       Hi guys,
       The list of 66 on the EPCR site isn't very accurate and shows
       the wrong positions for a number of players.
       You're right that front row players would be a big concern and
       theres also a lack of available second row forwards. I agree
       theres a safety aspect to this.
       The are 32 players out in South Africa. There were half a dozen
       Welsh internationals who were rested and didnt go on the tour.
       Plus Olly Robinson who was set to play for the Barbarians. Plus
       Dan Fish who is an academy coach still registered as a player
       for emergencies.
       The other players still in the UK are all academy players. Any
       23 selected would likely feature about two thirds making their
       debut at this level.
       The rules allow for 5 players to be added to a european squad
       but a 3 month contract minimum is required. We have a semi
       professional squad for welsh league rugby so they could probably
       meet the criteria and be added. But of course, they're part time
       players.
       My hunch is that we wont play the game as the priority is
       bringing this complete clusterfuck to a close and getting the
       players home. Noone is thinking about anything else.

       There was talk on the BBC rugby pod that the game could very
       well be called off, given the reasons you've listed there I'd be
       surprised if it went ahead now.

       Works out well for us. BP win, a weeks rest for the team and
       then Cardiff hopefully back to play their game the following
       week!!!

       Having missed the last couple of home games, I was looking
       forward to this one. I realise no-one cares and there are far
       bigger issues, but shame that the pre-Christmas game looks like
       it'll be cancelled.

       I was looking forward to playing a team other than a prem team
       for a change so I’m disappointed but rules have to be followed.
       How long is it likely to be before we know for certain what will
       happen and if elite sport status and super testing could be a
       way through this situation.  ( not that I’m offended but how did
       that word get through the profanity blocker or is it a Welsh
       word that means something else)

       Paragraph 4.3 of the STH T&Cs states "If a fixture or event it
       [is]cancelled or played behind closed doors due to a reason out
       of
       our control, such as the impact of COVID-19 [,] the Club will
       make reasonable efforts to
       contact those supporters effected [affected] and offer either a
       full refund or Quins Credit which
       can then be used towards future ticket purchases." My edits. Or,
       they could go down the voluntary donation route.
       Club and supporters will be happy with 5 points but the bank
       balance will take a hit.
