@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.

@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

[MajorPom]

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.

@sparky lol all good there :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

"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..

@nzzp 2010 seemed like a nice round place to start frankly. 6/27 doesnt make it that much better...

So without Cane, Whitelock, Coles, Smith and Mo'unga for the series? Good odds.

@machpants Yeah think I might put a few lazy dollars on SA at $2.70.

Yup they can come in later, and hotel quarantine in QLD for 2 weeks, not going to be ready for a Bok test match straight after that! They could get an exemption, maybe?

[taniwharugby]

We've played the Boks 4 times at neutral venues (ie RWC) havent lost this century (4th game was 99, when we lost)

[Machpants]

So The ABs will travel to QLD no earlier than Friday 10th for their Sat 12th match vs Puma. Therefore they have been in WA for previous 14 days, and don;t have to quarantine. That won't apply to those flying from NZ.
