I’m getting there.

This is not well considered. You would have to do NRL, AFL, Soccer with Rugby. It is thousands of people, generally not showing any symptoms. It would be a complete abuse of the testing system which is already trying to reduce unnecessary testing. We are some way off being able to mandate...

How do they achieve this, BR, with 2 week quarantine on entering countries? Suggest humbly, that domestic is what is in our control.

Well. With that done how long before we see Super Rugby again? Thanks Brumbies and Waratahs. Let's hope things are back up quickly.

I was thinking that they could still win, likely even. But It would be a lie to say I didn't have any anxiety, lol.

At the moment I'm not so sure. But once cancellation of schools and universities happen - and that seems only a matter of time - club rugby (or sport of any kind) is surely on ice.

They have been trying to develop a vaccine for the common cold for decades without success. The common cold is a corona virus. Even if wildly successful it would take 4 months to develop a vaccine (we are likely 1 month into that duration) and another 12 to 18 months is required for testing...

How was Tupou! Starting THP scores in min 79 - when did you last see that!?! Ease up on Zander guys. His first starting game, held the scrum. Expectations of more are probably excessive. I think he's going great for someone drawn in ahead of his time. Liam is the new messiah. The boys have...

I guess there are different models. I thought winter saw a more or less continuous run, hopefully flat-lining at a level the health system can cope with, then backs off with the summer heat.

Sorry WOB - do you mean CV-19? If so I just don't think so. Winter is likely to see things peaking, hopefully at steady and controllable numbers. Vaccine, if it comes, is highly unlikely prior to winter 2021.

How does that work? I get 222 deaths per annum (latest data I found in a quick search 2017-2018) which is 18.5 per month. [edit vehicle accidents] 3 deaths from Covid-19. ??

Probably no Bledislow either. Tough times for rugby. They need to swap streaming coverage to the SS and QPR.

Absolutely. Alternatively it's a chance for a domestic club comp and spread the SUper players through the teams.

The fatality rate is <=4% Hence over 96% recover. And 80% barely notice the illness. Similar to what you said but not quite.

That really is the question, isn't it. Cabinet goes into self isolation and the opposition is given free reign in Parliament.

Hope that QRU/Reds find a way to run some form of ballet to invite 500 fans to the Brumbies game and then each home game.

Updated advice is to close non essential gatherings of more than 500 people. Can the Premier clubs manage crowds to below 500?

Well after the confusion at the F1 grand prix i was wondering whether going to the rugby was sensible. With the latest advice, I definitely am. Last chance to see the Reds live for a while.

Prescient. I trust that someone at RA is considering the meaning of " advise against non essential international travel". Travel for work was clarified as being considered essential, and the franchises are actually doing their job. But there sure is room for interpretation.

Australia seems to be considered one of the safer better controlled countries in the world. If anything NZ seems to be considered better than Aus. I’m not aware of any CV19 cases in RSA - though their testing and reporting systems are unlikely to be world leading. I understand what you are...
