We’re not allowed in to Germany, or France or the Netherlands at the moment.
Has it changed? France was ok. Germany too if it is essential (which work in culture has hitherto been deemed to be).

What, a Welshman who skips a Dutchman at Munich to bend the knee before a Hanoverian?
Don’t they know what Men of Harlech all know, that Welshmen never yield?

Grind them in the dust! “
He’s still in Brexitland singing Falstaff, so no time to quarantine etc before the Munich show.
Konieczny is far superior in this role (and at this point in virtually EVERY OTHER role).
