[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1024762, member: 58362"] I don't think that there's any need for the caveats. Bernard Laporte's statement makes it clear that there were two serious bubble breaches and that he himself doesn't understand the principle of a bubble or anything much about the virus and how to control its spread. It's not just about placing opponents at a disadvantage, it's about placing them at unnecesary risk and by extension their own country and those that they are visiting. Given the crass, blatant nature of the breaches, the lack of contrition and the lack of understanding (incubation periods, the purpose of masks) that key personnel (Laporte and Galthié) have shown, I am hopeful that the French government will conclude that FFR aren't responsible enough to continue to receive the relaxation in covid mitigation rules / laws that they are currently benefitting from. Now that it is clear that France failed to do everything necessary to minimise risk, the 28-0 win absolutely should be awarded to Scotland and France should be kicked out of the competition unless they can demonstrate that they have put administrators into place who understand the protocols and the basic principles of infection control. Given that this would require the 6N committee to put safety and integrity before money, I don't hold out much hope of this happening. #rugbyvalues [/QUOTE]
