A final by default?

The semi-finals between Toulouse and Poitiers and Tours in Paris having been canceled, Tours and Poitiers should compete for the title on Sunday (6 p.m.), still in Toulouse, but behind closed doors, according to the same source. Four Toulouse players as well as two members of the staff were declared positive, AFP learned from corroborating sources, while several cases were also identified in Paris, according to a statement from the Parisian club.

The tests passed by the clubs of Tours and Poitiers, however, did not give rise to any positive case, which should allow the two clubs to face each other in the final. A good opportunity for the Touraineers, record holder of the event, to add a title to their record.
