BB quotes the 'no-fault Insolvency Events':
"Upon an affected Club’s application the RFU may in its absolute discretion reduce or waive in its entirety any sanction that would otherwise apply to a Club under Regulations 5.5.5 to 5.5.8 where it is satisfied that the Insolvency Event would not have occurred but for an event or circumstance which was beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the affected Club and which by the exercise of reasonable diligence the affected Club was unable to prevent, including (but not limited to): .... and any epidemic or pandemic as categorised as such by the UK Government and/or the World Health Organisation."
I think it can be argued that the current financial climate is partly due to the pandemic which was beyond the club's control.

Deserved yellow. We've just lost all intensity and are constantly giving penalties away. Plus Glaws have actually turned up

Just not clinical enough in the final few yards. Left a lot of points out there which is frustrating. But can't fault the effort against a much more expensively assembled team.

Very tight so far. Think we've got the slight upperhand in the scrum and maul going OK. Just worried that a small slip and with their ball carriers they can make it a try. Got to keep the focus up as we are currently out-working them.
