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

22-06-2021 06:22PM

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.

Don't make perfect the enemy of good. They help.

pickarooney · 23-06-2021 06:49AM

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

thomond2006 · 23-06-2021 09:57AM

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

23-06-2021 10:22AM

MOD NOTE

There are countless Covid threads n
across boards please use them to talk about it and not here.

sydthebeat · 23-06-2021 10:24AM

^
close to how id like to see them line up (maybe H Byrne for Burns).... but this is more how id expect them to line up

Kilcoyne Herring TOT
Baird Ryan
POM Doris VDF

JGP Carbery
McCloskey Farrell
Stockdale Keenan Larmour

Heffernan, Byrne, Bealham, Dillane, Coombes, Casey, Burns, Daly

Richie_Rich89 · 23-06-2021 11:22AM

I think I would go for:

1. Peter Dooley
2. Rob Herring
3. Martin Moore
4. Quinn Roux
5. James Ryan

7. Peter O'Mahony
8. Caelan Doris
9. John Cooney
10. Joey Carbery
11. Jacob Stockdale
12. Chris Farrell
13. James Hume
14. Robert Baloucoune
15. Hugo Keenan

16. Dan Sheehan
17. David Kilcoyne
18. Tom O'Toole
19. Ryan Baird
20. Gavin Coombes
21. Jamison Gibson-Park

Richie_Rich89 · 23-06-2021 11:28AM

I'm just saying what I would go for. Although I'm not sure whether Roux is actually available.
