Someone on Twitter asked Christy Doran the question and he said that like Matt Philip the French team can be shuttled to anywhere on a bus or plane while still in quarantine. EDIT: small correction - I now interpret it as once they complete quarantine they can be bus/planed to wherever.

WB qwerty BTW!

Also unprecedented I think is that no sport team was almost through full quarantine when the lockdown hit.

I assume they’ve all been vaccinated and undergo regular testing. Unless someone in the group turns up with the virus they will sort something.

Yes it would be the same protocols as during the height of covid last year for professional sports you would think.

There’s a pretty good stadium out at Mudgee! In all seriousness though, Coffs Harbour could be an option. Anyone know the ticket sales numbers at this stage?

I wouldn’t trust a Frenchman as far as I could throw one, but they have said they are going to run out their strongest sides for tests 1 and 3. If I were in charge I’d do the same for test 1 and test 2 six days later, except for maybe some 50/50 positions to try to sew up the series, and use...

In fairness to redblack he played a fair bit of #8 at Kings. But he mostly played at 10 and in the centres, he’s clearly a back nowadays.

No we go to 6 first and foremost, that could happen as soon as next year. I’d do that for 2 years then go to 8 for the year of the Lions tour. There would obviously be some TT crossover as well, just not the debacle that we had this year. As for the second part, it’s not only about bringing...

We don’t need Twiggy Forrests. We have a Lions Tour in 25 and then likely hosting the RWC two years later. With proper people in charge the appeal of this will start to bring players back to our shores say from 23 onwards. Add to this the young crop of players and the pathways you allude to in...

The original post was intended as a bit of a shit stir to exemplify our potential lack of experience, and I do agree with you.

Waratahs are happy to make TBC available.

I was thinking that too. White is different, it even made the national news.

Ikitau at 12? No thanks.

That his probably the likely outcome, most have him at 13 as that’s where he’s been playing, but he would be a near shoe in at 12 now. The first one has more risk at half back and equal risk at 12, so I wholeheartedly disagree. 9 McDermott 10 Lolesio 12 Paisami 13 Hodge

9 Lonergan 10 Lolesio 12 Simone if you’re a Brumbies supporter. 9 McDermott 10 Lolesio 12 Foketi if you’re not

I’m not surprised either, as indicated in my post prior to the decision. re Foketi, there seems to a fair bit of discontent about his inclusion in the squad, but IMO he has been the form Australian 12 over the past couple of months and therefore has earned the right to at least be looked at.

I just watched the replay to check my original position and that’s what I’m thinking too. From the side angle you can’t even see the head contact, he was clearly trying to drive him at chest level. It was stupid because the penalty was won and it was after the whistle, Boshier was being an...

I can understand why they are contesting it. Whether it’s 4 or 6 he misses France, and if it’s 6 he can claim a couple of Shute games and in either scenario he’s back for the RC. As for the actual offence, again I can see why they are contesting it, it was stupid but I doubt it meets the red...

Thank fuck that’s over. Mods, can we delete this thread now please?
