Premiership Rugby statement

[RBB]

Ah thanks, so puts them on 46 points.

[Rossm]

AFAIK: Sale have not yet announced their team for a game that was originally scheduled to be played tomorrow, yet Wuss have announced their team.

[Heathen]

PRL have lost the plot. Same issue with both matches. Why totally opposite outcomes.

This

Either there is one rule or there are no rules.......

Now, if the hundreds of thousands of regular PRL fans would just tweet to the PRL just what a cheating crock of sh*t this is, as I have just done, then maybe the old farts will actually wake up and smell the rot that has set in. An organisation that is not fit for purpose.

[Neils]

Sale blaming Worcester that the game can't be played tomorrow apparently. 

[Dgwasp]

So have Glos been given a 20 - 0 win and 5 pts?

Just read that they have.  So that means R22 is a dead rubber for Wuss now.

Hopefully this gets the team into the right head space for tomorrow knowing that they still need to win and that a win could well earn the home semi...

[WonkyWasp]

PRL  are absolutely  barking.  What a load of sheisters.  Our cat could make a better  decision and she's dead.

Do you have an email address / name to use?

Sale apparently can still field a team without any new squad additions, Saints can't. Sale game seemingly delayed by Warriors understandable reticence to play without further checks in place.

Better precedent for comparison would be Casters in euro game, 3 positive tests who werent even in travelling squad but game forfeited to Tigers.

Maybe this was the last part of Sale compensation to Glaws for poaching Van Rensburg!

[Neils]

Or maybe the PRL officer making the decision used to place prop to Diamond's hooker. Just maybe.

[Skippy]

Probably safe to assume the Sale game will be cancelled if results tomorrow end up making it a dead rubber. In other words, PRL is hoping to dodge taking a tough decision! They certainly have form in this area.

[RogerE]

As I understood it Sale claimed they were in a position to play tomorrow.

They should, therefore, name their team tomorrow, and stick to it in that case, and none of the team who played last week should be allowed to play next Wednesday.

[Bloke in North Dorset]

With Sale had 16 cases on Thursday I find it hard to believe they'll be clear by Tuesday, unless they were false positives. Its well known that the PCR test is being done to such a sensitivity that it picking dead virus who were symptom clear for 30+ days.

If they have a playing squad that was tested OK on Thursday and they are isolating and have been since  before Thursday then perhaps they could all test positive. But that shouldn't be the point.

If the game goes ahead and Sale go through there's going to and awful, lingering, smell around for a long time.

I guess Bath and Bristol are already in the process of lawyering up.

[RBB]

I do feel sorry for Wuss, they had a real chance of getting into the top 8, that opportunity is now gone and they have little recourse, as they asked for the delay. Wuss probably thought the playing field would be level, and that judgement is now going to cost them dear.
