Not great guests. Last time we let them play home matches here they showed their gratitude by robbing us of a Grand Slam……

It won’t happen, it’s the WRU giving their government an ultimatum so that they alter the rules come the 6nations. All about the money

But how will they be able to complain about the roof being open?

That's all crowd restrictions at outdoor sporting events lifted in Scotland from Monday*. I expect Wales to do likewise soon.

*50% of attendees will have to have their Covid passports checked.

Wales to have full crowds at 6N after a bizarre u-turn by the Welsh government. A week ago their leader felt the need to essentially say the Tories in London were killing people with a lack of restrictions and this week they've set out a timetable for pretty much the same level of restrictions. The level of statistical analysis on display by the various health bodies in the UK continues to astound me.

Restrictions will lift gradually, with sports fans returning, followed by hospitality back to normal.

Wales is basically a part of England anyway so it wouldn’t matter too much if they were playing in London or wherever.
