Bizarrely, Ireland is now the only team whose championship title destiny is entirely in their own hands.

Technically one could argue this is not true. COVID-19 is holding a card...

It’ll all be over soon. It can’t survive much longer now that it has come into contact with a Tory Cabinet Minister.

How much rugby is likely to be played in the next 10 weeks?

Makes more sense to suspend players for a number of games (excluding frendlies), rather than a number of weeks?

The WR disciplinary code is written with suspension penalties in weeks so there is no other way to express a suspension.
I'm assuming "weeks" means playing weeks, so with the season on hold, the clock should stop running on suspensions until play resumes.

I see the Wales v Scotland game has finally been postponed. Thankfully this has happened as I would have watched the game despite knowing in advance it would have been torture.
