Over CoVid, or something else ?

Here in the USA< where the situation is worse than the UK, various States are getting ready to play. The referees, on the other hand, are getting...

What is the situation like in France and Ireland?

I'm somewhat presuming this thread is UK centric (my earlier response was about the UK/England anyway! :-) )... are /will they be playing in NZ...

THere is unlikely to be a vaccination for a considerable time - we are still waiting for one for other CV strains eg the common cold. The flu vaccine...

The player in the middle of the ruck unbinds, now the person in front of them is the hindmost player in the ruck, then the player that unbound is the...
