Premiership Rugby is facing a furious backlash after postponing Sale Shar...

How do we know that Sale players have breached the rules? Saints could not field a front row so had to cancel. Tests may be false positives and still expect the game to be cancelled if the number of Sale positives remain. Yeah, but the main point.... Sale can't field a side on Sunday... so why are ...

Northampton did the right thing. Sale emphatically didn't.

Yes, but why aren't Premier Rugby stepping in and telling Sale to do so?

Castre call off a European quarter final after just 3 tests and have to call off a game 2 weeks later as they're still getting positive tests...

Given that there was no guarantee of more games to broadcast at that point it was a pretty significant vote of confidence from them. I know, my suggestion ...

Pleased it wasn't just me that couldn't work that one out!

Van Wyk won't be eligible to play in Europe as Tigers weren't able to register him whilst he was not in this country!

Does anyone have an insight into how Mike Adamson refs the scrum. Having a Sevens background doesn't bode well

Would imagine he starts off near the 9's

Hypothetically: what would the performance & result have been before lockdown? :smt017 Well a team in 4th vs team in 11th, us without Henry Scott Porter Potter Liebenberg The likes of Steward wouldn't have had a game time the circumstances have given our team may have been.
