    Sums it up pretty nicely. Correct decisions, poor execution all round. It does beg the question though, if all parties were privy to discussions, and SA and ARG had already decided not to fly, why had RA not at least warned their stakeholders of what was going on? I got the gist that they suddenly had to tell them in a very time sensitive situation

    Rhetorical question, nicely answered

    Let's hope there isn't an outbreak in Qld or we will likely see the RC cancelled. Would have preferred Europe for that reason.

    At this rate the Olympics will be cancelled

    Interesting the number of Sunday games, I’m used to seeing the Warriors lose on a Sunday so it will make a pleasant change to see a winning team.

    @kiwiwomble been plenty of them on Social Media having a crack at the ABs about being scared to play them....but then we do know a form Bok (or English) team would destroy the ABs
