Yes cross state border travel is already happening in other sports
I found the below
Travel is one of the trickiest issues, with journey between New South Wales and Queensland the greatest concern. For interstate matches, those in the bubbles fly in and out on match days and generally don't have any contact with the public on those days. Venues typically have designated clean zones and venue zones. A clean zone is sanitised and locked down ahead of matches and is only open to squad members in the bubble and a few other essential staff. Everyone entering the clean zone is temperature-tested and will be refused entry if a temperature above a nominated level is recorded.
Queensland has become the nation's sporting hub — is that really safe?
If you're thinking all the sporting teams now based in Queensland are living by a different set of rules to the rest of us, you'd be right — but's that's not a bad thing.

Interesting that finish date is 12 December - that means Quarantine for Xmas for a lot of the ABs (some might get sent home early?)
I think they have cut a deal around returning quarantine so they won't be in a hotel over Christmas.
Rugby in the cricket season....

rugby has been encroaching on the cricket season for years, particularly on the other side of the New Year, so inevitable they take a chunk of this side too

is it kind of weird to play everyone twice...i always kind of thought you did that for home and away to even things out...but 3 of the four teams are away....obviously just trying to get more games...but still a bit weird and not sure what kind of crowds they get for multiple games like Nz v RSA or Arg

They are all double headers at the same stadium every weekend.

What the hell is going with NZR?
Is Robinson just a muppet or?
I'd say the muppets are working for SANZAAR. NZR didn't agree to the schedule. It sounds like SANZAAR politics are at play ..

Why do they have to play 4 tests against Aussie anyway? Two in NZ and 1 in Aussie is enough. Just let one of those Bledisloe Cup tests in NZ count for the RC. Problem solved, except the
for that last test.yep. with no sponsor and no broadcast deal, the Wallabies are a play-to-pay exercise

That's why Rennie/Aus were looking to walk away from one of the NZ Bledisloes - they are only required to play 1 in NZ this year.
