Well they can't play any fixtures in Lansdowne or Olympic stadium from around May onwards so when else are they to play them?

I’m sure the 6 nations games are a massive revenue driver for each organisations annual budget so they would not want to have to be refunding all the ticket sales.

Maybe we’ll have sorted out our form in the meantime too!

What's the thoughts on the Joe Marler cock grab incident in the Wales v England game? I've seen some people call it sexual assault and Gareth Thomas has apologised for the joke he made about it whilst on punditry duty. 


What was the joke? 

I personally thought he reached for the low hanging fruit (ooh matron!) with the gag but it was still amusing. He got hammered for making light of sexual assault which seems way OTT to me. 


Is that it? A tweak? 

In my day you could bugger a lad senseless in the scrum, and after the game all have a good josh about it. 
It would damage this forums' reputation

Rugby has tiny TV revenue, ticket sales are far more important than they are in football. They won't leave that €5m on the table to play it behind closed doors.

Looks like they have no choice. The 6N is being finished this month with no fans at the games.

I assume the international matches later in the year will be the same.

Even for the 2021 6N I can’t see fans at the game. That’s only 5 months away.

Need a big points win today.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow night. 

Can't see Ireland scoring the four tries needed though. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Was the Italian Game last week not significant enough to get a few replies here?

I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes.

Yeah it will be difficult to get the bonus points but beating France is the first priority. 

We need Italy to keep the English score down - anything over 30 and we are goosed.

Italy did us a favour there. Win by 7 tonight and that'll be enough!

Win by  7 or with a bonus point.

If we want to live dangerous win by 6 whilst scoring a try.

Would a 6 point win without a try not be enough if we score at least 17 points?
