[QUOTE="unrated, post: 1047589, member: 45773"] Two things bother me one a fact and the other a mere rumour that is yet to be confirmed to me. The fact is that Players were allowed to invite their partners, wives and children into the hotel, and thereby possibly exposing the whole squad to the outside. A rumour that got floated was that the Boks don't enter a hard bubble until 11 July. Until then they are allowed to break the bubble on weekends to visit home. However, I cant see this to be true. it seems an oddly specific one, but ultimately one that would be too unrealistic to comprehend. SARU has mentioned on multiple times that if this tour does not go ahead they will shut up shop, as their financial wellbeing will collapse. If this tour is indeed so valuable to the organisation they will not gamble their future existence by allowing a Rassie and co tradition of inviting players wives and girlfriends of the players to join the camp and risking it by carelessly allowing players to test the trust placed in them by SARU by letting them leave the bubble on weekends. In Covid times the suits will realize that past tradition has no meaning if the organization might fold due to actions that may cause a cancellation of the tour. For that reason, I think that there are malicious forces at play to discredit the efforts of the tour organizers. [/QUOTE]
