So they'll let you in the country to potentially infect whoever, but won't let you have a game of rugby?

It's possible that the player who wasn't vaccinated when the report first came out has now been vaccinated.

Or it was a young player who's not currently in the first team plans.

You have to have had 2 doses of the vaccine to travel to France (the booster as well depending on when your first dose was).

There are exceptions in certain circumstances but then you would have to quarantine.

The non vaccinated player is not in France.

2 x sets, 2 x errors.

Looks like a Lam-inspired performance so far. Proof the last few years are not that far behind us unfortunately.

Hicks has battered us though, not surprisingly. Incorrect play the ball given against Mago when the Dragons player basically launched the ball.

Discipline with and without the ball has been dire.

A truly shambolic first half and on top of last week, is what has concerned me about how much effect the new coaching staff can have when we play the big games.

Quite poor. Looks like a bit of a lack of enthusiasm out there too.

A sobering half of rugby. We just make too many mistakes and it’s been a problem for too long now.

Re: 21 man squad to face Catalans Saturday. : Sat Mar 12, 2022 6:22 pm  

Well this is a shocking first half display.

As bad if not worse than the Lam era.

I don’t think it’s a coaching issue yet it’s individuals making very basic errors and a really poor level enthusiasm, but this is now a massive test of MP’s untested coaching credentials.

Discipline with and without the ball has been appalling.

Very lazy performance.
