@junior no. I am bored with the regularity at which we play them.

Fair enough.

How much of that has been driven by the fairly regular towellings we've given them in NZ over the last, say, 10 years?

Have you got more satisfaction from the times we've played them in RSA (because I have)?

[raznomore]

@junior absolutely. It’s like a different prospect altogether playing them there.

Ah right.

I was referring to the topic not the opinion.

All trials in the UK involving spectators returning to stadiums are now suspended. The reminder of the 6 Nations and the 8 Nations tournament to happen behind closed doors.

Ouch. See, Martin Johnson, fuck off with your NH tour idiocy.

I can't see us getting SA or even Arg successfully too Oz. SA won't come and Arg will test positive somewhere. But at least we'll get the 4 Bleds in with crowds

Wouldn't it save print space if they just reported when he was fit?

PRL also already had the same idea. Whether that makes it a bigger or smaller shit fight, I'd have no idea.
