@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. -

On the plus side less hosting expenses.

@Machpants said in All Blacks Tests 2020:
Commercial Underwriting is the winning phrase, sadly for NZ
Nope, is all in the fine print. Training from day three (ish) yes, but not as an entire squad...
Fkn stupidAt 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.
-
I genuinely don't understand why you couldn't have entire squads in their own bubble. What level of bureaucratic intransigence do you have to suggest a bunch of players who fly over together,live in the same hotel can't train together?

@antipodean yeah I agree, one big bubble and if there is one case in it, tough shit for your entire team, game over.
-
You should’t change your rules for anyone. It’s just stupid. Especially for players coming from South Africa and Argentina. If we lost it because we want to be a little more cautious then good call. Though I suspect Jacinda is correct - we got screwed on the politics and the money. The NZRU is running true to form - they screwed up with the arrogant way they handled the Super rugby discussion as well. They may have been right but what did they expect with a throat cutting ultimatum.
-
@Bones they are looking to have crowds, will ge crowd at the Reds game tonight apparently
@taniwharugby yeah exactly, as I understand it there wouldn't be crowds in NZ? Win win.
