So if the Italy v England game gets postponed.....

Post by ads »

BBC reporting that the Italy v England game is going to be postponed, does this mean we get our players back early?
Could make the Exeter game interesting if we have a full side to put out that has been training together for a couple of weeks...

And will Borthwick be in charge by then as well??

So, from an England perspective, the 6N will not finish next weekend, but at some unspecified date way in the future. Putting on my best doom monger's hat, does that mean we won't be getting Steve Borthwick any time soon? :smt002

We're doomed Captain Mainwaring, doomed I say.

Almost certainly he has agreed a leave date based on the original 6N's game schedule and the fact that subsequently the date of the last game has been postponed shouldn't affect this. There will be a replacement so things simply continue according to the original plan.

When was the last time our board was involved in creating a plan that actually played out successfully? :smt100 :axe: :smt100
No, not that one!

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Who knows if any of the postponed games will be played? The Coronavirus will have the final say at the end of the day.

Jonny May is in hospital looking really unwell - from his wife’s insta - looks like that knock to the face has really caused him some problems :(

That looks post op to me. Maybe the posts about a jaw injury are correct
