Munster - one positive case, Cardiff two. Isolating in SA Munster and Cardiff will not be heading home on Sunday due to positive Covid-19 cases in their squads. Those two teams, along with Scarlets and Italian side Zebre, were all set to depart Cape Town on Sunday via a charter flight. However, Muns...

Seems as a bit of a panic move given the current available information. The U.K. moved first and then several European countries implemented a ban as they didn’t want to be seen to be doing nothing. The facts available so far: 1. A novel variant with a combination of mutations not previously seen i...

It makes sense that SA are discovering more as Africa is likely to be a breeding ground for variants, particularly now, with lower vaccine uptake and less surveillance. Africa is a moerse large continent, South Africa is a country in Africa. SA has 19k active Covid cases, the UK has 1m and the USA ...

Pretty happy at how the very, very inexperienced Fiji team ( 59 tournament caps combined) are going so far. Surprised. what happened to their normally strong side? Quite a few have left to play 15s and rugby league. Baber, the former coach has left. So the idea is to blood some new players and star...

The UK are one of the main people doing genome sequencing. It's why Alpha was originally the Kent variant. Fair enough but for some reason no country other than SA has been reporting new variants since then. Doesn't make sense that only SA has new variants/mutations It makes sense that SA are disco...

Interesting that SA is on the red list even though we only have 18k active covid cases compared to the UK's 1m and considering that SA is one of the few countries that actually research the covid variants and mutations It's panic over the reporting of this new variant as something much, much worse ...
