Doesn't really say what that means, suspension as in pause, or suspensions as in games during the period are cancelled and will not be re-scheduled. I guess it is the second

To help fight the spread of the Covid-19 corona virus, the French Rugby Federation (FFR) has - with immediate effect - suspended all rugby competitions (at all levels) in France, including meetings and training sessions, and all activities of the Rugby Acedemies, until conditions improve and permit them to be resumed.

Most clubs in Europe are agreeing pay cuts in the 25 to 30% region. Makes sense, especially as it seems that these don't salty to the low paid workers. If hope NZPA follow suit and offer this sort of thing. It helps no one of clubs and franchises go under

Joe Simpson for me, sublime change of attack.

@MiketheSnow I've stopped after that one - neat try! How the hell was the second one a try of the week? It's just a simple through the hands with 3 passes.

@Duluth Add in the "investment" from Nigel Wray into their businesses and George Kruis, the Vunipolas, Owen Farrell and Mario Itoje have quite clearly been the five best paid players in the world in recent years.

Two Scotsmen in the top 15. One of whom doesn't even get selected for Scotland. I'm not sure if that's brilliant or completely fucked up.

@MN5 thought you would be all over the next big thing out of Italy since you love their captain so much. Mario Itoje is a mover and shaker.
