- Blackett says games could move to midweek later in the season
- ‘I don’t think anyone wants weeks without supporters’
The Wasps head coach, Lee Blackett, has called on the Premiership to consider pausing the season if matches are forced behind closed doors by the continued spread of the Omicron variant of coronavirus.
Matches in Wales and Scotland will be played in effectively spectator-free stadiums from Boxing Day and Blackett believes calling a temporary halt to fixtures would be in the best financial interest of the clubs if the government introduces similar measures in England. He has also suggested the postponed games could be played in midweeks later in the season given there are no free weekends in the calendar.
