  • In the Event That the PRL Panel Decide That a Referred
    Decision of PRL Panel regarding the appropriate points allocation following the cancellation of the Gallagher Premiership Rugby Match between Northampton Saints and Leicester Tigers. Date: Saturday 9th January 2020 Panel: Andy Higginson (PRL Chairman) Darren Childs (PRL CEO) Phil Winstanley (PRL Rugby Director) Summary of Panel’s Decision 1. As a result of Northampton Saints’ inability to fulfil a fixture as a result of Covid-19 and the cancellation of the Round 6 Gallagher Premiership match between Northampton Saints and Leicester Tigers, Leicester Tigers shall be awarded the win and 4 league points and Northampton Saints shall be deemed to have lost the match but awarded 2 league points. The match score shall be recorded as 0 – 0. Background to the match cancellation 2. Club testing completed on Monday 28th December as part of the weekly Premiership Rugby testing programme presented one positive case. There was no evidence that this case had any contact with the subsequent cases set out below. 3. Club testing completed on Monday 4th January 2021 as part of the weekly Premiership Rugby testing programme presented 7 positive cases (5 new positives and 2 confirmatory results following symptomatic positives from Saturday 2nd January 2021). With the number of cases seen this week and given the rapid spread of cases that has been seen previously in rugby clubs after similar outbreaks, Public Health England could not rule out if this was the start of a Covid-19 outbreak within the club. This was of particular concern in respect of the increased infectiousness of the new variant and the potential impact from a player and staff welfare point of view, together with the wider public health of their families and the community, it was considered unwise for the club to continue training.

This is due the chair taking a break in service. I would express my thanks to a proficient committee who effectively and efficiently “carried on regardless”. During the first period many of the applications could not receive approval because of common themes emerging from disparity between the IRAS form and the PIS and ICF. A cross check of information could have eradicated the majority of these errors, permitting the application to proceed unhindered. Other stumbling blocks that arose in several applications was the lack of consideration to the consequences of actions such as stress and possible parental conflict, such consequences should be anticipated and either avoided or mechanisms instituted to allay concerns.
