After consultation with the medical leads at Premiership Rugby, the RFU and Public Health England, the Club will continue not to train at this stage. A decision on whether the Club will play in Saturday’s Premiership Rugby Final will be made following the results of a further set of tests to be undertaken on Tuesday.
The Club’s COVID-19 contact tracing, measures and protocols, which remain rigorous, will continue to be adhered to.
Exeter Chiefs and Bristol Bears have been made aware of the situation prior to the public release of this information.
If they cannot field a team on Saturday, Bristol Bears will instead face Exeter at Twickenham.
The final decision will be taken by the Rugby Football Union, Premiership Rugby and Public Health England officials and is expected by lunch-time Wednesday (21/10)
Bristol Triumphed in the European Challenge Cup final against Toulon last Friday, but firmly believe Wasps should be playing in the Premiership Final vs Exeter but Head Coach Pat Lam said,
“We ourselves have been put in a situation that isn’t ideal, but everything with Covid isn’t ideal, including the fact we’re waiting for the final to be played now at the end of the season we’ve had.”
