@ACT-Crusader doona? Away with your Australian slang.

Sorry bro, too many pollies over here have been ‘under the doona’ with their handling of Covid...

@akan004 they don't fly until Sunday.

True but what if there are new cases on Friday or Saturday? My post was made with the assumption that we will see more new cases over the next few days.

I think it's about a COVID hotspot.

the Australian Government is defining a hotspot using a three-day rolling average of three locally acquired cases per day.

so it's not 3 days of no cases - its 3 days of a rolling average under 3 is the goal.

I reckon NZRU would be liaising with health officials regularly to see whether they would need to fly out earlier if there might be an issue with transmission.

The refs have been named for the 3N. They are sharing the love around in the Bledisloe Cup games.

@Bovidae I checked the WR website this afternoon and the ref appointments hadn't been published, yet. They read the Fern!

@Stargazer Published this morning Dublin time by the looks of it. As expected though.

Argentina's forced to postpone warm-up clash against Waratahs as Tri Nations preparations take another hit

Argentina have postponed their friendly against the NSW Waratahs after a host of their players complained of niggling muscle injuries.

[Derpus]

13 European based Argentines in quarantine training. Set to be available 2 november. Warm up against Tahs going ahead Friday.

He hasn't grown much.

By the current standings it looks pretty fucken hard for the Wallabies to win, we would need to lose a game and not get too many bonus points. Or maybe we win both and get no bonus points and the Wallabies win both with 2 bonus points and score a shitload of points.

[Bovidae]

We will know next week which players won't be involved in the last game against Argentina.

@Bovidae I guess they have X number of return quarantine chits on day Y, probably have to send them even with an injury crisis!

@Machpants people are afraid of owning things that haven't gone well

whats so hard about "jeez, I learnt a lot, some of the stuff we tried didn't pay off like we wanted. some of those we're going to persist with because we really think they'll work, some of the others we're going to change up next year, plenty to work on"

that would at least make it look like he watched the games

Or learnt something, which has been my complaint with him all along.

FFS indeed.

It wasn't 1998 level, but that was a bad season.
