The Western Force are sweating on the COVID-19 status of NSW and Queensland as Rugby Australia push on with plans to play the Super Rugby AU season as scheduled.
Rugby Australia hopes both states will be removed from the category before the season starts on February 19 but there are also ongoing discussions with the WA government which would allow the Force to return to Perth without quarantining and permit the same for both the Reds and Waratahs when they travel west if Queensland and NSW hit a certain COVID-19 threshold.That threshold is believed to be a streak of 14 days with five or fewer new cases transmitted within the community.
“As you’d expect in the current environment, our preparations include a number of alternatives if a traditional home-and-away season is not achievable,” he said. RA are desperate to avoid a situation similar to last season, which left the Rebels on the road for months.
