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"
What was the source for that, @Machpants - as I'm watching the "highlights" of the games - and there doesn't seem to be anybody avoiding the traditional "cuddles and kisses" after tries. So - I'm wondering if it really was satire from somewhere.
Of course - it being Premiership - it's not a large sample size. (insert whatever emoticon signifies wink/troll. Gloucester vs 14-men resulted in plenty of cuddles)Edit: I did find all the news articles about the regulations... but no official source, other than a few places citing some elusive "Elite Sporting Guidance"... and what I gather is Steve Diamond perhaps giving an interview where he described some of the contents of a "72-page set of regulations" they've been given. I do wonder if he was taking the piss a little, and it just got quoted/misunderstood, and as modern-media works nowadays - the original interviewer's take on it has just been copy-pasted into all major newspapers. As there seemed to be zero evidence of players avoiding post-try celebrations.
Watched the three matches this weekend.
Should all be fined for not social distancing.
Up the jumper. Boring as bat shit.

As I said - I just watched the "highlights" - but they were the RugbyPass "Condensed Version" highlights - around 12 minutes of "action" for each game. When you watch the first 3 minutes, and have just seen a "crash and go" without any result or context, then a penalty down the other end, then another movement going nowhere... one quickly figures it's not worth watching the entire match.

It will be interesting - to say the least - to see how the European competitions will fare under the current Covid-19 conditions, with a resurgence of infections in Europe. A player of Toulouse has tested positive and the friendly against Montpellier has been cancelled.
Toulouse friendly cancelled after player tests positive for coronavirus
Preparations for the 2020/21 Top 14 season next weekend have suffered a setback with the coronavirus cancellation of the Toulouse vs Montpellier friendly.

Hmmm it could work Honey. Its 80 minutes of systematic targeted abuse rather than coming on here and ... oh. Never mind.
I meant the touch rugby...

So just shorter periods of systematic targeted abuse?

@Bones I watched a fair bit of the recent games and that was a poor selection of highlights. There was a lot more that was substantially better.
