trying to get more games...but still a bit weird and not sure what kind of crowds they get for multiple games like Nz v RSA or Arg

They are all double headers at the same stadium every weekend.

What the hell is going with NZR?
Is Robinson just a muppet or?
I'd say the muppets are working for SANZAAR. NZR didn't agree to the schedule. It sounds like SANZAAR politics are at play ..

Why do they have to play 4 tests against Aussie anyway? Two in NZ and 1 in Aussie is enough. Just let one of those Bledisloe Cup tests in NZ count for the RC. Problem solved, except the
for that last test.yep. with no sponsor and no broadcast deal, the Wallabies are a play-to-pay exercise

for that last test.I think the issue is the contractual agreement for this year prior to COVID was 1 game in NZ & 2 games in Aus.
That's why Rennie/Aus were looking to walk away from one of the NZ Bledisloes - they are only required to play 1 in NZ this year.
