The way Covid Infection is increasing here is alarming. Don't blame Aussies and NZ at all. I think they are seeing the bigger picture OK. I wouldn't assume other Countries will want to come either.
I’d be very surprised now if NRL based Tonga/Samoa/Fiji/PNG even Eng, Wal & Sco players in the NRL (whether heritage or those that have moved out there) will be coming over. NRL clubs will now put pressure on them to stay at home.
I don’t see the point in having a World Cup without the worlds best players. Whatever the rights and wrongs are of Aus & NZ not coming over, for the sake of the integrity of the competition, it needs to be pushed to 2022.
