[QUOTE="Wichita, post: 1032472, member: 59727"] I am not a Toulon fan myself, but still a very strange sequence of events there. Toulon warned the EPCR on Monday about a positive case, the EPCR gave the OK for the team to travel to Dublin and play providing a test on Thursday is negative. Negative test, the match still stands. then five hours before kickoff, the EPCR warns that 6 Toulon players will be considered contact cases and cannot play. The fact that those 6 players have travelled and trained with the team all week should not be lost on anyone. The fact the six players mentioned are all the front rowers available for Toulon must not be either. So 5 hours before the game : sorry, all your front rowers are not allowed to play. But the match is still on, you can bring on your under 20 front row, providing they can jump on a plane to play on Sunday. Against Leinster, yes. Of course, they have been in the bubble for the last two weeks. They were not. What a pity ! What about your U17 ? What about the senior team ? We are so sorry, but we EPCR cannot allow this match to go on, you will have to forfeit... If you recall what happened between the Scarlets and Toulon in the first stage, this is just ridiculous... I am not sure Leinster, Exeter, Wasps or even Toulouse would have to face the same bullying. [/QUOTE]
