Itās great to see Greenpeace fronting up with bucketloads of cash for the Nzru to back up their anti-new sponsor campaign. In this modern age itās good to see actions still speak louder than words (or tweets).

Funny how theyāre trying to push the sustainability of a huge petro-chemical Co in the statement.

Aren't INEOS a really big player in pharma and renewable energy as well?
At least the logo is the right colour and doesn't clash much.

Edited to add that I missed TJ in your post. I now see he's there. That's what happens if you forget spaces

NZR last week 'we'll have an update on Bled 2 by the end of the week'
FFS some of us have flights and hotels to cancel!
@machpants ffs, how long does it take to make a decision. I've got tickets to the match on the 28th so will be good to know if I need to re-purchase these at an earlier date or get a refund.

Interesting that Papali'i was mentioned in that list
I think most people are predicting a Savea/Jacobson/Ioane backrow. So the bench spot for the first Bledisloe is basically between Sotutu and Blackadder now
Blackadder can sub on in all three positions. Sotutu is only an eight and Jacobson can cover 6&7. Maybe that makes Blackadder more likely

According to Foster that are all under done for test Rugby ATM.

Foster confirmed props Joe Moody and Ofa Tuungafasi were his only players definitely out for Saturday, with Moody slated for a return via provincial football and Tuāungafasi still getting back up to speed after knee surgery.

But Foster said the uncertainty, and likelihood his teamās move to Australia for Bledisloe III would be a long-term one
Wait, what? The same Australia with half the population in lockdown?

Yup, they're heading to Perth (not in lockdown) because SA and Arg are already booked into Oz quarantine under their less restrictive regime. Same as last year. Previously, with the bubble it wouldn't have been a problem - SA and Arg train in their bubble for 2 weeks in Oz whilst the Bled is played, then could play Arg v NZ and SA v Oz x2 each, then swapsies. That can't happen now, there is no capacity or desire for the teams to quarantine under the NZ regime. So it is either cancel or play in Oz. The hope (dream really) is that after 2 bled in NZ, 1 bled in Oz, then NZ play Arg in Oz x2, the bubble will be open to allow both SA and NZ back in to play the last two games. But really, fat chance of the bubble being back by then, so it will likely be all in Oz. Then the ABs will not go back home before heading to USA (last SA test 2 Oct, 23 Oct USA) - unless the ABs can find space and quarantine for 2 weeks to see the families for a couple of days - then off to USA. I wonder if some will say Yeah Nah to the NH tour because of it
In Oz for 21 Aug and back just in time for Xmas after quarantine. Mmmmm. NH didn't come down here so just go to USA, make money, come home for the team likely too.
