So the new French rules require staff and players to be vaccinated or they have to isolate, so we can pretty much assume all players this weekend in France are vaccinated...

From RB on another thread:

"So if all but 1 of
Castres (Munster Home)
Cardiff (Quins Home)
Wasps (Toulouse Home)
Stade (Bristol away)
Scarlets (Bordeux away)

Lose then we are basically thought to the next round regardless of the next 2 games"
