Controversy as Ireland A vs England Saxons is called off.

According to the BBC, the game will not be rescheduled and this the postponement is in effect permenant.Ã'*

This of course means that a whole range of players from Danny Cipriani all the way to John Sexton are made to wait for the vital game time that both players so desperately need.
