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

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..

Pack everything up. Last one out turn off the lights.
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-36320Or 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.

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. -

Tasmania? I’d fly back for that!

Australia has suspended quarantine free travel from New Zealand until at least next Monday.
Any person flying from New Zealand to Australia will need to undergo 14 days in hotel quarantine. The pause is set to be reviewed in the next 24 hours.
That comes after Perth - the All Blacks' destination for the third Bledisloe Cup test next week - paused their arrangement with New Zealand yesterday.
The Western Australian government on Wednesday announced travellers from New Zealand would be required to self-quarantine for 14 days.

The decision to try to play games in multiple countries was stupid as hell, as the arrangement was very fragile. Just settle on one place and play everything there as a tournament.

I can understand it - the $$$ are too much to not try; what is important is the fallback position when it goes pear shaped.
