Lang will likely be the 3rd option at 10, though would hope both regular 10s are in each of the 23s. Lang starts at 10 this evening for Quin's v Sale out of interest.

The England games are due to be on Channel 4 (allegedly - nothing signed yet), so I'd've thought the Scotland ones will find a home somewhere as well.

Got distracted by the football and didn't realise the A game was called off. Probably a good call considering how late they would have had to make a completely new team. There'll be lots of players delighted to be away with Scotland but this uncertainty must be knackering and take some of the fun away.

The good thing is they are closing all training down for the full week in order to get it under control which is good news for the Romania and Georgia tests, it just means a large majority (how many of the 37 were going to be cut for these tests, I'd hazard a guess at about 10; leaving a squad of 27 going on tour?)missing out on playing for us.

I really hope that Auterac, Sebastian, Hislop, Ashman, Henderson and Bayliss do tour but reckon some won't.

Dingwall doing the Hokey Cokey from the England squad. Cancelled game, Quins/Exeter payers coming in and Dingwall back out of the squad.

Can’t say I’ve got high hopes for seeing any games now. Shame. Could really do with establishing some depth.

Real shame. I'd imagine Romania are pretty sad - they're not exactly flush with games against T1 opponents and playing you while the Lions are away would've given them a chance to make it halfway competitive.

Georgia are allegedly playing South Africa in South Africa on Friday, so I'd imagine even if you get all the COVID out of your camp, they'll have got it into theirs.

In unsurprising news, the Georgia trip is off. Hopefully they can all have a week or two to chill before preseason

A couple of people complaining in the comments of The Offside Line article confirming the news asking why we couldn't play Romania instead.

Some people are never happy eh lol.
