Sunday’s PRO14 match in Galway featuring Connacht and Benetton has been postponed due to a Covid-19 outbreak at the Italian club.

A PRO14 statement read: “The round four Guinness PRO14 fixture between Connacht and Benetton has been postponed.

“The game was due to take place on Sunday, November 1, in Galway. However, Benetton will not be able to travel due to a small number of isolated positive cases of Covid-19.

“Public health guidelines in Italy currently prevent the Benetton squad from resuming rugby activities and as a result, the fixture cannot take place as planned.

“PRO14 Rugby can also confirm that Scarlets, who Benetton played in round three, have returned negative results from their PCR testing this week. PRO14 Rugby will examine potential dates in early 2021 to reschedule the game.”

Connacht had last weekend cashed in on Edinburgh’s post-lockdown lethargy as they inflicted a sixth straight defeat on the Scots with a 37-26 win at Murrayfield.

Ben Youngs voices exactly what every England fan is thinking

I'm not entirely sure England would have lost to NZ if they'd had a bit of game time under their belt before that test.


Then again, this England team have become experts at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory over the past year so I wouldn't rule it out.

Scotland will come third, once again winning the "We Beat England" trophy and celebrating like they won an actual title, despite it being 25 years and counting.

Men's 15s World Player of the Year was only a two horse race

An Irish farmer was walking along the boundary between his and his neighbour’s fields when he spotted his neighbour carrying 2 sheep in his arms.


‘Tony’, he called. ‘Are you going to shear those sheep’.


‘I am not’, the neighbour replied, ‘They’re both for me‘.

No, it's just you being dishonest again. If you've an issue with Ireland, be a man, admit it!! Don't hide behind flimsy self fabricated excuses.

Nope. Don't know why, but there is always some kind of hype around Scotland.

I mean sure they beat Aus, but The BOKS? IRELAND? NZ? FRANCE?


Can't beat them once every 10 games. Gotta beat those teams consistently.

England will be lucky to finish 3rd in the 6N next year. Scotland could very well beat them and I can't see them beating France or Ireland.


I guess the fixtures draw might help - having France and Scotland at home.

I have an issue with everyone. Sometimes it's Ireland, sometimes NZ. Mostly England if I'm totally honest. France sometimes.


That you think Ireland is being targeted is all you.

If 'jokes' from particular people are always about a particular country or rugby team then they are prejudice disguised as jokes. We know you have an issue with Ireland. Perhaps you can show maturity and let it go, or at least stop pretending its just 'joking' and not you.

Yes, makes sense. But England would have lost all three tests anyway. At least they have some wind in the sails.

PSDT was whining to the referee trying to cheat after Ireland beat up SA in Durban.

Remember the tag team act, Kolbe dived and PSDT tried to lie to the referee? Are you saying he should be ruled out of consideration for player of the year? Harsh....

(You may have missed with that dart.)


Anyone reading the replies to this articles and similar can see what I'm talking about.

Rugby should be about enjoying the game. Seems here that these rugby supporters attach their teams perceived prowess to their own ego.

Don't take it personally.

You remind me of a chap called Turlough who used to prowl these parts. Got very uppity about everything remotely near to a criticism of Ireland.


He would also refer to measuring Willies in some of his posts. Seemed a bit obsessed about measuring Willie’s to be honest.

+ they came from nowhere to win the Gold Medal at the Olympics +


I don't challenge that - and that's perhaps the reason why Mr. Dupond is Rugby 7s Player of the Year (I think he in fact made the biggest impact, which is why the trophy is perhaps deserved) .... from a strategic or complexity point of view R7s to Test-Rugby is like comparing go-kart to Formula 1 (to make the point) ....

The Boks have fielded 52 players in 13 tests, adopted a new offence strategy and yet won 11 games while losing 2 due to luck of the opponent (Ireland, 2 drop goals in the last 5min) or misfortune (Argentina, missed kick by Manie)

I personally love R7s, it's great to watch the action in midst of a party atmosphere, but it's sort of kindergarden compared to Test-Rugby
