All Blacks Tests 2020

@taniwharugby yeah, I would imagine we'll be back at level 1 soonish, few weeks, but no guarantee we'll stay there. This if you look sat Melbourne and Oz say they a hundred percent will be fine, then they're lying
@Machpants yeah there seem no garantees with CV, but I'd say eye-balls seeing bums on seats is much more appealing for SANZAAR than empty stadiums as would be in NZ, as I assume the Govt were not willing to put a date on change of levels?
1 new case today, in Auckland, but still we are at level 2.

Cindy blaming SANZAAR politics for Australia getting it. Typical of her, blaming everyone else but her government.

Her lockdown rules fucking over the All Blacks should be a vote winner

Not sure that she realises that 23 of the most popular people in the country aren't politicians. Actually parliament probably come in just ahead of criminals (not to same that they aren't one and the same).

Financial incentives from the Ozzie govts will be the turning point, guaranteed money. Cest la vie, you just got to hope outside can actually fill stadiums, Esp if ABs smash em in the first two Bleds, and for the games without Oz. I reckon they'll struggle

And crowds. If NZ is at level 2 in November then the games will be played in empty stadiums. Not a great look.

Don't politicians do well when the AB's do well?
Ole Cindy will be bricking it with Foster in charge and the AB's away from home. Coupled with potentially losing the bled, because Fozzie.
National could walk this Election....

Yeah. The aussies aren't going to allow teams to be having any more latitude than what we have indicated. It will be $. RA subsidising with borrowed funds to try and keep the game alive.

@Crucial and the governments, state govt already said they will offer incentives to sporting events

So you end up in a pissing contest to get the games.
I dare say that if our govt paid SANZAR to host there would be an outcry of vote buying. If they haven't there's an outcry of 'why didn't you help'.
No win situation really.
If there was a profit element to the country of hosting then they could argue the spend (like Americas Cup) but if just for feel good factor then they would be putting themselves squarely in Judith's sights. -

and confirmed, so early Nov, hopefully NPC teams keep thier ABs for at least 4 rounds (3/4th October)

@taniwharugby Bledisloe in early October so I doubt that will happen.
@akan004 oh I missed that, I was just looking at the early November TRC dates

Apparently the Bledisloe games in NZ will be most likely held on the 17th and 24th of October so you may be right, they could leave the ABs in the NPC till early October. I guess it depends on how much time Foster thinks he needs to prepare the team.
-
I'll start with the good news:
Delighted that there will be ABs tests in 2020.
Pleased that the Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship are going ahead.
Looking forward to the AB-Boks in particular and our young players getting the chance to challenge the World Champions.Disappointed:
How long this has taken to organise.
The RC is happening in NSW not NZ.
There are only going to be two Tests in NZ in 2020 rather than the 6 scheduled at the start of the year. This will hurt NZR revenues significantly.
