So ..new rules....2.12.20...does that mean we can play 9 away games to Tier 2 teams!?
actually it probably does, but only fans living in tier 2 areas can go and watch (I think, although it can't possibly be policed, that away fans should be disallowed anyway as the responsible thing to do).
My own view is that really local clubs should probably be focused on a series of 7s festivals or early summer friendlies. If each of the clubs in the group could put one on and everyone else agreed to play at each then at least that's a day's income each when fans are allowed back.
Yes. As a clever Dick my first job this morning was to match Level 3 teams to their Tier levels as announced. I remained clever until about 2:30 when for Tier 3'ers, I recognised, moving into other Tiers (aka 2) from our status (aka 3) was neither acceptable or desirable! So my journey plot app becomes redundant yet again for a little while and my Mose scarf renains unpacked but still useful locally this Winter!
Might the club be open on Saturday 6th December to enable loyal fans without Amazon or any other pay tv watch the England France Autumn Cup final?
If push comes to shove and we are not allowed into the club house but can 'meet outdoors' perhaps a screen could be positioned by the door and we all sit outside and watch - socially distanced of course.

Where there's a will there's a way.
Unfortunately (and clearly I don't know what the club's line is), while there might be a will, there's also a law...
Tier 3 (minus the really irrelevant restrictions for the purposes of this post and brevity):
You must not meet socially indoors or in most outdoor places with anybody you do not live with, or who is not in your support bubble, this includes in any private garden or at most outdoor venues
you must not socialise in a group of more than 6 in some other outdoor public spaces, including parks, beaches, countryside accessible to the public, a public garden, grounds of a heritage site or castle, or a sports facility – this is called the ‘rule of 6’
hospitality settings, such as bars (including shisha venues), pubs, cafes and restaurants are closed – they are permitted to continue sales by takeaway, click-and-collect, drive-through or delivery services.
there should be no public attendance at spectator sport or indoor performances and large business events should not be taking place. Elite sport events may continue to take place without spectators
large outdoor events (performances and shows) should not take place, with the exception of drive-in events

Google Amazon. The matches have been FREE to Amazon Prime members (p.s. I am but cant remember how they 'membered' me up to that level, though I am a purchaser of goods) HOWEVER...if you are not a member of Prime you can sign up for a months FREE trial and obtain the matches FREE too!! If you dont want Amazon Prime resign before 30 days...To read about it google The Independent newspaper Autumn Internationals Rugby Union who introduced the "deal" some weeks before the competition started. (other nationals ran the headline too).

I appreciate this doesn't help anyone else, but I do have Amazon Prime* but I've never been a customer of Sky or BT Sport. It's actually quite a novel experience, if there's got to be a paywall, to be on the right side of it for once.
*living in the sticks, 8 miles from the nearest shop, Amazon and the Morrisons app are a godsend for the rural dweller.

And according to the telegraph, today "...Grass Roots Rugby' returns as clubs will be permitted to return to full 15-a-side training from tomorrow with local friendly fixtures allowed to commence from Dec 18...".
Seemingly, "...after a nine-month wait, the RFU will today announce the return of the grass-roots game with an adapted 15-a-side version...".
At least something is better than nothing and who knows the lack of scrums or formed mauls might be just the tonic to promote a more running game.
I wonder if it will be that some 15's will encourage front rowers to encouge their other undoubted skills while other clubs abandon front rows, as we know them, to be replaced by speedsters? That mix/combinations would make an interesting game,

Thanks Phil! On behalf of the many it's nice to hear from somebody who knows what they are talking about. The only thing I know about links are somewhere on the Moseley Golf Club grounds and clipping my shirt sleeve cuffs (well, my Dad's!)
I did sign my correspondence TECHNOPHOBE - and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future!
