Rugby in chaos!
Rugby in chaos! Concerns the season will be called off grow as Premiership clubs delay return to training due to health worries... while coronavirus testing is proving too expensive
- Premiership clubs have pushed back the proposed return to training
- There are health and safety concerns, and testing is proving too expensive
- One player has told Sportsmail: 'I don't see the league being back in July's
Concerns about medical support including CPR provision, and doubts about the ability to fund a coronavirus testing programme, have forced Premiership rugby clubs to delay their proposed return to training.
The setback raises fears the season won't be completed. On Thursday, a conference call meeting of the Professional Game Board, including representatives from the RFU, Premiership Rugby, the RPA players' union and the Championship clubs, confirmed that players cannot resume group activities for at least a fortnight.
However, players are privately resigned to the shutdown dragging on far longer and possibly leading to the cancellation of the disrupted domestic campaign.
