Which team will Cardiff line up, if there is a match, on Saturday 11 December for the arrival of Stade Toulousain? Returning to the United Kingdom on Friday, the Welsh will have to compose without the 28 players placed in quarantine.
10 days of quarantine in London
One thing is certain, the Cardiff players who returned from South Africa this Friday will not be able to play against Toulouse. Indeed, they are now starting a ten-day quarantine in a hotel in London. Six other club members remained in Cape Town, tested positive a few days ago. In total, 28 players and 14 members of the management are in solitary confinement.
EPCR does not want postponement, Cardiff will do everything to play
If the EPCR, organizer of the European Cup, has relaxed its regulations to allow the club to qualify more players for the Champions Cup, however, there is no question of considering a postponement. Lack of space in the calendar. The Welsh will therefore have to succeed in finding the number of players sufficient to field a team at Arms Park. Fortunately for them, several internationals did not make the trip to South Africa and will apply for this European meeting.
