Rebels 2021

[Adam84]

That would seem pretty draconian considering how low the community transmission numbers have been across Australia.

The cricket is moving about fine

Cricketers are currently confined to their hotel rooms except when they go to train and play.

Having done hotel quarantine myself, I would 100% rather relocate interstate and be allowed to go out in the public rather then be confined to a hotel room for weeks.

And they have moved all BBL matches out of Sydney due to border crossing complications (easy to get in, not easy to get out)

 

[oztimmay]

That's why it makes more sense for NSW to relocate, rather than the Brums/QLD/Rebs relocating.

Either way, I think the Force will need to relocate, given they have a hard border in place.

 

[Rebel man]

Fuck that play in Melbourne. We can’t have another season with no access to our team

 

[Mick The Munch]

How’s it working with soccer?

Let alone what this may mean for trans tasman

Anyone know who Aston ..... is? Referenced in the vid with Steve Cummins as a Rebels training partner in Wagga

Aston Vaiotu, been training with the squad. Not sure if it’s perm or just providing training number because there is a bunch of guys that still haven’t joined the squad. Cabous Eloff for example is still stuck in SA

I just read they have rescheduled all the nsw games to be played over the next month in response to the northern beaches cluster.

 

[Adam84]

Yeah A-League has already rescheduled something like 35 games due to COVID border restrictions, some teams will be playing 2 games a week to make up for the missed games. Rugby doesn’t have that luxury, you can’t play multiple games a week in a contact sport.

Change to Brisbane restrictions today & change to nsw tomorrow apparently. Prob will have to fly in fly out of week one & pass a covid test when after landing back in melb. I would assume the same with the brumbies week 2 with playing us. Im more worried about SRTT. My early prediction it will go ahead all in Australia with possibly a 2nd magic round.

On another note cabous eloff on his socials looks to be back in south africa, if so dont like his chance of getting back in the country let alone for week one lol

Have we finalised our squad? CFS hasn't re-signed with the Reds. Would be a great pick up for us if someone hasn't already.

We are the only team that hasn’t announced squad yet. CFS plays right wing as well which is what we need.

Plus a few argentina signings to confirm or tie up paperwork maybe

5 guys only managed to start with the team today because of NSW border issues

I wonder how they let that happen, because of course they probably knew they would need to lock down wouldnt you have planned to get them back early so that you could all start training together. I know its hard when people want holidays, but I haven't been back home since Covid started.

they moved them out of Sydney a while ago but couldn't get a permit to let them into Vic from Wagga. I wonder if any of the OS players will get VISA's to come and play Super Rugby this year, have any of the Argentinians arrived at the Force or Tahs yet ?

 

[RugbyReg]

yeah - Cubelli, Medrano, Miotti and Lezana are all in Perth
