Super Rugby round 7 review (+ more updates of the coronavirus)

Well, the Hurricanes (Who had TJ Perenara yellow carded for a high tackle on Solomon Alaimalo) have done it as they beat the Chiefs with a match winning penalty (Man I was like, the Chiefs were heartbroken after conceding a penalty right on full time for a late tackle by Chiefs number 8 Pita Gus Sowakula on Hurricanes reserve prop Alex Fidow) by fullback Jordie Barrett at the death (They had so many phases at the ruck before the Hurricanes had been awarded the penalty) at FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton then the Blues win 4 in a row, this time against the Lions (Who conceded the double whammy, the penalty try & a yellow card by one of the Lions players for a deliberate knockdown) at Eden Park in Auckland then the Crusaders were just too good against the Sunwolves at Suncorp Stadium despite being down for 14 men (And 13 at some point after Sevu Reece was sin binned for a deliberate knock on) after Hugh Roach got dismissed with a red card for an elbow to the head of a Sunwolves player.

And the Super Rugby season has now been suspended indefinitely due to Covid-19 along with other sports (Like the NBA, NHL, MLB, English Premier League & other sports leagues) which have been disrupted (And we have just heard reports that most countries affected by the disease have their borders shut down especially New Zealand (And in both China & South Korea the confirmed number of cases has been dropped significantly but we have 8 confirmed cases here in New Zealand) but be aware that there has already been a self quarantine law (We are under self isolation until the 30th of March) for a fortnight in place when passengers arrive to other countries but remember that they must wash hands for 20 seconds to stop the spread of the virus (And never touch the eyes, mouth and/or nose) & learn social distancing).

So that is my 347th blog of the year 2020 (MMXX) & my 7th of this year.
