Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Leicester Tigers head coach Steve Borthwick confirmed Saturday's Gallagher Premiership season opener is set to go ahead after a Covid-19 outbreak within the camp was contained.
However, Tigers will be without the services of some players due to Covid-19 related reasons when the squad is selected to face Gloucester at the Welford Road on Saturday afternoon.

Well this was always likely. We'll just have to see who is available and who not...OakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:03 pm Leicester Tigers head coach Steve Borthwick confirmed Saturday's Gallagher Premiership season opener is set to go ahead after a Covid-19 outbreak within the camp was contained.

Getting the excuses in early?
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Interesting. That’s at odds with what I read in the press earlier today -OakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:03 pm Leicester Tigers head coach Steve Borthwick confirmed Saturday's Gallagher Premiership season opener is set to go ahead after a Covid-19 outbreak within the camp was contained.

Closing down training was the right call said Borthwick, who said, “we had enough cases to close the training ground and train individually. It was the right call.” He did confirm that no one will be missing due to Covid, only the already injured players.

Given it sounds like someone in the media may have done a misquote of the same interview, I don't suppose you have a link to the article that says nobody will be missing due to Covid (or better yet the audio of the interview)“We had enough cases that meant the right thing to do was to immediately close the training ground and players do individual training,” said Borthwick. “It was the right decision to ensure that we clamped down as quickly as we could on any spread of the virus… yeah, there are players who will be missing for various reasons, including the virus.”

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Could just be taken out of context. It could be players are missing because they are isolating as opposed to having the virus (so not missing because they have the virus); semantics.
IIRC government guidelines can actually be interpreted so that someone who has recovered from the virus could actually return to work sooner than someone who is self isolation having been in contact with them (yes, I know that’s mad, but I’ve seen it first hand).

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
If the track and trace app goes ping then you have to self isolate. Could even be a member of the household. Gets very complicated doesn't it. Especially for those players who have children at school. If the child gets sent home to isolate because a classmate has the virus do you then have that player come and train? The child may show no symptoms and you can't test the player every day and it's probably impractical for them to completely avoid the child.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 7:26 am Could just be taken out of context.

My nephew was required to self isolate as his preschool teacher had it. The information given to my sister-in-law clearly stated that my nephew was the ONLY one in the household who needed to self isolate unless my nephew development symptoms, the only other requirement was that he could only be cared for by household members, meaning that they needed someone else to take my other nephew to school as my sister-in-law needed to look after the one self isolating.
No if the rugby club chooses a different option because of the risk of an outbreak that's their own view...

I can think of some things, but they would almost certainly be moderated or removed...johnthegriff wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 10:13 am Wait until tomorrow?!!! With radical attitudes like that what will we fill these pages with?
Anyway 12.00 tomorrow we shall see, then we can all play the new game: "Injured, Covid or out of favour."
No doubt with an LTTV spin on selection...would rather a pre season LTTV about season in general.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

It is not unheard of for Rugby Pass to get it wrong.

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester
Just got the BT Match pass e-mail. Doesn't affect me as I have BT Sport but the e-mail says some have been breaking the rules, sharing the details. Why ? I would guess that if too many do it BT will withdraw the scheme and a few dishonest people will have ruined it for a lot of season ticket holders.
