So true, even if it is milder, Omicron seems to be causing problems with staffing shortages in many places due to the sheer numbers being infected and needing to isolate.

We watched a game from Scotland as well and there were pretty strict limits on capacity, maybe 500 fans? The difference was striking compared to England.

Rugby is a fun sport. My country, Chile is not very good, but we have the Pumas next door in Argentina who are very talented. Before the pandemic, we went to a few Chilean national team games in person. I don't know if you have seen the movie Invictus @SprinkL3, but it is about the Rugby World Cup in South Africa during Mandela's time as president. Worth a watch. The US is better at rugby sevens, which features only 7 players and shorter, faster-paced games. They do tournaments over a weekend in different places around the globe. I assume it is televised in the US if we can usually get it here at the end of the world.
