European match cancelled
European Professional Club Rugby has been informed that a number of Exeter Chiefs players and staff have tested positive for covid-19, and that in accordance with public health guidelines, the club will not be able to send a match-day squad to fulfil its Heineken Champions Cup, Round 2 fixture against Toulouse at Stade Ernest Wallon on Sunday, December 20.
The Pool B match is therefore cancelled.
As Exeter Chiefs played against Glasgow Warriors in Round 1 of the tournament, Glasgow Warriors have advised European Professional Club Rugby that many of its senior players are now self-isolating in accordance with guidelines from Public Health Scotland, and consequently, the club is not in a position to field a match day squad of the appropriate standard for its Heineken Champions Cup, Round 2 fixture against Lyon at Scotstoun Stadium on Saturday, December 19.
The Pool B match between Glasgow Warriors and Lyon is therefore also cancelled.
As per its COVID-19 protocol, EPCR will convene Match Result Resolution Committees to determine the results of the cancelled matches and the decisions of the committees will be communicated as soon as practicable.
