Ireland (republic) retains limits on crowds at 200
The Government has again delayed increasing the number of people allowed at indoor and outdoor gatherings, meaning that sporting attendances must remain at 200.
The GAA, FAI and other sporting organisations had hoped that the numbers that could attend would be increased to 500, but the cabinet have decided to delay again in the face of an increase in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the size of crowds gathering will remain at 200 for outdoors and 50 for indoors and that the evidence will be reviewed again in three weeks' time.
The 200-person limit includes players, backroom teams, media, officials, stewards and the rest of the volunteer core that assemble to stage matches - meaning that most GAA club matches have had a maximum of 100 fans in attendance.
Phase 4 of the easing of restrictions had originally been planned for mid-July before an increase in the coronavirus reproduction number led to reopening being delayed.

Amazing that the numbers for the resumption ( due to costs, maybe, rather than CV restrictions) means no TMO no Citing Com. Be interesting to see if that is a goer again in the fiuture!
Back to true French rugby.

French don’t seem to care too much in domestic comps about the TMO/Citing. I think they just ply them with wine to turn a blind eye!
Same as their refs.

Fucking ridiculous "Premiership players will be forbidden from hugging and celebrating tries within two metres of each other as part of a number of strict measures introduced for the league’s long-awaited restart when Harlequins host Sale at the Stoop on Friday night.
Despite the scrums, rucking and mauling, players will also be prohibited from shaking hands, high-fiving and kissing due to protocols designed to ensure social distancing is observed wherever possible."
So if you have a maul try, all the players must leap up, run 2m apart from each other, then celebrate.

this shit honestly reads like fucking satire doesn't it?
when they were writing these down, at what point did they sit back, laugh, and say "this is so fucking ridiculous, there's no way anyone is going to make these actual regulations"
