Obviously any more postponements and we are in trouble.
I had a quick look at the fixtures earlier and this seems the best/only time we could squeeze another game in.
Maybe we'll have some contract news this week to lighten the mood...
Jesus. Daily infection rates are rising exponentially - 20k yesterday. Looking very ominous. Good job Johnson acted quickly and closed the border with India or we could have been in real trouble.

But the big question is...does the number of cases matter anymore? While Deaths and Hospitalisations have gone up a bit it's nowhere near the increase we'd have seen without the vacinne's.
Don't forget many of the cases people haven't had any symptoms, and they are actively encouraging people with no symptoms to do tests, kids do flow tests each week etc so no wonder we are spotting more cases. If they did a load of testing for ,'normal Flu' each winter we'd see some big numbers too.
Age wise SL players should have now been offered the jab and if they've had it we should be at the 3 week mark for a bit of protection soon which should help matters.

I see your point about deaths and hospitalisations but worry from a Rugby point a view that as infections rise in the community there's more likelihood that players and non playing staff testing positive resulting in more fixtures being cancelled.

In my opinion SL is going to have to change it policy very soon to one where if a player has been jabbed and tests positive he can still play provided he has no symptoms and is happy to do so, on the basis that transmission is much lower with a jab. In a normal season players will take to the field with coughs, colds, aftermath of dodgy kebabs etc there's always some risk of catching something, as long as it isn't serious or deadly it shouldn't matter. As a society we can stay inside wrapped up in cotton wool forever.
