School where England trained now self-isolating amid Coronavirus fears - reports
By Ian Cameron
A school where the England Rugby team trained yesterday is now self-isolating amid fears over the coronavirus - according to reports.
St Edwards School in Oxford was the location for a three training base for England, who were there up until yesterday.
According to the Oxford Mail, the school has now chosen to direct its pupils to self-isolate at home as a precaution after pupils from the school returned from a country that had an outbreak of the respiratory virus.
A school spokesperson for St Edward’s said: “A small number of our pupils who have recently travelled to an affected area, or had close contact with someone who has travelled to an affected area, either have been, or are currently, undergoing a period of quarantine at home. Since our half term was earlier than many, most of our pupils are now back in school.
“These are precautionary measures only and we have no concerns about the health of any member of our community (with regard to coronavirus) at present - though of course, as with all schools, we continue to monitor the situation closely and to follow the latest advice given out by PHE.”
Eddie Jones’ England charges at set to make the trip Rome on the final day of the Six Nations on March 14 but that match appears to be under threat of being cancelled as a result of measures being taken against the spread of the coronavirus aka COVID-19.
17 people have died from the disease in Italy and the country now has over 600 confirmed case, the highest of any country outside of Asia.
Ireland’s clash with Italy in Dublin on Saturday week has already been called off due to the outbreak.
WATCH: The guys round up all the Guinness Six Nations and Premiership action. They discuss the shenanigans at the breakdown in England v Ireland among others. We also hear from Brad Shields on his injury and his quest to get back into Eddie's England squad.

MY HERPES STORY AND HOW I WAS CUREDFor years, I struggled with the emotional and physical burden of the herpes virus, believing I would have to live with it forever. I tried countless treatments, medications, and therapies, but nothing seemed to bring lasting relief. It felt like a battle with no end in sight until I discovered a natural remedy that changed everything (herbs). Skeptical at first, I decided to give it a try, and to my surprise, I started noticing improvements in my overall well-being within two days of taking the medication. With consistency as prescribed by the herbal doctor, I felt healthier, more energized, and free from the symptoms that had once controlled my life. After completing the treatment, (14days) I visited my doctor for confirmation, and I was overjoyed with the results. I tested negative. I was cured from my HSV1&2This experience has given me back my confidence, peace of mind, and a renewed sense of hope. If you or someone you know is struggling with herpes or other health concerns like HPV, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, PCOS, or hepatitis, know that there are alternative options available and you will be cured. For those seeking a natural approach to wellness, I encourage you to explore this path with an open mind. You never know how life-changing it might be.

Go to commentsHi all. Thanks for commenting. JD is right: the headline is not mine. My headline was what ended up as the first sentence: “Why is Super Rugby Pacific so exciting this season?”. I am certainly not claiming that teams from one competition are better than the teams from another. This type of discussion is entirely subjective (as the teams do not play each other, and even with the players face each other in their national teams, it is in different systems, conditions, etc.). The season being exciting has nothing to do how well the Wallabies will do against the Lions, or against New Zealand.
My sole purpose here was to try explore quantitatively a ‘qualitative’ impression (that the season is exciting).
On Graham’s point about extreme results skewing the results, and Ed’s comment on removing outliers, this is precisely why I report the median values as well as the averages. The median is not skewed by outliers. If the margins of 5 games are 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 points, the median margin is 5. If there was one blowout and the margins were 3, 4, 5, 8 and 57 points, the median margin is still 5.
