Unnamed player in French club’s squad tests positiveToulon eliminated with Leinster handed a walkoverToulon have reacted angrily following the 11th-hour decision to cancel Friday’s Champions Cup game against Leinster in
Dublin because of a solitary positive case of Covid-19 in the French club’s squad. The three-times champions have been eliminated from the tournament with Leinster handed a walkover.
Senior officials from Toulon are outraged that European Professional Club Rugby called off the game barely five hours before kick-off even though the front-row player concerned had remained in
France and all his teammates tested negative when retested on the eve of the game.
