I have spoken with a few first team players and they all seemed bouyant considering the restrictive training regime.
They all seem to think that there will be rugby matches this side of Christmas ! . I hope that is correct.

With cases rising, I can't see the Championship Clubs wanting to start a season, as without sponsors and crowds only Ealing and Saracens can operate! Leagues without big TV deals will struggle.

Restrictions on social distancing will be around for a very long time. Cramming into small grounds will not be allowed.
Bedford have an advantage with their partnership and can possibly use the larger ground, Franklins Gardens and still keep the required social distancing. The ground has a 15.000 capacity Will the Blues fans make the trip in enough numbers to make it pay after Northamptons costs or maybe it will be gifted to help the Blues through these next few seasons.

I heard originally the hope was to start this side of Christmas, but since the test crowd events have been postponed they do not see any rugby this side of Christmas.

I very much doubt it! The 2,500 Goldington Road faithfull wouldn't come close to cover the operating costs at Franklin's Gardens, let alone produce a profit for reduced numbers travelling 22 miles up A428. Far better to limit numbers at Goldington Road and keep Admission, Bar Takings, Hospitality etc. |

My club has just been told we can have ten-a-side touch rugby within the club.
There are a number of old fat players who have suddenly discovered that they need to remain shielded. Or start shielding

I posted the details re: Hull FC players testing positive on 'Clubhouse Chat'. With regard to starting a 'tad early', this is a virus so, how would we know when is right? Qualified people tell us this virus could be with us for 30 years! At some point, we will have to live with this and manage the risk like we do with the usual Flu outbreaks. New Zealand are playing because they had no cases. After 102 days of being clear they now have 22 cases, all travellers in quarantine rather than players. On the back of this 'spike' Auckland is going into lock-down. Does that mean Rugby will cease again? Will Hull now go into lock-down? The players with the positive tests may live elsewhere. Will their home towns go into lock-down? The uncertainty and possibilities just grow and grow.

I dont think anyone thought it was all over. They simply took all of the prescribed precautions and thought it was safe to play. Which it was, barring one players visit to a hospital a few days before the match. If we do want to have competitive sport again, we will at some point have to accept that this comes with some risk. The main issue with that is the media's compulsion to play the blame game, hence the delay and uncertainty.

Can't see anything below the premiership before next Christmas nevermind this. Without a vaccine rugby union as we know it may be under threat.

Well training has moved to stage C so they can play touch with up to 10 a side - but not organise inter club matches yet. We are some way behind other sports. Soccer has returned to competitive matches with competition in september. Hockey has announced that full match play can resume and the top leagues start on September 20th with lower divisions folling when clubs are ready. I know the contact nature of rugby makes it different. And I think that is making DCMS cautious. If we are permitted crowds - I assume they will be required to wear masks when not actually drinking.

Well alcohol does kill the virus. Actually even listerine has apparently been shown to reduce viral loads on saliva. So when the other half asks about your late night whiskey

I know they have put Auckland in lockdown, but I would have thought it would just be moved elsewhere. Or maybe Crusaders should win 20-0 as per Premiership rules? It is interesting the approach in NZ - no messing lockdown for 20 cases, if we did that here we would all still be in lockdown |
