[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1032502, member: 58362"] Who is reporting Monday? I've only read Wednesday (from multiple sources). Don't get me wrong, this is a lash up, but given the limited details available at the moment, it seems a stretch to start apportioning blame. It's easy to spin the facts available to paint either EPCR or Toulon in a bad light though. Assuming the positive test was reported on Wednesday...... On the one hand you could argue that Toulon were wildly irresponsible for flying close contacts of a known positive to another country in the knowledge that they wouldn't be able to play. On the other, you could say that EPCR were wildly irresponsible for not prempting this and pulling the plug on the fixture within hours of being notified. Is there no requirement in French law for close contacts of someone who has tested positive to self isolate? You would be in England and this requirement can't be overridden by a negative test. On the plus side, it's nice to see people within rugby starting to understand what an incubation period is at its implications. [/QUOTE]
