Anyone with some inside knowledge know wth is happening? Yakstorm?
Literally 2 months and possibly 1 week to kick off and nothing. Like i can’t find a thing. Zilch. Nada. At worst it should be heavily promoted straight after SOO3…
I only know bits and pieces. Scheduled to kick off October 12 and run for 4 weeks.
Australia/NZ/Tonga in the Cup
PNG/Fiji/Cook Islands in the Bowl
There will be concurrent Women's matches, though like last year, they will be more disorganised messes then a proper tournament.
Jillaroos & Kiwi Ferns will play each other twice. Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, PNG & Cook Islands Women will each play at least 1 Test.
Australia v New Zealand pool game is scheduled for Christchurch, which is extremely underwhelming and caps the potential crowd to 16K.
I've heard Mt Smart & Hamilton for NZ v Tonga.
Fiji, as per last year's AusSports announcement, will host games for the Bowl.
