What happens if the covid situation in NSW is not under control? Does WA and QLD have the same quarantine facilities?
It was mentioned that the NSW facilities were ok for all of Oz, as in they don't count as being in NSW for inter state restrictions
But they still wouldn't be able to play in Sydney.
No the games will be elsewhere, Perth probably!

Hope NZR pisses off Hansen by delaying the extension decision for Foster until Sunday 14th November.

2022 Northern Tour - now three matches confirmed (I think):
So I think we've now got these confirmed (by the hosting nations, not by NZR) - times are NZT:
Sunday 6 November 2022 - 4.15am - Principality Stadium, Cardiff
Wales v New Zealand
Monday 14 November 2022 - 2.15am - Murrayfield, Edinburgh
Scotland v New Zealand
Sunday 20 November 2022 - TBC - Twickenham, London
England v New Zealand -
The article below is a month late, because the Wales v ABs test was already confirmed, but this is the first time I see this mentioned (although I suspected it):
Ian Foster's side are expected to play Japan in Tokyo en route to Wales and Scotland, before finishing the year with a headline test against Eddie Jone's England at Twickenham on November 19.

I'm hearing Sky Stadium is almost sold out for the Ireland test and likewise for Eden Park. Bit surprising this far out but good all the same.
Good to hear. A fair amount of that might be visiting Irish support.
To be honest, it always surprises me when All Blacks Tests against quality opposition aren't sold out. Who wouldn't want to see one of the greatest sports teams in the world do battle with their foes?

A lot of people with strong Irish ancestry/connections here in NZ.

I'm going to the Irish club before the game, just down the road at Eden Park. I'm not Irish, but my mate is.
Not sure potato jokes will go down well, or the 'call me when you get a semi' ... so any more PC jokes or banter welcomed

Good idea and I think I'll go to this one. Given how many Boks fans have swapped RSA for South London this will almost be an away came against the Old Foe. We will juat have to shout louder than them. Go Black!

The womans soccer forcing the game away from Eden Park
The Saffa's hardly ever play at Eden Park. Their last test there was 2013. They've only played there 3 times this century
ABs v Boks at Eden Park
