Flying into Brisbane on game day will be a bit of a pain in the ass and a disadvantage.
Going to be fairly warm for that match as well. Already hitting 30 and high 20s most days now.
Yeah very Muggy over here in Brisbane, Storms predicted to be around for next week with high rainfall predicted.

Yeah will probably be muggy as a bitch on game day. Very uncomfortable conditions.
Farked if I'll be there when it's 188 bucks a pop for the crap seats (which to be fair are still pretty good at Suncorp).

TBF it's NSW that's opened up, not Australia.
There's a difference, as around 80 enzedders are wanted for hotel isolation in Vic/WA.
Looks like that hotel quarantine is only WA and other states that are still quarantining everyone (even people from other states). Victoria kicked up a stink about not knowing about the kiwis heading there but they aren’t required to do any isolation.

I would assume the Wallabies will be flying in on game day too. Sort of defeats the purpose otherwise.

@broughie hes a big bloke so im going to say he's quite a bit of food
-
seriously though,Bower's a bloody solid option, strangely plays for otago and the Crusaders, doubt he'll score the match winning try...but his side of the scrum probably wont move
-
@Kiwiwomble not as food as foster, so a ways to go.
But actually no idea, not been mentioned by those who think they know about props that I can remember
-
@Kiwiwomble well that is good to know the scrum won’t move. Can he tackle and break the line or is he another Ben Franks.

So savea is joining later, Sotutu to start bled 3, I guess. Who goes on the bench?
It appears so
"Otago prop Bower and Wellington loose forward Kirifi join the squad as prop and loose forward cover respectively, with prop Joe Moody going through HIA (head injury assessment) protocols and fellow prop Nepo Laulala on paternity leave.
Loose forward Ardie Savea is also on paternity leave. "
