Rugby Bores - Six Nations Thread - Avoid If Not Keen On Egg-chasing

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by efcbluepete, Feb 1, 2016.

  1. Looking doubtful I would say. Unfortunately.
     
  2. I read in the French media that the game has been postponed by the tournament organizers.

    Is the French team the only one with players and staff testing positive ? I find it hard to believe, to be honest...
     
  3. This late in the game (no pun intended) no. COVID infections within the home nation teams mostly occurred in the months before the competition started. Andy
     
  4. Are you sure about this Andy? Positive means you are « infected » at the time of the test, if understand correctly. And whoever is positive, whether with symptoms or not, is no longer contaminated after 7 days (or 48hrs after the symptoms disappear).

    Say you are right and French players got infected at home before the beginning of the tournament. Don’t you think Italian and Irish players would be positive after the two games? You share a lot more than punches in rucks and scrums...

  5. A small number of (our) home nations players self isolated over a period before the competition started, my memory is not so good as to remember whether that was a positive test or having been where an infection was reported. Pretty sure all the teams were required to have a minimum of two negative tests prior to competition. I have become so COVID blind, I am not up to date with the progress of other communities outside the UK to attempt to explain how the French players got infected. If their discipline was as shabby as some of the English premier league football players and their families, it would have been only a matter of time. Andy
     
  6. The FFR has them tested every two days since the beginning of the tournament (poor lads...). That « cluster » appeared the week after the game against Ireland. I don’t know how that happened (during the game? After the game?)

    Today, I have the feeling that the more you test people, the more positives you will get. It is so contagious that we are all to be infected. They are just a lot of untested asymptomatic people.
     
  7. Looks like the France Scotland match is now postponed. Domage.

  8. Come on Boyo’s

  9. The Persil boys for the win today.:upyeah:
     
  10. Even the Welsh don’t understand that decision. How was that not a knock on?
     
  11. England playing sixteen men..............there lies the problem.:rolleyes:

  12. He knocked it on with his hand regardless of touching the leg afterwards..........specsavers for the man in black / TMO.:mad:

  13. I thought it had to touch the floor to be a knock on ?
     
  14. No, if the ball’s not under control, it’s a knock on when a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward whether it hits the ground or not
     
  15. What if a player knocks it out of the oppositions hands but then catches it before hitting the ground then runs on ?
     
  16. Past caring now, terrible, truly terrible refereeing but it matters not when you give away 15 penalties & go 16 unanswered in the last 15 minutes :mad:

  17. Agreed, another disappointing game from England, with George Ford kicking the ball away all the time: unamused:, and not a fan of Dan Robson too many mistakes for me.Well done Wales.:upyeah:

  18. England were uadulterated crap, needless penalty after needles penalty. It is most definitely time for Eddie Jones to go along with most of the current England selection. There is no sugar coating that performance, shit refereeing or not. Andy
