NRZL pulls out of World Cup

[Philip_Smith007]

Oh great, now my last favourite league team are doing their best to chase me away. Idiots.

If I was him I'd just no vax no play.

There should not be an issue with this, but it has to apply to all nations as part of playing in world cup.

Hundreds (500 I think) of MIQ spots being held for the NZ Olympic team and support staff...

Also I am not happy about that

Chance for England to win it!
Or even Tonga!

Working in a supermarket during a pandemic I'd pull out of the 'work cup' too if I could!

Nice little exemption for the Wallabies too so the precious rugby can get played

Definitely people can exercise their choice…. But the world needs to move forward and if that is indeed a factor then it’s pretty disappointing.
Athletes are privileged in that their worlds have been less affected than many, I understand the Warriors have been away from home but they’re well paid and doing something they love, unlike many in the real world

I remember last year when the comp started up again, players had to have the Vax to enter Qld

In our squad Taupau, AFB and Walker were refusing to have it, Taupau went and got it straight away and the other 2 dragged their heels, think in the end AFB got an exemption and Walker was injured

Aussie players filthy they weren’t consulted about this, and want to go. Interest times ahead
