No United Rugby Championship games on test weekends.

Well that lasted a week.

Regardless of this, the evidence is also overwhelming that outdoor transmission is miniscule. Even the first time round the argument for banning attendance at large events was to restrict in the internal gatherings associated with them moreso than the events themselves. Having only 3k in the Aviva is stupid and not a "test" of anything.

Social distancing and mask wearing really is insignificant when it comes to the spreading of the virus, what matters most of ventilation in buildings so that should be the focus.

Official test weekend

There's a reason why I requested a ban from the covid forums...

Wales are playing New Zealand that weekend too.
The question is, will the players miss the weekend before that test, and I doubt it.
They were always likely to miss the round before the Autumn Internationals anyway.

A bit annoying that Wales are getting a much higher quality of test match than us.

They have Argentina x2 this summer. And they're playing each of the big 3 in November.

Meanwhile we have USA and Japan in the summer

Then USA, Moana Pacifica, Japan and NZ

So from now till next year, we have 1 test v tier 1 opposition and Wales have 5.

I think we will be playing Argentina instead of Japan because Japan agreed to play Scotland the weekend pencilled in for us.

Ah yes. Because why take a few seconds to put a mask on, or stand back a few paces, when we can just renovate all permanent structures to have surgical quality air filtration. Much more practical.

We'll be sending our third team, surely. And it's outside the test window. IRFU are scraping together any penny they can find these days, and this seems like a fairly harmless little nixer.

Yeah because masks and social distancing has helped eradicate covid19…oh wait.

Any chance we can send AJ McGinty to the Olympics and then pick him for Ireland next season?

We can give Solonoa back to the US to make up for it.

Almost two years and some people are still struggling with the basics. Unbelievable

It's nice of one of the Exeter players to grace us with his presence.

Sadly its very believable. I mean this stuff is easy but still somehow a great source of confusion at the same time. Thankfully we have some rugby to look forward to so we don't need to worry about those confused souls.

We're a week out from the 23 for Japan being named. Anyone fancy a crack at guessing the line up?

Kilcoyne Herring TOT
Baird Ryan
Coombes Doris VDF

JGP Carbery
McCloskey Hume
Stockdale Keenan Balacoune

Heffernan, Byrne, Dillane, POM, Casey, Burns, Larmour

And where’s the proof? Peru who have had to worst death rate in the world from covid had the strictest measures of all.

In America Florida and Texas which are completely open as normal have less deaths and cases than NY and California who have very strict measures in place.

You say they help but I’m yet to see the evidence of this?
