There's a bit of debate about this but clubs have done it in the past. Interesting read nonetheless.

A big chunk of that article just seams to be an excuse to attack French rugby. After a quick search of news articles about the game are all pointing to the fact that the pitch was never covered and the undersoil heating was not on long enough to make any difference to the pitch. Timisoara have already released a statement about them accepting the decision to award Stade a 28-0 win and a bonus point and fine them €30000

That's exactly it. The article was written by a Romanian so clearly it's going to be biased towards Timisoara. There's a comment saying that SF should be banned for 5 years, for goodness sake! Being biased myself, Timisoara are completely at fault here. They've accepted it, the mewling idiots in the comments and the journalist who wrote this tripe should dry their fucking eyes.

WP Nel is set to miss the 6 nations. Huge blow for us.

Bugger....makes it unlikely he will get a lions shout now. Lucky we have Fagerson n Welsh as back up but still a huge loss in scrum.....not least because refs didn't penalise him as much as our other props

28-0 HT Allen try with Weir converting 

Completely unfair that Timisoara are being forced to play against a team that's better than them! I mean, pick on someone your own size!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...is what that journalist and his cheerleaders would probably say.
