[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 1004123, member: 45355"] I think we can all calm down a bit with the NZ bashing COVID is 90% responsible for changes, NZ government 5% as they have effectively shut the boarders and most airlines have said they more than likely wont be flying internationally until mid next year and even if they do its almost certain you'd still have to quarantine for 2 weeks...would the SA players/teams want to effectively have 2 week byes when they came to this side of the world? NZR have mad some f ups for sure but within the constraints given to them, they've tried to be proactive and create a competition that could actually work next year rather than just assuming everything will be back to normal next year They have been quite clear the whole time this is just for 2021, if SA weren't in a position to do something different for one year then thats sad but hardly 100% NZR's fault, they have tried to strong arm Aussie for the trans tasman comp..and theyve stuffed that up, but that has little to do with SA leaving I dont see NZR trying to find a silver lining in COVID to try something different for one year as much different to SA doing what has been rumoured for years and heading north...except we've only tried to make plans for one year rather than throwing everything away pertinently [/QUOTE]
