Ma… Con il covid?
Some of the games have no spectators allowed – it depends on the local circumstances.
no scrum?
Not sure what you mean. These are live games that DO count for the official results.

Oh, I see now. Thanks.

(here in Italy it is the most widespread rugby and with it its terminology and it happens to get confused 😉 )
I see.
yes
😀
the first Italian rugby championship was born in 1929.
dove vivo la tradizione è molto sentita e le feste dei giocatori di rugby sono un buon posto dove trovare marito 😮 😀
Wow!
until a few decades ago teams were born in universities, therefore: educated young people, with a career ahead, without fear of a hard physical approach, sportsmanship and able to put a girl on the shoulder … perfect! 😀😀
I understand!
😀
Have a good day!
you too!
