Upon the announcement of the cancellation of the Montpellier-Castres match scheduled for next weekend, due to Covid-19 within the Hérault club, CA Brive requested the National Rugby League and the leaders of Castres Olympique to use the date thus released and bring forward the Castres-Brive meeting of Wednesday 2 December. However, this change of schedule would have allowed Brive toavoid a series of 3 away games in a week.
But the rugby authority and the Castres club gave an end of inadmissibility to the Brivist leaders this Wednesday. In a press release, the CAB announces its “total incomprehension of this refusal” emphasizing that “the opponent was able to field a team [ce week-end là] for Montpellier but not for Brive “.
Brivist leaders add to have the impression of “Two weights, two measures” in the Top 14, recalling that the CAB is a small club with a small staff and that it seems essential to protect the health of its players.
