2020 Rugby Championship in Oz
-
Starting a thread to discuss the upcoming RC, more generically than the specific ABs tests 2020.
Checks can't join Arg from within Oz, as it stands. But the key point is at least Argentina are on their way. So that's just SA to confirm participation, and ABs to sort out dates
Authorities make Cheika wait to join Pumas in quarantine
Argentina are due to arrive in Sydney on Tuesday and will undergo two weeks quarantine under COVID-19 protocols ahead of the Rugby Championship.

@Unite I reckon the first game wil be a week earlier so ABs v Oz don't play the last weekend. No Quaratine going that way anymore so they don;t need the two weeks off.
Well the first games are in Brisbane, NSW won’t make them quarantine when they land but QLD won’t let them in unless they have done 14 days out of a hotspot, either Canberra or Northern NSW or they do 14 days when they arrive in QLD. Unless they plan on moving these games to NSW.

The 12-match tournament will now be played across seven weeks with Australia’s clash against New Zealand moved from Saturday 12 December to Saturday 31 October at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium.
South Africa’s Test against Argentina on Saturday 12 December has been moved to Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium to close out the tournament.
The remainder of the draw is otherwise unchanged with five straight weeks of doubleheaders beginning at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on Saturday 7 November. Kick-off times have also been confirmed.
The Argentina team has already arrived in Australia and is completing training under strict health regulations, governed by NSW Health and NSW Police. South Africa’s participation remains to be confirmed as the decision is dependent on several factors outside the control of SANZAAR. However, it is a positive sign that the Super Rugby Unlocked tournament kicks-off in South Africa on Friday 9 October.

@Kiwiwomble I just added another quote from the same media release.
-
@Stargazer cheers
i see some people already commenting on the socials about playing the aussies 4 times in a row
-
@Kiwiwomble good way to make sure no one rocks up to any of the RC matches.
-
My mate just got the text for presales which is good as I've been avoiding the RC threads for a bit due to all the hissy fits on all sides.
Hopefully he gets presales for the Bankwest games too.
What is most concerning is that he's a Kiwi who is both a member of Manly and Aussie Rugby.

@Crucial Most likely
To be backed into that corner and have to avoid a fight with the NZRPA and players was incompetent.
Robinson is looking as average off field as he was on so far.
