LIST | The three huge changes ahead of the Premiership's return

"Referees are trying to speed up play so you’ve got to place the ball straight away if you get tackled," wrote Brown in his column for the Mail Online.

"You can’t take a second roll to buy some time — and support players are not allowed to come flying into the ruck from all sorts of obscure angles. We’ve had referees in training to run us through it and, in the early stages, I think we’ll see plenty of breakdown penalties and turnovers."

"There will be water breaks every 20 minutes — with each player having his own numbered bottle.

"If you’re rushing on water at a random break in play, there’s a good chance you’ll end up sharing bottles by mistake and increase the spread of germs. There will be one water carrier for the forwards and another for the backs.

"Whoever is in charge of refilling will have to wear PPE and masks. It might double up as a mini team talk!"

"We haven’t come to an official decision yet but I think we will be taking a knee. There was a players’ association call with a black representative from each club.

"It was Aaron Morris from Quins. He will present to the squad — to educate us as well as set out a plan — and we’ll get behind it."
