If games are called off, rather than ruled as 0-0 draws, then Wales can actually still win the competition, by virtue of being the only country able to complete all of their remaining fixtures. :golfclap:

You know the Dragons put in all the effort in the world and can put together some good rugby but when they play garbage it's some special garbage.

Great last few minutes in the Dragons game. 80 mins already gone and Cheethas have a pen. They run it and the Dragons get a pen just inside their half. Davies goes for the posts and misses, the Cheethas run it out. Only for them to give a very kickable pen away and get a yellow card before Davies kicks to win it for the Dragons!!!

Italy - England game to be played behind closed doors now after a decree from the Italian gov. Seems pretty sensible with the rugby supporters of Italy being based mostly in the North.

The article I just read said that basically England aren't taking any chances because they have a 24/7 club environment where you're constantly around others and sharing all facilities. At Saracens that's not the case so they aren't as worried.

However, considering how badly everying has been going for them lately, I would suggest in two weeks Saracens will have most of their team out of action with coronavirus and unable to play any matches.

Thinking about games scheduled to take place, I don't fancy the odds of George North managing all 80 minutes of Saturday conscious. I think they'll be kicking at him (or rather, not kicking at Halfpenny, Williams and Biggar) and asking him to put his brain on the line all game.

Assuming it goes ahead and we aren't all confined to our homes under strict curfew.

Surprise inclusion of the neckless wonder, great chieftain o' the pudding race himself, Duncan Weir on the bench which probably means Townsend thinks Hastings is going to die at the hands of Alldritt or Willemse at some point during the match.

So I was in a coffee shop and Duncan Weir was sitting at the table behind us with some of the Edinburgh players and they were just chatting about stuff and one of them asked 'If you could do one job for a day, any job what would it be, you would have the skills to do the job'. Fighter pilot was popular as was Doctor, Duncan's Estate agent less so.

It was just an incredible conversation, carefully explaining to him that he could be anything and assume he had to skills etc, it didn't matter that he couldn't fly a plane. Dream big pudding man, dream big.

I'm surprised the Dragons/Treviso game is going ahead. mind you having a look at the Dragons team there's a few in there that could get carona and it wouldn't matter too much to the Dragons.

The women's game between Scotland and France has been called off as one of the Scottish players has tested positive for the virus so a bunch of other players/coaching staff are now in isolation.

Scotland - France Women's game is postponed due to one of the Scots testing positive for Covid-19 and seven other players and staff having to self-isolate. Thankfully she's well but needs to be kept isolated.

That trip to Italy two weeks ago probably not the best idea.
