That's a headache for EPRC. Exeter is easy to deal with, they got covid positive test, they can forfeit, which despite much unfairness is simple. Glasgow is far harder- punishing a side simply due to scheduling because they played a side who got covid and have now been advised to isolate by public health is more challenging. I suspect Lyon get the win, but that seems very unfair, even if 28-0 is probably a better result than Glasgow would achieve right now! 

 

I'll be surprised if they make the reigning champions forfeit, as that would almost certainly stop them from reaching the quarter finals. 

I know that was supposed to be the agreed protocol before the tourney started, but I doubt they thought it would happen to one of the top teams.

Got f**k all from the ref as usual. :whistle

they did chop off a 5th try for very tight forward pass thanks to a call by Hollie Davidson

The tournament is a complete farce. Toulon refusing to play Scarlets last night because they didn't believe they weren't riddled with the Covid shows the faith the clubs have in it as well. They probably think they might as well take the 28-0 now and keep their players healthy, than get fucked over next week when the inevitable positive tests come in anyway and lose players for 2 weeks.
