The EPCR on Thursday testified that even the cancellation of the Champions Cup, which starts next weekend, is not in question (with the match between Northampton and Racing 92 on Friday, December 10), despite health concerns again. In the context of a new Kovid-19 omiciron variant, the body suggested that none of the scheduled matches on the calendar could be postponed to see if this fifth wave would grow. However, this did not stop Scarlett on Thursday from demanding that their first two games be played on dates later than currently scheduled. Welsh, who are due to face Bristol early on December 11, are due to hold a meeting with Bordeaux-Beglas on December 19, and are currently isolated in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Welsh officials said. Their quarantine refused to host – after returning from a stay in South Africa, Wales forced another team from Cardiff and the Irish from Munster to stay in place, postponing their return (and going back to the quarantine) and their member players who tested positive and returned.

EPCR does not want to hear about this

With 32 players currently isolated in Belfast, the Scarlett has only seven professional players. If there are competitions going on today to put 23 names back on the scholarship sheet with semi-professionals and the expectations of their workers, what will force them. Mandatory condition set by the EPCR to avoid defeat on the green carpet. If it explicitly refuses to consider reviewing its plans, it is certain that the solution will depend on the ability of the teams involved to fill any gaps associated with Kovid with all possible levers. When the registration of players for the match was closed last November, it is under consideration to reopen. And it “to allow all participating clubs to complete their workforce with unlimited players who have not previously registered”. It’s not sure if it’s going to fix the Scarlett’s, but it’s dangerous to start a long list of clubs that may request to postpone their matches in the coming weeks. EPCR has no guilt.
