Medical chief predicts Rugby return before end of year
The chief medical officer of World Rugby Eanna Falvey has predicted that International Rugby could be back before the end of the year.
Falvey believes the sport will return in phases, that is to say domestic, provincial or club games before international tests.
He however, also expects a shortfall if second waves or new spikes in the Coronavirus pandemic emerge, which could in turn see governments in certain rugby-playing countries re-imposing restrictions.
On being back before the end of the calendar yea, Falvey told the Irish Times;
No, I wouldn’t rule it out at all. In fact I would be very surprised if there isn’t some competitive rugby before the end of the year. I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t quite a bit of competitive rugby and I would say that we are probably going to get cleverer in how we can monitor players.
