.

Dan Luger, 16th man ring any bells? Although probably not technically a substitution as we didn’t bother taking off anyone.

I was very young at the time so no recollection unfortunately

EXCLUSIVE: London Irish's game at Bristol in doubt

EXCLUSIVE: Sportsmail understands a couple of squad members were found to be positive after lateral flow tests, so now the club have arranged secondary PCR tests to double check.

Bristol v Irish cancelled.
Turned a whole heap of games pointless now

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Can they not organise a friendly between Bristol and Worcester?

Not really - that's been the case for most of this season

Not sure I really agree with that.
The extra money from champions cup has imo made for some very tense games recently.

I have a bridge to sell you.

Afoa was "tactical" until the point Lam required him "injured", then he was "injured" until it dawned on Lam that they'd be playing with 13 at which point the safety of Afoa became moot and he allowed the player to return.

I'll give Lam credit for his post-hoc rationalisation of the situation. But he straight up lied and threatened Ian Tempest. If Afoa's safety was ever a real concern Lam should have denied him the ability to return to the fray which he singularly failed to do. He then effectively passes his duty of care to John Afoa who he said made his own decision....

He even stated he was injured and if he had to return then the risk would be on the referee!!!
Once the ref explained about going down to 13, suddenly he changed his tune.

This is good awareness from Lam and trying to find the best way for his team to win, but he is 'CHEATING'.

Retrospective action should be taken on him.

They should get the same amount of points sarries got when thier opponents covid cancelled 0

Erm no.
They should get the same points as for every other tie a Prem match has been cancelled for Covid 0-0 on the score card; 4 league points to the unaffected team, and 2 points to the affected team

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They should get the same amount of points sarries got when thier opponents covid cancelled 0

No, Sarries should get the same as all the other games (4-2 split)
