It's almost like RA and SANZAAR live in another world (one without Covid). The Perth test couldn't even be played. Then why would NZR send the ABs to Perth?I agree that Robinson seems to be bad at dealing with situations like these (including communicating about it), but I don't trust Marinos either. He's at least as incompetent as Robinson, maybe even more incompetent.

Games from France tend to be 9 am NZT. That would be a good time.
Yup Sunday morning drinking, gives you time to recover for back to work Mon AM
EDIT: Only if you stop at lunch time tho!

I'm so sick of all these things playing out in the media. It's fine not to trust Marinos, but there seems to be a common denominator in this poor communication (eg. Silver Lake deal) and it's Robinson.
He seems like a likeable enough guy, he just lacks the competence for the role.

He might, but that's awfully unprofessional of SANZAAR. It's approaching the point where NZR just might be better off not carrying these ungrateful fluffybunnies.

@antipodean it's really just a shame that at a time where we could be building something great with our partners, we're stuck with administrators across the board who get stuck treading water and wasting time on this sort of in-fighting.
I don't see how NZ rugby can lead a sustainable long term existance without at least some of the SANZAAR partners.

Well it seems Marino if pissed with Robinson (which he would be if true) and then did same thing went to media?

I've always thought this, but i am starting to wonder if Aus are an advantage to us at all
Their Super level is shit. The Wallabies are shit. And both have been for a while.
How long do we need to wait for them to get better to be an actual positive for the product?
I have no time for the saffers at all. Happy to play tests, but the rest is too hard, and the whinging too draining.

I don't disagree, but that just leaves us playing with ourselves unless the argies are up for something.
