It is true Australia is shaping as favourite to host the Rugby Championship, but those who are somehow blaming the NZ Government really need to get off the flavor aid.
New Zealand Rugby tried to hold a gun to the head of the other SANZAAR nations. Is anyone surprised those ‘partners’ don’t feel they owe NZ anything?
And quite aside from the politics of SANZAAR, if teams are to be given a chance to fully train and prepare, then Australia’s current quarantine rules allow that to happen. New Zealand’s don’t.
We’re talking about a 5-6 week competition here. Decisions on where that takes place should be based on what is possible now rather than what might be possible in two months. Teams must be able to plan.
