@Tim said in Super Rugby 2020:
Can anyone find the 1986 Bledisloe Cup game?
Game, as in singular? Weren't there three? And do we want to remember them? One would hope they stay lost.

@booboo There were three, but there's only one that you want to remember. Maybe.
Not sure any if them are worth remembering.

A question: If the NZ comp does go ahead, and that's still a big IF, do we go back to the amateur days of teams travelling by bus? I'm not sure moving sports teams around the country by plane is considered essential travel.

... or charter a plane to transport 45 people. Hell, buy a plane and fly teams aroudn, disinfecting between times
Something liek this perhaps (56 seat capacity)

@nzzp Charter planes would be the only option for rugby and netball for long distance travel if you can avoid the public areas of the main airports.
@Bovidae yep.
The internet provides so much useful information in life.
The bombardier Q300 costs aroudn $USD1500/hour to operate. Costs $17M new. So a weekend of charters (top of my head), transporting two teams away and back would cost about $10k or so (say 6 hours of flying time).
Seems very reasonable; about $100 per person total.

@Daffy-Jaffy It's good to see NZR and Sky coming up with something innovative during this period, but that's not a format I'd be interested in. Perhaps it will be great for a younger generation.
