A #rugby thread.
1/x I'm living in #Aoteoroa New Zealand, but am a native of the sports-addled USA city of #Boston. I am not as fanatical for the home teams as most of my bruthiznsistiz in that place, but I do enjoy live, in-person stadium sports events very much indeed.

2/x #NZ is one of the only places on the face of the Earth right now where you can attend live, in-person stadium sports events. Specifically, rugby. Specifically, the national team—the world-famous @AllBlacks.
3/x I've been to precisely one rugby game, at @skystadium here in #Wellington, NZ's capital city. I enjoyed it immensely. Yes, it's true, I had little clue what was going on down on the field (pitch?), but it sure seemed exciting, and the other fans seemed thrilled. So, all good.
Some potentially great news for #SuperRugby fans. Rugby Australia is discussing with its Sanzaar partners and the Australian government plans for a Covid-19-free “hub” to host the four-nation Rugby Championship.
Rugby Australia’s interim chief executive, Rob Clarke, said the organisation is in talks about allowing New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina’s teams to enter the country and be based in a “quarantine hub”.
RA is also seeking to firm up a four-Test Bledisloe Cup series with the All Blacks later this year. “There will be an extended Bledisloe Cup and we’re well advanced with our discussions with our New Zealand colleagues on that,” said Clarke.
