Montpellier Hérault Rugby has announced a fifth case of Covid-19 within its workforce following tests carried out on Monday, December 13. “The team is now training in separate groups before being tested again this Wednesday, December 15”, specifies the MHR in a press release. After the first day of the Champions Cup and the defeat on the lawn of the English Exeter (42-6), two players and two members of the management had already tested positive and placed in isolation. This new case casts doubt on the holding of the match on Friday in the European Cup against the Irish Leinster at GGL Stadium.
According to the regulations of the organizer of the European Cup, if one of the teams cannot be able to play this meeting, it will be forfeited.
