Today's numbers show a slight correction for a weekend lag, but still the trends are crossing, if this holds for another 48 hours or so I'd begin starting to think about planning to say we're over the hump #coronavirus #Covid_19 #ny #nyc
Chewing through some NYC numbers, something for @AngharadHafod to compare notes
New York on pandemic lockdown and I just used the last of the Branston Pickle. Not usually something we have spares of but lo and behold, all is right with the world. Well, not the world, but lunch is sorted.
10. The Scottish Trip
Not wanting to be out done by Public Health England, Public Health Wales decided that not only could all the players turn up, but all the fans should too.
Despite a raging global pandemic, Scottish fans were assured the Wales v Scotland match was on. So they came down by train and by car (and by bus).
Only to find, last minute, guess what?
No match. Croeso i Gaerdydd.
9. Seven Nation Army
During the rest week, no-one had anything to talk about so South Africa, decided to join the Six Nations in 2024.
Because that makes all kinds of sense.
8. RFU Disavows Eddie Jones.
Jones made some unsavoury comments about the refereeing of England v Wales, after two English players were sent off, prompting RFU to apologise to the ref publicly.
“At the end, we were 13 against 16, it’s hard.
“When you have got a three-man advantage, you are going to do some damage. That’s what happened.
“We had a numerical disadvantage, so it was tough.”
When he was asked who the 16th man was for the visitors, Jones replied: “You work that out.”
7. That Punch.
A rebooted, reinvigorated France was sailing through the tournament when Scotland decided to trip them up, so Mohamed Haouas popped one on Scotland's Jamie Ritchie, adding to the weekend of shame.
6. Butterfingers.
Stuart Hogg, with his team seven points down, prompts sports writers everywhere to dust off the phrase "schoolboy error".
With little opposition Hogg fumbled a touchdown that would have seriously impacted the match.
Ah well.
5. Unwanted or Unwelcome Attention.
Joe Marler decided to remind AWJ how much he loves him by grabbing/fondling/tickling his genitals during the match. Joe Marler gets a ten week ban.
4. Mako Backo?
He's in. He's out. He's shaking it all about. Mako Vunipola was stood down by the England squad despite protests from Public Health England, who probably had better things to be worrying about.
So, Mako played for the Saracens that weekend instead.
3. Storm Dennis
Did he take his finger off the ball too early? Only in rugby could this have been the most talked about event the day after. Dennis had the ball going this way and that, kicked balls flying backwards, and both teams refusing to not kick the ball despite gale force boomerangs.
2. Finn Russell
It's all he said he said as coach Townsend claims Russell quit after a late night drinking session, Russell says he's not happy with the way the team is managed.
“The current situation, set-up and environment, I don’t think I want to play in that. I don’t think it’s good for me as a person or as a player,” Russell told The Sunday Times.
Either way, Finn Russell was a no-show this year.
1. It's still happening.
Four matches are postponed due to #coronavirus, and no-one knows if or when they will be played.
Crazy days. haven't had time to check in much, been preparing for splitting the workforce in half, starting Monday. But I did come across this little gem about all the Covids no-one cares about anymore ... #COVID #Covid_19 #covid-19 #coronavirus #flattenthecurve
