Chiefs' opponents hit with covid

Nine confirmed positive ahead of European final

French side Racing 92 have been hit by several positive coronavirus cases just two weeks before their European Champions Cup final against Exeter Chiefs. 

Nine people at the club tested positive and must now self-isolate. However, it's unclear how many cases are from the playing squad. 

The club is implementing emergency measures to halt the spread. Its training centre is being closed for at least five days to undergo “complete decontamination of the site."

New tests will be carried out next week with the results dictating when individual and team training can resume.

Racing 92 were scheduled to play La Rochelle in the TOP 14 this weekend, but that game is postponed.
