    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.

    @Unite if the opportunity to play in Qld is after the election, I expect things to change in that space.

    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 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.

    Rennie couldn't have asked for a tougher start to his Wallaby career. It will actually be very interesting to see how the squads/gameplans shift in those 4 games.

    "Robinson said he was pleased with the schedule shift after “constructive dialogue” with Sanzaar and RA but wouldn’t outline exactly what compromise NZR had made.."

    In other words "I'm not going into detail about what a shit sandwich tastes like"

    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.
