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.

Stadiums already booked for NRL on Sat?

[taniwharugby]

@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

NZR media release: https://www.allblacks.com/news/fortinet-rugby-championship-to-be-played-in-queensland/

[Kiwiwomble]

@taniwharugby yeah, a bit sick of reading it

a form and the right combo ABs could destroy them too though

[Bovidae]

The allblacks.com article also says that:

All kick-off times and match order to be confirmed

[KiwiMurph]

Good to get it sorted.

Bring on the footy.

[Unite]

Was hoping at least one of the All Blacks and Springboks games would be at Suncorp.

[Derpus]

@kiwiwomble yeah sounds like bullshit to me. Springboks are 3/24 since 2010 against the ABs, including a match in the RWC they won.

Define "they"? You mean the ABs?

Didn't play 2011
Thrashed them in the semi by 2 points 2015
Beat them in pool play 2019

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.

I hear the **** of *** is on standby.

Editted, I hear the Isle of Wight is on standby.

[mariner4life]

there better be a strong backup plan. Because cases getting in to Qld seems inevitable. And the government will go hard as they always do.

[ARHS]

@sparky Why such a sick joke after the covid tragedy there this month. Can't you be a bit more sensitive...

[canefan]

Marinos and Robinson on 1 news tonight. Snippets only but Robinson refused the opportunity to have a snipe at his aussie counterpart. Marinos reinforced the need to continue to be professional

[MajorRage]

Am I the only one completely unconvinced that this will go ahead?

Outside a Queensland covid outbreak, why wouldn't it?

Governmental rule changes. CAn't leave, can't get back in & yes as you say, Queensland Covid outbreak.

[sparky]

@arhs Wasn't aware that they had a number of Covid deaths recently. Isle of Wight, then.

[ARHS]

@sparky lol all good there

"Outside a Queensland covid outbreak, why wouldn't it?"

Well if Scott Morrison calls Queensland the family from the Croods like he just did Western Australia, all manners of three-fingered banjo-stroking pandemonia might break loose north of the border..
