Quiz: How well do you remember the current rugby season?

Some of us can’t tell what day it is, never mind know when the 2019/20 season ends and the 20/21 campaigns begins.

THE PLAYERS ARE back training, the provinces are ploughing ahead with plans to put competitive rugby back on our screens late next month by attempting to wrap up the 2019/20 season – with a chunk of in-between fixtures marked cancelled.

But if the tournaments were up and running this weekend, would you remember how everyone stood? Or perhaps you’ve watched so much TV in lockdown you need a ‘previously on’ refresher for each team’s own little soap opera.
