Quins v Cardiff

Highly unlikely to be on (18/12) with Cardiff stuck in SA with
COVID in the group. Have to quarantine in SA and then back in
the UK

I think it is not that easy. Players need to be registered for
the competition. From my understanding, you can't just suddenly
register all your academy

available.

Given the situation, if the options are to relax the
registration rules or to cancel games then they are more likely
to relax the registration criteria.

Looking at their squad, the front row situation could be a
challenge.
They have 6 loose heads and 6 h0okers - but only 4 tight-heads.
I would assume that they took spare props to SA just in case
they had any injuries.
If so, they could be short in this area. I am sure that the
rules are that you need to have a full front row on the bench
for any game.
So, even if they do relax the rules, you may be getting some
very junior front rows in - and then you have to consider the
safety of the players.

They might rather take the hit and forfeit the game rather than
field the academy and get a mullering against our first team.

Am guessing the other view is 28-0 forfeit = 5points to Quins.
Could fielding academy players possibly lessen that blow? And
would it be good giving game time to their less experienced
squad members..
