After Toulouse – Exeter, Bordeaux-Bègles – Glasgow and La Rochelle – Bath, will the EPCR announce the cancellation of a fourth match of the 2nd day of the Champions Cup?
For the moment, nothing has been decided yet but the match between the Scarlets and Rugby Club Toulonnais, scheduled for this Friday at 6.30 p.m. seems to be somewhat threatening.
According to the information of the journalist of RMC Sport, Jean-François Paturaud, the situation is closely monitored by the EPCR. Extract:
“We are watching closely, no decision in this direction for the moment. “
Why would this match be threatened? Simply because a Scarlets player tested positive for Coronavirus last week.
This contamination also resulted in the cancellation of the match between La Rochelle and Bath which was to be played on Saturday, given that this Welsh player tested positive was in close contact with 12 players from Bath last weekend, during the first day of the Champions Cup.
Note that the players of Rugby Club Toulonnais arrived in Wales this Thursday afternoon. A decision will be taken on Friday.
