Looks like the fate of the 2021 Rugby Championship is in the hands of the Queensland government.


There is a meeting today that will determine whether or not Queensland are prepared to host the remaining Rugby Championship games and whether they can host the Pumas and the Springboks in quarantine while they are still able to train.


The CEO of New Zealand Rugby Players Association (NZRPA) Rob Nichol confirmed that the All Blacks would fly to Perth and play their scheduled game against the Wallabies if the rest of the schedule was confirmed.


If today's talks fail then the UK and SA seem like the only small possibilities but more than likely the tournament will have to be scrapped.

The NZ Herald reports:
"The All Blacks will play the third Bledisloe Cup test in Perth next Saturday, before basing themselves in Queensland for the remainder of the Rugby Championship."

Would the red faced hysterical crybaby on this site please compose himself now. We thank you in advance for your cooperation!

So now New Zealand is deciding if and where the test matches will be held... even in a foreign country, with foreign teams...  Australia is bending over backwards to accommodate them...

So the AB's changed their tune after saying they will not go to Australia for completion of the rugby Championship after all.    Good to hear about that and one can assume the Ausie threa to claim $5 million in damages could have caused the change.
