Thank goodness the game is on! Thanks Robes 👍
It might not be now! Just read on Eurosport that EPCR are likely to cancel the match, with Toulouse being the losers.
Toulouse are currently 7th with Wasps and Castres below them so as I can't see either of them winning, Toulouse should still qualify for the last 16.
Thanks Robe 👍
Confirmed by Cradiff on Twitter they have a 28-0 win now awarded

Newcastle and Toulon both qualify and Falcons save the £75K it would have cost to fly there says someone cynical (not me, obvs). However, some of the cancellations do have a certain whiffiness.

Don’t forget that Newcastle said two weeks ago that they didn’t really want to go either. Given the French attitude to the competition, I am not surprised by this weekend at all.

I doubt tigers will get anything to cover the £1 million they could have made from this fixture!

I think during covid the board said they were losing about 1m every matchday
