I'd say it's very unlikely that the rules will change between now and Friday, will Bath just refuse to travel?

There's no integrity left to hit!

I partially agree but Toulon very publicly did throw their toys out of the pram last year and it made no difference. The issue for the ERC is that if they keep ignoring big powerhouse European Clubs with stars on their shirts that's only going to go one way.

If only it was still the ERC running the competition....

Remember the great tournament we had when it was ERC run? I know the pandemic made a balls of things, but we have worst possible shower in charge to manage the competition through it.

They are bottom of the Premiership by some distance, there is no relegation, this is basically the only competition they are in. What a mess that club is in and then they have hired Van Graan to compound the misery.

French Government have dropped the 48 hour quarantine rule on arrival for those vaccinated travelling from the UK, negative test required pre departure just now less than 24 hours before departure. Comes in on Friday morning. Sale had already indicated they were going to travel Saturday for their game in Clermont in Sunday. Bath play in La Rochelle on Saturday and Scarlets play in Bordeaux on Sunday. Newcastle play in Biarritz on Friday night in Challenge Cup. Players / Coaches must be vaccinated to avoid 10 day quarantine on arrival in France.

Has a smell on the MonyP situation (i.e. hedge your bets for as long as you can cause the other team might end up being in worse nick then you)

Some team! A couple of guys on the bench I thought would start if they were fit but other then that......

No second row coverage......Ruddock I suppose?

McGrath vovering himself from the bench is a strange one too

So.... what's the difference to the Leinster situation? No obvious difference, except they've let the game go ahead. EPCR muppets.

I can think of at least 14 differences

The difference is that Munster can field a real team not just one on paper and they actually want to play.

Montpellier named a team thinking the game was going to be cancelled. They were horrified at the thought of playing, they probably hadn't even trained properly from earlier in the week.

Good for you

That Munster vs Castres decision is genuinely scandalous. Hope Munster put 50 on them. Would love to see every French team eliminated early after all of this.

What did Castres do?

Went to Limerick for a game before Christmas when most the other French clubs didn't travel and changed the rules to let them do it.
