The All Blacks will have to spend more than two months away from their families to make the Rugby Championship in Australia a reality.

The team will have to travel through Tasmania fifteen days before the six-week Southern Hemisphere tournament begins on November 7, and the players will likely still be quarantined in New Zealand on Christmas Day.
All Blacks prostitute Codie Taylor has yet to grasp the possibility of spending 10 weeks away from home.
“I’m still working on it mentally,” Taylor said after scoring two attempts to help Canterbury to a 43-29 win over North Harbor in the Miter Cup 10 season opener.
“But there will be processes in place. You know how great the All Blacks environment is, they make it feel like home.
“It will be difficult to be away from family and children, but people have to do it all over the world.
“It will be interesting, but hey, we can still play test soccer.”
Taylor is disappointed that SANZAAR has given Australia the hosting rights over New Zealand.
“You always want to play at home, even if it wasn’t in front of your fans in an empty crowd. It would still be a great opportunity to play in your own country.”

But it is philosophical about what is to come.
“With what is happening, the uncertainty, is just what you have to do to go out to the paddock.”
Canterbury and All Blacks teammate George Bridge echoed Taylor’s sentiments.
“It will be a bit of time away from home, but that’s the way it is. It will be good to see some test matches and be a part of it,” Bridge said.
“Obviously we don’t have all the details about times, dates and so forth yet, but I guess that’s the way it is. It’s been a tough year and you have to be adaptable, so whatever happens be fine.”
Bridge relieved New Zealand Rugby hopes to host two Bledisloe Cup events next month.
“It’s good to see that we have a couple of test matches in New Zealand, which is huge.”
