[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1013740, member: 72977"] I did write that with tongue in cheek. I agree that safety comes first and I don't begrudge teams pulling out and not taking the risk, same as I didn't begrudge limits on international appearances. Reality was this was always possible, probably inevitable. I know in the premiership they've changed what happens in the event to cases to a draw, so that it reflects the fact that it's going to be almost impossible to avoid cases, especially with the number of cases in the country. For me the question is have those in charge planned well enough and put into place contingencies so that it doesn't affect the credibility of the competition. I don't think the EPCR have done enough planning. The format is already showing issues once a team has lost once. On top, teams who may have had a chance like Exeter are now likely to miss out because of cases. As others have mentioned, this competition is going to become a farce very quickly at this rate.
