There was a test in Nelson recently. Or was that a covid casualty?

Bristol Bears and England prop Kyle Sinckler will miss the start of the Six Nations after being banned for two weeks for swearing at a referee.

He will miss England's opener against Scotland on 6 February, but will be back to face Italy a week later.

The British & Irish Lion avoids missing both of the first two matches of England's Six Nations campaign because the squad has not yet been named, meaning his ban will also cover Bristol's league match against Bath on Friday, 29 January.

He will be free to play again on 9 February.

@Stargazer He's been a lucky boy and it once again highlights the lottery that is the judiciary.

Probably a better thread for this somewhere, but the Japanese comp is about be suspended due to Covid outbreaks, loads of players and staff have it

so despite everything going to hell in a handbasket over there, it's suddenly the 6N this weekend?

take away the crowds and the travelling fans, and all you are left with is the dire rugby.

We’ll see

Dire is better than none, and beggars can’t be choosers

Yeah, I struggle to be excited about it this year. Although having said that, England vs Scotland in 2019 is one of the best games I've seen.

France vs. England should be a decent watch, and I'll be interested to see how Wales goes. That's about it for me though.

I would quite happily watch/listen to one of those alternative-commentary youtube streams type things, with Nigel Owens watching the game, and criticising the ref (and/or the commentators calls on the ref)

@Kruse Owens is a fucking treasure

This is not in the least bit surprising. Scotland and exciting Rugby go together like Bacon and Eggs.
