    Now showing on the BBC as "expected" to be postponed.
    Changed again to "set" to be postponed.

    I could crush a grape with the excitement.

    This will be the tip of the iceberg.  I fully expect most, if not all large sporting events to be cancelled or played behind closed doors in the coming weeks.  It was a step the UK authorities should have taken a while ago and is arguably too little, too late, but it will at least slow down transmission of the virus.

    Ooooh, I'm nearly getting a result.
    Lufthansa have relaxed booking conditions and I can now rebook to Rome for any date upto 31st Dec 2020. The only downside is that I have to do it before Sat 14th March, so I doubt that a date for the 6 Nations game between Italy & Rome will have been set by then.
    Surprisingly (to me) none of the 4 flights that I'm due to take this weekend have been amended or cancelled. So no automatic refund.  Yet.

    FCO recommending against all but essential travel to Italy now so insurance should kick in even if the flights go ahead?

    Would be a bit unfair to ask you for your passport, as half the England team have foreign ones........



    It's rugby, not soccer! :)
    The English rugby side has far more foreign born players than the soccer side. Seven or eight in the rugby squad. Not that there's much wrong with that if England rugby are happy enough with it.

    Come on Lufthansa. Cancel the flights.  You know that you want to !!
    Yes, the insurance will kick in, but a straightup refund from the airline will be easier on the pocket !

    Hurray. Lufthansa have relaxed their rules and I can now phone them and claim a refund.
    Boo. The phone is either engaged and won't connect, or puts me in a 2 hour queue and then goes dead !
