Likely going to see a lot of the good Scottish players moving on with so many contracts up this year and no money to compete with French and English clubs.

Exeter, and by extension, Glasgow games are off next week due to a COVID outbreak in the Exeter camp. Matches are likely to be cancelled entirely because of the shortened format this year.

It overtook the Mauro Bergamasco at 9 match as the most entertaining Italy game, particularly enjoyed the referee just stonewalling the England players when they tried asking him what a ruck was.

"I'm the referee, not the coach." might be the best line from a ref ever.

Shoulder hit straight to the face while charging in to clear out the ruck. No foul, play on.

Not sure I agree with the ref on that one.

BOD and Hartley making excuses for it was shameful too.

I get that momentum is a thing but if the ball is thrown a metre behind the 22 line and is caught 2m in front of it, how in the world of gently caress is that not considered a forward pass?

Oh. Poite is the ref. As you were then.

European championship matches won't be rescheduled, will probably move to a knock out tournament in April/May for the top 4 or top 8 from each pool depending on what happens with the rest of the season.
