    So, indication it restarts mid-May (training). Hope just for final phase, and not annihilating our European play-off vs Dragons

    Not sure it’s any indication I’d say it’s more he hopes to be back for it, I’d be surprised at this stage of the league isn’t just done.

    Yeah - very sensible what was done with the soccer Euro 2020 championship - it's now the Euro 2021 championship.

    All Rugby in Europe should be now declared over for this season.

    UEFA have postponed their finals, CL final was down for May 30th.

    Rugby season is done IMO

    French clubs.

    Italy is losing ~600 citizens a day for the last week

    Pro14 is a cross border competition. Expect travel restrictions

    Dublin marathon race series 10km at the end of July was pushed back to November.

    French clubs would sell their grannies for the right price. The PRO 14 has already set what needs to happen for the league to restart and we’re nowhere near that at the minute.

    No official health people says ok for the basis of rugby being back in May
    But that's an hypothesis, and there's no certainty of how things evolve

    Connachta and Burkie, we've had this out before. That's enough now.

    Anyone know if the renewal dates for season tickets will be extended in light of the ongoing situation?

    I was wondering this too and whether they would:

    a) refund current season ticket holders for matches this season not played (unlikely) or

    b) give the refund in a form of a discount off next year's season ticket.

    And what is the situation regarding individual ticket buyers for the rest of this season's matches? I know that they are not on sale now, but what if you had bought one already?

    I presume they have unofficially postponed it. No word back since the early bird was opened.

    Interesting read. Not hard to deduce who didn't rate him, seems mad in retrospect. As far as I remember everyone on here was gutted that he was leaving at the time.

    TBH he wasn't performing with either Grenoble or Bristol. It was maybe the right time to let him go, except a 1-year deal with salary drop...

    Guessing Darragh Leader might be on the way out? A shame but with the injury record it felt inevitable.

    A lot of unfulfilled potential there, feel the Mulinia signing stunted his growth in hindsight

    Agree on potential but not on Muliaina being cause of it. Leader has had plenty of time since the latter went, unfortunately just hasn’t been able to stay fit.

    That's a pity. You would have to think there is someone lined up to come in. It's bigger the squad needs to get
