Have yourselves an isolated Christmas

And that’s something I hope the All Blacks don’t end up doing due to the actions of our September 2020 inductees to the Sick Phoque Club, Rugby Australia. New Zealand Rugby is fuming after last week’s announcement of the Rugby Championship schedule that has the All Blacks playing their last match in Australia on Saturday, December 12, which is a change from original planning. The last scheduled clash against the Wallabies means players and staff will be stuck in 14-day managed isolation over Christmas, a situation NZR were hoping to avoid. This shit has been going on in trans-Tasman sport since Trevor Chappell bowled underarm in 1981, and unless NZR take a stand, then this bullying on the part of the green and gold will just continue. I would be more than happy to just forfeit the last game to get the boys home for Christmas if it comes to that.
