As an Irish fan I am a little upset that we finally move to a London Stadium only for fecking covid to spoil the party. That and no double header - my favourite day of the year - well at least until the end of the exile's game Are these going to be empty stadiums, or what?

Evening all,
With the Autumn Nations' Cup kicking off on Friday, I thought we should have a Fantasy pool.
If you've been in the Six Nations one previously, you should get an email. If not, just use the link below.

With social media? No chance
I think we, and they, need to start behaving like adults.Let us say the game kicks off, but TV will not show it until 7.45p.m. Some people can access the result earlier, at 5p.m., say.
So what? It makes sense to kickoff and play the game during daylight hours. Think of the cost of the floodlighting, if nothing else.

I'm pretty sure they have the lights on during daytime matches anyway to improve lighting for the TV cameras, especially in the bigger stadia like Twickenham with high stands?Let us say the game kicks off, but TV will not show it until 7.45p.m. Some people can access the result earlier, at 5p.m., say.

Also, what's with "we and they need to start behaving like adults"? Any adult being paid £10k+ per game should be (and are!) adult enough to play the game whenever they're asked to.

Anybody following The Good Bad Rugby podcasts ? Jason Robinson was the guest this week , fantastic top 15 all time player , but what an inspirational person .
Yep. He seems to carry a few chips on his shoulder for such a remarkably accomplished man though. I can't help but think, from the sliver we get, that if he wants to make peace with Sale, the RFU, etc he could do as it seems he did with his father and make the first move. For his own sake as much as anything else. He's absolutely right that he has a lot to offer and then some, it'd be a shame if he ended his days feeling like there he hadn't given as much as he wanted to.Maybe I'm incorrectly surmising, hopefully he gets a good few phone calls now anyway.
They seem to get some fascinating interviews, Payno proving he's really quite good at this.

"A meeting of the tournament sub-committee on Monday will determine the ‘result’ of the match and how many match points will be allocated to each team in their group table."
