That was weather related. Italy v Scotland in the Women's Six Nations was postponed at the weekend and has still to be rearranged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy v Scotland was due to take place in one of the regions with restrictions so it's not the same as Ireland v Italy. There's no reason why Ireland v Italy couldn't be played behind closed doors, the reason for the postponement is so that the Italian fans don't travel. Of course, if you're Italian and you have non-refundable flights and accommodation booked, what do you do now? You probably go to Dublin anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in that case you are only mingling with a few hundred people in the pun instead of 60,000 at the Aviva! It would be great if they just awarded the points to Italy, can you imagine the tears over that. This better not spread, ive got tickets for Cardiff on the last day - Im torn between will there be a proper tantrum, or would it be celebration at a 2nd weekend in Cardiff as not wanting to waste the tickets! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience of mingling in Dublin of a Saturday night is that it provides more opportunities for disease to spread than any rugby game... You'd think Wales v Scotland should be fine, but God knows how all this develops from here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Postponing makes no sense unless they are cancelling flights from Italy as well. European football continues so I really don't understand why this can't. Sexton would probably demand a red card for Canna infecting him with Corona virus at the first ruck if they did play.

honestly united Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I think its fairly certain the Italy - England game will be called off also so it could throw the whole summer and autumn test series into chaos, unless they schedule the games for outside the window Benetton are already a game down and both italians home games this week are off in the Pro14. They will get a chance to catch up during the Euro Quarters and Semi weekends and there are no league games the weeks of the 7th and 14th, so wont have an impact unless things are still being called off weeks of 28th March, unless the games on the 21st are against one of the teams left in Europe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 They are obviously more physical at the breakdown, but it is pretty hard to clear them when they are hitting and flopping onto our side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
