Looks like the Tahs vs Argentina game is this coming Saturday. Tahs squad members and Shute shield players
Plus unused Wallabies squadies, plus Naisarani, Kuridrani and Stewart according to the Aus.
Edit: the SMH article says that is another match which will happen later, but the Aus says it is this weekend. Watch this space I guess
Aw they could have streamed it on Cluch TV or something
I wouldn't put it past SARU to have negotiated that Covid clause 'due to the uncertainty', and then pulled out having no intention of ever turning up in the first place.
I know you guys just love bashing SA for any reason you can find but I do not believe this is the case, having read a lot about what players, ex players and journos have to say.
In Jean de Viller's latest podcast he, Schalk Burger and Handre Pollard speak about ti and from what they are saying the believe the players are just too far off the mark. Pollard felt that the step up would be way too big. Kolisi has come out and said it. I think what has happened is extremely simple. SARU negotiated hoping things would be able to start a month or more earlier in SA but it did not. They negotiated that clause with their worst case in mind. It is called good negotiation.
It is what the agreement is for and if not for COVID they'd be here. Still leaves a bad taste in your mouth because they haven't been upfront or respectful.
Should be a clause in the K that says "will get full payout if can't attend because of COVID-19 and has exhausted all avenues".
Weird they didn't prepare for any other case as well then, as Vermeulen says he wasn't even contacted about potentially flying out in a few days time. It is good negotiation but done in bad faith.

Read my follow on post. You are being completely ignorant to the facts.

Exactly, pricks never intended on coming, nothing more than an elaborate cash grab
If they had there would’ve been dialogue between management and players about leaving the country, even if it’s just “stand by and be ready to go when we say”
