The things in favour of the NRL and the AFL is that they are domestic competitions, both are thinking of re-starting in May/June with the completion being played in one location once state based 14 day isolation periods are met.
GRR is an international competition and with International travel being non-existent at the moment and also for the foreseeable future they are definitely in a different basket. You do realise that Scott Morrison has said that lockdowns in Australia are most likely to continue until September? The same with the borders being closed? How do you plan an international completion with so much uncertainty? They could try a plan similar to the NRL or the AFL and play it all in one location, perhaps they've put that to the players and they weren't fans of it?
Super Rugby won't be starting anytime soon and by soon I mean months.
The ICC T20 World Cup is currently still scheduled for October but if the borders to the country are still closed closer to the date I guarantee you that it will very much be postponed or canceled because the next T20 World Cup is only 12 months after this years event. BCCI won't give up hosting a World Cup just to accomodate us.

Well worth a listen for good 30mins or more. I think we are in good hands with Mark Evans.
- 8 x GRR teams is still a good possibility for next year. No hints as to who the extra teams maybe, although I think he said there is still a lot of interest from Japan
- GRR 2020 is cancelled, but still possibility of games against the other Super sides later in 2020, depending on health rulings.
- he thinks France and Japan are in best financial shape to come out of this crisis intact. Every other country, in his opinion, are going have re-calibrate their competitions, teams, player numbers and salaries.
Tessman said
- they are doing video analysis of Australian Supper teams, in preparation
- Western Force players are represented by RUPA, but are obviously not involved in the RUPA and RA salary discussions
Supper teams? Person who makes the best tea cake wins?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Is it Spartans birthday?
Trolls don't have birthdays as the were originally "created" by the original Dark Lord Morgoth before the first age. Initially they only inhabited dark smelly subterranean realms, but later ventured out into the world to dwell under bridges or their mummy's basement. Dead set!

maybe his Nanna can take him out of the basement for a Maccas birthday surprise.

Yes, the difference between dinner and supper is a cloudy one. As a young late-nighter, I would have dinner with family in the early evening, but a late supper when I was out with friends or visiting - similar to other residents of the Shire (of Kalamunda that is)
Aragorn: Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall.
Pippin: What about breakfast?
Aragorn: You’ve already had it.
Pippin: We’ve had one, yes. What about second breakfast?
Merry: I don’t think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.
Pippin: What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn’t he?
Merry: I wouldn’t count on it.
