Bristol will be screaming for the game to be off. One player plays who may have it and that could be their playoff hopes up in smoke if numbers of their side have it...

It wouldn’t be ideal but this whole season has been far from ideal in many respects. Top 8 however it comes I’d take. If the Irish game is off it takes the pressure off and might actually help us relax and play some rugby tomorrow. It’s not how I’d choose to qualify but I’d take it over a possible European Cup final loss and 9th in the table. Let’s wait and see what comes of the report if anything

Personally I think we'd have beaten Falcons and Saints given our respective forms at the times they were called off, so reckon we lost points with our covid games.

So that means we cannot finish lower than 8th now regardless of the Wasps result ????

I think so but it’s too early for such calculations

technically could finish 9th, if Newcastle get a bonus point win and over turn a 78 point difference and we get nothing

As soon as I saw the team selection I thought he may know something we don't, that said still not sure I like the team regardless

I very much doubt it.

I think it was broken yesterday that there were two failed lateral flow tests and we had to wait to this morning to find out PCR results that were the ones that cancel the game. There's no way that materially changed the team, all happened too last minute.

Irish must be upset if they had held on too that lead they would be through even with the COVID points I think.
