BBC article regarding European matches: European
Champions Cup organisers have ruled the 28-0 defeats registered against
Ospreys and Scarlets for Covid-hit round one games will stand. Ospreys were due to travel to Racing 92 in France while Scarlets had to call off going to Bristol. Cup chiefs say Ospreys and Scarlets' situations differed to round two games that were affected by French travel rules. Seven British-French games were called off and have been deemed 0-0 draws. |

Worth noting that Bordeaux also currently have 6 cases of covid in the camp - 2 identified on Fri, 2 yesterday and 2 more today.

How is it that we (Scarlets) are being penalised again,Cohen we we ready and able to play the game and it was the French Government that stopped the matches taking place.
What is the make up of the ERC committee, let me guess, is it mainly French..? I am really disappointed with the unfair decisions being made in these matches.

I do wonder though, if Bordeaux do have sufficient covid cases to prevent them fielding a team, will we get 4 points?

If they can't field a team we get 28-0 and 5 points.

Of course! That would do, 7 points after 3 games & a neutral points difference.

Piece of cake this European rugby. In all seriousness they are battling to maintain any relevance for this tournament. Have we had any news of Leinster's appeal I wonder. Surely they can't make a special case? The EPCR are obviously hoping that they get to the spring with 16 relatively worthy qualifiers which will make the knock out stages worthwhile.

Fscarlet says "It's a bloody mess". I have to agree. What is it with rugby administrators? They are so bad they must all be UK politicians in their spare time.

Too right , surely all cancelled/postponed games should either be replayed like the football or both sides given 2 points each not these random 28-0 and 5 points for one team in the current circumstances.

If we donβt get a 5 point, 28-0 win, should Bordeaux be found to have positive cases then this would confirm peoples views that ERC just make up the rules as they go along.
If we do get awarded it, then we would have done alright out of the first 3 rounds in Europe, 7 points out of a maximum 15, a zero points difference, with 2 away games and 1 away against the 2 favourites.
