Nobody will be forced to go to the games. The ones who want to go and will be lucky enough to get a ticket will be the ones who attend.
If someone doesn't feel it safe to go then don't go.
The trial events in England before October and the games in Northern Ireland which have had spectators have proven how it can be done safely


That doesn’t really make sense. It’s not a case of the choice of an individual feeling safe. They could carry the virus onto others. 


Theres no reason this cant be safely dont, if you can fit 2000 fans into PYS amongst the 4 stands, there should be no health danger, if everyone uses their common sense and keeps their distance from people not with them

And there lies the problem. This pandemic has shown that a lot of people have no common sense whatsoever. That’s why we’re still in this position. 

For once, I agree with you - 100%... we in Ceredigion have had very low rates of COVID until recently, when a bunch of idiots in Cardigan thought it a 'good idea' to celebrate the end of the lockdown with a pub crawl, leading to 55 positive tests and 300 contacts...

A game against Leinster with an already depleted squad depleted even more due to some positive COVID results and subsequent self isolations could have proved very damaging ahead of european matches (based on result) just as the signs are starting to look good.
I give you Argentina 25-15 New Zealand. The break did them good Wink
We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

Our home game against Bath in round 4 (23 Jan) will be the live game on Channel 4 that weekend and fingers crossed we'll still be in the mix by then. Shame we haven't got Leinster before the European campaign to see where we're at and to carry on the good work after the Ulster game.
Don’t know anything about the French ref. Is he one if the better ones or a comparative newbie? Wayne Barnes is normally very good so glad we have him over any of the Irish refs.
Ruiz is a decent ref. 

In the past, he was inclined to be a bit fussy. I think that’s no longer the case.

He did deny us a win v Saracens by not giving Foxy the turnover penalty with the clock red. Instead, he gave it to them and they scored a try for the draw and conversion to win it, or have I got that last bit wrong?

I think Sarries got a draw Steve. 
That was my initial recollection. My qualifying of the result reflected my disgust that we’d been robbed of a win over the unbeaten for ages, audit-dodging, boring rugby playing Londoners.- not that I’m bitterConfused

Last time Barnes was at the Parc, we beat Toulon and got to the SF. 

Good omen, perhaps???

if he's done his rib cartilage hell be out for a while, it's very painful and really limits your mobility
 
I'd guess well go with

jonny w foxy
patchell Cawdor
 
wyn elias lee
ball louisi
blade sione and morgan
 
If everyone is fit although asquith  hardy conibeer   McLeod and rob evans will all be in the mix as well

Don't see Foxy making the European games. In reality at the moment I would pick Asquith & Tyler ahead of him on form even if he is fit. Likewise Patchell has it all to do to be ready. I would start with Costelow. He knows no fear and plays what is ahead of him especially if we have Halfpenny to take the pressure of him with goalkicking. 

patchell has looked good in patches, no pun intended. poor old foxy needs time to see if he can get fitness back and to see if he can still compete at this level after the major injuries

Selection now would also depend who has contracted Covid,as they would have to isolate for 14 days..then their contact 10 days

I agree I just don't see drakeford going for it even less chance of the bars being open in the ground
