Eleven new COVID-19 cases at Top 14 club

NEWS: Top 14 club Castres, who have already had to forfeit one game and postpone another because of coronavirus, on Wednesday reported 11 new cases of COVID-19 in their squad.

It means Castres’ home league match against Brive on Saturday will likely be postponed to a later date.

Castres were forced to forfeit their European Challenge Cup quarterfinal against Leicester last month after four positive cases, including three players, were revealed.

There were three more cases on October 1 which led to their Top 14 match against Montpellier postponed.

After the 11 new cases, Castres announced that training was suspended until Friday and that the players who tested positive were in self-isolation.
