It’s far from rubbish. A good dose of realism has been required through all of this. Maybe letting the players know that it wasn’t happening would have meant taking a more authoritative approach and they would have approached other things in life a bit better. There’s a strong possibility that rugby doesn’t take place in 2021 and that’s something that people must prepare for

Taking a balanced view, I always thought the Cup idea would be a non-starter, I believe Rugby will start as usual in September. Reasons, 1) by then everyone over the age of 50 should be fully vaccinated so crowds should be ok, 2) the numbers of people catching the virus will therefore have reduced dramatically (a lot of younger people will already have had it) 3) there will be a surge in opinion to get back to normal (may still require masks on public transport as a precaution - but that may be here for a few years, similar to the Far East) |

Not a surprise
But that’s it for 20/21 See you in Sept, if we are lucky UPDATE: We are disappointed to announce that there will be no official competitive rugby for the semi-professional game this season, after the NCA agreed to cancel the proposed Cup competition. More here: ncarugby.com/announcements |

The NCA meetings this week confirmed that Clubs can play friendly matches in any of the summer months, if they choose to.

Does anyone know if players will need more friendlies given time away from playing?!

I would be surprised if any take place as that would mean players coming in for a version of preseason to play in friendly fixtures. I would have thought it will all be binned and into preseason in July matches in August for September start as by that time according to government roadmap every adult will be vaccinated.
