Saturday 1st August in front of 5000 at Stade Gilbert Brutus. Is that right? Prime Minster announced today Phase 2 of the 'deconfinement'.

• An end to the maximum 100km for journeys as of 2 June.
• Cafés, bars and restaurants in most of the country designated green, will reopen on 2 June. No more than 10 people at a table and 1m distance between tables. Kitchen and restaurant staff must wear masks. Establishments in orange areas will only be able to reopen terraces.
• Secondary schools and lycées in green areas to reopen all classes, but retaining health measures including a maximum 15 pupils per class. In orange areas most classes will remain closed until September.
• France’s external borders will remain closed until 15 June when it is hoped they can reopen to EU nationals in coordination with other EU27 states. The general opening of borders to non EU nationals will be decided in coordination with EU27. France will impose a reciprocal quarantine on nationals arriving in France that impose quarantine on French citizens.

Steve McNamara due back this week from lockdown in Hull. The club administration not yet back in place - maybe return 1st June. Been announced that four youngsters from the reserve team will be added to the Dragons squad when training recommences. Mathieu Cozza, Corentin Le Cam, Joe Chan and Mathieu Laguerre. Tom Davies and Sam Moa too are expected to be available after long term injuries. I hear that Stade Toulousain have started training for Top 14 season so one imagines Catalans should be OK in the next few weeks - all being well.

Wouldn't Leeds have to be quarantined for 14 days under current rules?

I’m interested to see how La Guerre is developing.  He’d put a little size on last time I saw him and it looked like he was trying to commit the line before distribution.

Good luck to them, I was really looking forward to watching Catalans this season (and am again now).

I see other relaxations in this Phase 2 includes gyms so the Dragons can once again access the weights room at Gilbert Brutus. From 2nd June it appears professional sports teams can recommence training but without contact. If all goes well it seems that full contact could be introduced as part of Phase 3 which will be looked at on 22nd June - 6 weeks before the possible August SL start.
