peasy23 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusTheBull Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Very surprising Tom Wood’s clearout on van der Flier wasn’t even a penalty given the current environment regarding head knocks. Clear shoulder to head with force, thought it was a fairly obvious red card. Leinster comfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
