I agree, but it doesn’t say anywhere that NZ have to agree to it as well, only that it might be discussed. It would make sense if NZ did it as well though, particularly if it becomes a pure TT/Pacfic comp.

The article was actually citing the reverse, Aussies playing in NZ. As you were though.

Rumour has it that her links were with someone pretty high up at RUPA, not the RA boardroom

If he’s just tested positive then likely he’s had it for less than a week. However at the very least whoever Essendon played last week should be quarantined and tested as well (assuming he was on the field).

Are the rugby players in a bubble like the NRL players were? Force are moving to Parra I think, probably wouldn't be silly for the Rebels to move to Illawarra or Newcastle.

Victoria just tightened Covid restrictions plus an AFL player just returned a positive

or d) Beale is leaving

2 wins and a draw will do

Yes, all good points. Pie in the sky stuff.

Whilst I understand the sentiment of your post and it gave me a good laugh, nothing was ever obviously going to happen without RA being involved.

Alan Jones' article this morning is as usual mostly garbage, however one thing he proposed that I liked the sound of, just for this year, is the Wallabies do a 3 test tour of NZ just like the old days. Or alternatively NZ tour here. If the latter were to occur the mid-week games could be...

No I don't think there's anything in it, I just think it's the governing bodies saying 'leave it to us, we're onto it'.

And hopefully there will be incentives in there if the new improved format leads to a significant increase in viewer numbers.

Some snippets from this morning’s Oz: - Broncos CEO Paul White is off contract this year and has been approached for the RA gig. Saracens are also chasing him - today’s Zoom meeting with all the super franchises has been canned after the media got wind of it. A TT comp is not off the table but...

This one seems to have slipped through to the keeper, it’s Cheika and Byrne putting the boot into MOC’s comments, it’s a fair bit juicier than the one posted from the Oz earlier today...

That's probably it, although it's the same thing, just with the benefit of hindsight.

Cheika returns serve:

The contracts are being drawn up but he can’t legally sign until August 1, so there is effectively a 6 week cooling off period. My boys tell me he openly says he prefers rugby so hopefully RA keep dangling that Olympic 7s carrot.

There are players you could make a case for, but none are of the caliber of our former world class players. As Cyclo said they’re all great players but world class is a different argument. After I wrote the comment last night I realised that the other player of ours who may have made a World...
