It’s a daytime test so you can get smashed with the boys in the arvo, then take her out.
Yep shout her to one of those Spa things for a couple of hours and KOB's plan will work a beauty!

I don't give a monkeys what the Warriors did in Australia, for f**** sake there are people going bankrupt and losing businesses here and NZ because of this f***ing virus, and people are wanting other countries to throw out their quarantine so a game of rugby can go ahead, sorry mate, I agree you try a few things but if you think that is the way that is needed, I think it time to scrap whole bloody thing!
I just had a look at some of the posts here and other boards, headlines etc and have decided that there a fair few people need to wake up and realise how stupid it all is. We can't play a game if we have to quarantine for 3 days FFS!!
And you using the European case where it is rampant? You serious you want us like that? Really?

Dan, I'm getting a bit tired reading your continual excuses for what is happening with NZ and NZRU.
To minimise the situation, as you have, to say that only three days will be lost to training is disingenuous to say the least, and bordering on disrespect for the situation rugby is in in this country. We have what will be largely a new test team, and under an entirely new coaching regime. This team will need to have as much time together as possible to do credit to themselves, the coaches and the country. They will not be able to train together after three days, as you are insinuating, under the existing NZ COVID protocols. They might get a week or less together before the first test, and that is simply not enough.
Blame your Government if you like (I will add that I think Jacinda has done a good job over the duration of the virus), but it is what it is. You say you want to see competitive teams from South Africa and Argentina, or no tournament at all, but insist that the Wallabies don't need more than a few days to be competitive with your precious ABs.
On what planet is this anyone else's fault apart from Rugby Australia Inc?We have what will be largely a new test team, and under an entirely new coaching regime. This team will need to have as much time together as possible to do credit to themselves, the coaches and the country.
News24 said:The season will resume on 26 September with a double-header at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria, when the Bulls take on the Sharks, and the Lions battle the Stormers on Super Fan Saturday.
But it's the Springbok Showdown, a unique match that will pit the best local stars and top, up-and-coming talent against each other on 3 October that will have the fans talking.
Springbok assistant coaches Mzwandile Stick and Deon Davids will coach Springbok Green versus Springbok Gold for the match at Newlands in Cape Town with Rassie Erasmus (director of rugby) and Jacques Nienaber (Springbok coach) acting as the two team commissioners.
The selection process will take the form of a draft pick from an enlarged squad of 60 players with Green and Gold team bosses taking alternate turns in an old-style ‘school yard pick’ to assemble their match-day squads of 25 players each.
Its kind of amazing Sale Sharks have 7 Boks

I'm thinking bokke will send a team but won't include any NH-based players. Which may not be entirely a bad thing for developing depth long-term.
I think we will be there. International travel has been opened tonight (limited and strict travel regulations).
Sale Sharks have comitted to release 7 Boks, but will only do so when international calendar opens, presumably.
What do you blokes think about the "schoolyard prick" draft for Rassie v Nienaber for the Springbok Showdown in two-and-a-half weeks time?Not clear what happens with the Japan players who are sitting idle. Like Marx and Kwagga. Ulrich?
Pretty sure you meant “Schoolyard pick” but they shouldn’t have trouble finding a few pricks for that squad.What do you blokes think about the "schoolyard prick" draft for Rassie v Nienaber for the Springbok Showdown in two-and-a-half weeks time?
It's got my interest!
