[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1004206, member: 40658"] Some of the articles was originally written on other sites. such as the Sydney Morning Herald, and most of those articles are on several media outlets available. So it's not really a case of biasness, apart from the opinion pieces. And I do understand your devout loyalty towards your home nation and what they have done. But from an outsider looking in, and all the reports floating around, and even your own submission that they made some bad calls, it all points to the NZRU administrators being the guys in the naughty chair. When a SARU executive tells the media in a press conference that decisions were made "elsewhere" that influenced their decision to open discussions with the NH, it tells you that their hand was forced. It's not a conspiracy theory, or a thumbsucking story, that's what happened. Nobody had any issues with SA, NZ and Aus having their own domestic competitions in 2020. And we will know by the end of this week whether or not SA will join NZ and Aus for the RC in Australia. The issue is 2021 and further on. Even with the pandemic still alive and kicking, everyone now knows how to properly manage it, and sports tournaments all over the world, where international travel is taking place, is going on. Just not in front of a crowd. So why was it necessary for NZ to make such a hasty decision so early on? And why was it necessary that this decision is causing so much animosity with their counterparts. Australian Rugby Administrators talking about the NZ administrators not respecting them. While the SA administrators have been keeping quiet with their opinions on how the discussions went with NZ, and if any bad words were sent to one another. And yet, nowhere, will you find articles where SA, Argentina, or even Australia are being bad mouthed by the NZ press. So do we automatically assume, these countries weren't in the wrong? are all the reports then true about the big nasty NZ guys? [/QUOTE]
