Two rounds into the Guinness Pro14 Rainbow Cup and it says everything about this hotchpotch of a competition that the protagonists, not to mention the rugby public at large, still don’t know how it is intended to pan out.

IT WAS THE most sobering weekend Ireland has known since Leo Varadkar announced last March that he was going to close the pubs. Hearing the off licenses were staying open hardly improved the national mood.
That’s the kind of scenario Ireland’s provinces are in now. The party they want to attend has a limited number of invites; so instead of walking along Europe’s red carpet, they’re here, playing in the Rainbow Cup, rugby’s equivalent of another night in, watching Netflix, with a remote control in one hand, glass
