Secondly, I'm surprised that teams in the South and West have postponed games because of weather conditions.

They talk so bravely about how teams in New York, Minnesota, New Hampshire, etc. should "buck up" and train throughout the winter, yet they cancel games because of "unseasonable weather".

Talk is cheap when you think you and yours will be able to avoid the problems that you force on others to accept, and then when faced with the possibility of getting cold feet, you get cold feet.

Practice what you preach.

What is with this game cancellations stuff in the South because of weather? Everyone still parroting the "Rugby is a Spring sport mantra"? Well welcome to the real world.

Six inches of snow? Windy? Bone chilling cold? Teams in the South and California better get used to it now because when the College Premier League is forced down everyone's throats as a SPRING competition,  there are going to be quite a few of those sorts of games and weekends.

 I wonder who is going to pay for and how a weekend's worth of cancelled plane flights is going to be handled?

Of course all those weather threatened games could be played in the indoor facilities that everyone supposedly has and are just sitting open every Saturday in the off chance that a rugby game might need to be played there.
