This is a very interesting article from the Washington Post regarding the different meansures that could be imposed in effrots to manage the outbreak. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

That'd work if a window leading into the Nov Tests eventuates. Frankly I actually think that would be the better format for Super Rugby moving forward regardless.

That's the one. But apparently there's a variant that 3x as effective that the Koreans and Japanese are using.

You wouldn't need to if it proves to be true. They're all sharing information. If it helps in easing symptoms and saves lives we'd have access to everything we need to replicate it pretty quickly.

Apparently the Dutch have identified an anti-body that is showing real promise as well. Not a vaccine but they are from everything I've read far quicker to implement. There's also been some good results with hydroxycoloquine (I think that's the one) when used in South Korea and Japan.

An alternative to running the respective A sides could be combining players from them all to form a 6th squad.

It's reasonable to summise that with the fresh restrictions that it makes continuing travel in GRR will be almost impossible in terms of maintaining a coherent schedule. Just because it's not what many of us wish to be the case doesn't make suggesting it less legitimate. Hopefully, Forrest is...

How am I supposed to know? All I can assume is that if they leave the country they'll have to self isolate if they return. Which will make continuing the season difficult. Which is a pity as I enjoyed what I got to see last night.

What are you on about now?

Yeah. Well with the new isolation protocols just announced which mimic NZs we can safely assume GRR is likely set for the same fate as Super Rugby at this point.

What we can assume is that the NZ isolation protocols effectively rule out the China Lions from competing unless Forrest is prepared to take the hit and accommodate them somewhere here. All the while playing games in empty stadiums. I would hope both groups would be able to at least prviately...

There's actually two Canadian groups one a University (U of Saskatchewan) and another company based in Ottawa City claiming to have vaccines ready for trials now.

The speaks partly to my reasoning for using the NRC as a means of delivering a professional competition that would provide content while maintaining little need to travel externally of our borders. RA should be talking to Forrest's group about this as the ban will effect his competition as much...

Well, as I'm watching the Lautui/Lions games I've just thought of the simplest solution for at the very least Australian teams. Enter the Super Rugby squads into the NRC and play a full home and away season. That'd be 10 games plus finals. Assuming the RC and Bledisloe are cancelled that'll see the best...

Watched two of their games. Not a lot of imports involved actually. In fact, against Tonga A I could only really with confidence say that there was only 1 bloke who wasn't a native born Japanese citizen on the pitch. There may have been another but I really didn't get a good look at him to be...

Not really. I'd imagine they'd only add those who would have otherwise have attended the games.

But you see. The economy.

If everything settles down. In the spring leading into the Nov. window.

Well, I've watched both the original WSR concept and the abridged series last year. So I imagine I'll be at least one of them.

Would be very interested in seeing what value Super Rugby holds at present. Compared to what a theorised jump to GRR would be worth. If it's even remotely close then it should be something we seriously consider.
