I am. They were still in it despite that and making progress. Was hoping they'd get another monkey of their backs.

Are you saying it's from cattle ;)

Should be doable but at any rate the clubs need to be on board (English and French).

Scotland should have a spare weekend in Autumn so shouldn't be an issue.

Sorry but that's BS. We want that spare weekend to be at BT Murrayfield because after the last year we need the fucking money.

It's not BS Scotland don't usually play that weekend and AFAIK have no plans to play that weekend.

Yr Alban wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 4:43 pm The tournament organisers have really fecked this. How come we went into a tournament during a pandemic without clear rules as to what happened in the event of, well, this?

What ought to happen is postponement to a date when both sides will be able to field a full team. This is obviously a problem with a date outside the windows, but the 6N should pay compensation to the clubs to release their players. After all, if the game is a farce, it’s their brand (the most valuable in the game?) that will be devalued as a result. However, I’ve read that it can’t be next weekend because the French team will still be isolating. A match in July really isn’t an option, as the Lions tour guarantees (even with Gatland in charge) that we will be missing at least 3-4 of our best players. And playing the game in the autumn is unlikely to work given that France at least will likely be in the mix for the title.

Dunno what the solution is, but Scotland had better not be shafted because France had an outbreak.

If it went to July and we were still in the hunt for championship then no one should be going on lions. I personally don't support the lions but even if I did, a potential 6N champ is far more important!

I'm not sure the players would feel that way, the Lions is still the pinnacle for them.

True but I think you'd struggle to find a Scotland fan agreeing

The sports minister is now very pissed of. And threatening to suspend the 6 nations.

Quite surprised PRL are willing to do them but good on them! I guess at this stage the RFU have a financial interest in the game being played and France beating us.
