There's some people coming out of this with egg on their faces. Marinos obviously and Rennie.

Throw enough shit some of it sticks.
In the minds of fly by night Aussie supporters, AB haters and NZR sceptics all they'll have heard is ABs unilaterally cancelled. Everything that's come out after is detail, and they only need the headlines.
Some interesting reactions to those ZB interviews over the weekend. Heard comment that people were more inclined to believe Rennie over Robinson because of the relative strength of language and assertiveness, including the host Jason Pine. Just one thing on Pine is that he is a soccer man, and his decision to interview Mar Keohane shows either he doesn't know enough about rugby to know that Keo is an irrelevant troll, or, more likely, he does.

Rob Nichol clearly explains NZR's position and what transpired last week. Audio interview at the bottom of the page.

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.
