    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

    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.

            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.

              @Crucial no garantee of crowds vs currently allowed crowds will have been a factor.

                They will have to expand the AB squad now. Good news for guys like Josh Ioane etc.

                  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.

                        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.

                            Not sure two games with no crowds would have bought in much less than 6 games with no crowds.

                                @mariner4life AFL Grand final has just been confirmed as 7:30pm (Melbourne time) start. That means it won’t clash with Bledisloe.

                                Happy days.

                                    Commercial Underwriting is the winning phrase, sadly for NZ

                                      @Machpants said in All Blacks Tests 2020:

                                      Nope, is all in the fine print. Training from day three (ish) yes, but not as an entire squad...

                                      At least this "Robinson also confirmed the staging of the Rugby Championship in Australia would not result in a notable revenue hit on New Zealand. “The difference between it being in New Zealand and Australia wasn’t significant, and it’s not a major for us,” he said. However, it was likely they would have to foot the quarantine bill for the team on its arrival back." so there's revenue sharing

                                        And I thought we had clowns running jurisdictions in Australia.

                                          If there wasn't going to be crowds, why do we care so much?
