Looking too be a money making test in Washington on the way up north, covid permitting, Vs USA

FedEx Field, in Maryland, the home of the Washington Football team (formerly known as the Redskins) could be ideal. 82,000 stadium, less than 10km from the National Mall.
Nationals Park is the wrong shape for Rugby, RFK is about to be demolished and the Georgetown stadium would too small.

That only works if the whole of the Rugby Championship shifts to Perth. Is NZ about to lose hosting the Tests against SA and Argentina?

SA won't come as they won't have had 500 minutes by then (4x80)
But maybe our stricter training whilst in quarantine requirements have meant that ozzie is preferred

There would be a 3-week gap between Bled 3 and the first RC test against Arg. That is assuming that Arg plays in SA before then.

That’s enough time for the ABs to quarantine for the 2 weeks after Perth.
NZ could still host the Argies and SA. -

NZ could still host the Argies and SA.So we'd only play them once, I guess. While Oz kicks their heels for a fortnight, then they fly to Oz?

@chris But where is the Arg squad at the moment? Still based somewhere in Europe? They might be keener to avoid going to SA altogether.

It looks like that would be what has to happen if it is going to work.
Or with 4 states in lockdown and NSW not looking like coming out of it anytime soon.
Tests v Australia is all we might get. -

@sparky Wellington have their big beer festival (Beervana) at Sky Stadium on the 14th. I highly doubt that will be shifted at such a late stage.
Would they make the test a Sunday match?

Sounds easy. Logistically difficult I'd imagine

Or find an alternative venue for Welly?
I.e., MacLean Park?

Would be awesome! The Magpies v Otago Ranfurly Shield game would be a fantastic curtain raiser. Guaranteed a full house.
