    @canefan Perth well WA currently has a 7 day average of zero and they've just implemented special rules for boats attempting to visit.

    Wonder who will be left at home? Assume 30 or so will travel to Perth.

    Rennie reckons the entire rest of the RC will need in Perth, aside from SA v Argentina.
    ABs will drip feed in extra numbers, makes sense. No one has opted out of tour yet.

    All Blacks to leave players at home as difficult trip looms

    Whole thing should be in New Zealand, but perhaps they can sell more tickets in Perth?

    We better hope the ABs already left, or there is no way the God King of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Western Australia is letting them in

    I wonder. I'm tempted to question whether the SA rugby contingent in Perth is over-estimated, but there could be quite a few ex-Kiwis and FIFOs (not sure what they are called now, Quarantine Ins, Quarantine Outs?) keen to show there are no lockdowns in WA..

    Australia and New Zealand are still on the UK s Green list. The final Bledisloe could be played in the UK somewhere if they can charter a plane to bring the players over.

    Doesn't help the Boks or the Pumas though as South Africa and Argentina are on the UK Red list.

    Isle of Man! Isle of Man!
    (Does it even have a rugby ground).
    is France an option? Say, Plouzané, https://www.rugbyworld.com/countries/france-countries/meet-remote-team-france-36320

    Or the Pyrenees (just another mountain to climb clichés).

    Thank you. I see they have a kitchen and a Viking emblem. Next rugby tour sorted.

    McGowan also didn’t think there was much hope that other Rugby Championship games involving Argentina and the Springboks would be held in Perth, which has been mooted as a possibility. “I think it would be unlikely, it’s not our No 1 priority.’’

    Is Qld the only other option in Australia?

    I'd rather the games against the Boks not be played than having them in a neutral venue. The 100th test match should be a big occasion.

    Played in front of at least a home crowd.

    Just do what we did: can the season. Have a break. Play NPC. Whatever

    As I suspected unlikely to play any RC in WA.It could be canned.
    QLD is community covid free, probably best chance to play is here.
    But the NRL is being run out of QLD maybe tough to find Grounds etc.

    At least the Wallabies can look back and say they didn't get swept...
