- Women’s game at Twickenham attracts world-record crowd
- Qualifying for Women’s Cricket World Cup is abandoned
Saturday’s match between the Barbarian men’s team and Samoa at Twickenham was cancelled just 90 minutes before kick-off due to coronavirus cases among the invitational side.
A statement released by the Rugby Football Union (RFU) revealed four Barbarians players and two members of staff had tested positive for Covid-19. In a separate statement on Twitter, Barbarians claimed that they had 23 available players “who all tested negative [on Saturday] morning.”
