Surely EPRC are looking into every game and scrutinising everything?

Or on the other hand it could be genuine as could be the Falcons cancellation, for example?

You would hope so but there is no doubt teams in multiple sports are playing the system with the covid protocols. I just don’t believe that all of these cancellations are a coincidence. Has anyone noticed that this is only with French teams?

Yeah it's cancelled... what points do we get?

Does this count as a win for us?

It's off. See the main news page on this site. Like many others I would have preferred the game to have gone ahead but I suppose player welfare must come first.

We are top with 19 points. So if Quins get a BP win with a PD of more than 7 then they will top the group with us 2nd. If they fail to get the TBP win then we top the group

You would fancy them to do that. Still have a funny feeling we will be playing Montpellier but I havnt looked at theirs or Chiefs teams yet

Yes- I wonder…it was going to be only my second time at Welford Road in a decade, my nephews first game, like so many I’m gutted.
