The NRL and AFL have already recommenced their seasons and have done similar things with fly-in, fly-out schedules on game day - something Waratahs coach Rob Penney has noted. "The Parramatta Eels did the same in Queensland against the Broncos and played outstandingly well," Penney said. "The last thing you would want is to use it as an excuse. We’re well aware of it, we’re planning it and the boys know what is required. It’s just a matter of getting your head around it as a player and preparing in a way that is not compromised in any way.
NSW will take three spare players - a front-rower, back-rower and most likely a utility back - in case there is any late issues., players will drop off their gear at the change rooms, which will then be properly cleaned before the squad returns later.
