Barbarians sanctioned after breaking COVID-19 protocol

Rugby

Former England captain Chris Robshaw and scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth are among 13 players who have been hit with suspensions for their COVID-19 breaches which saw the Barbarians’ fixture against England cancelled.

The game was set to take place in October but was called off after a number of Barbarians players breached COVID-19 bio-bubble protocols in the week building up to the game.

Thirteen players have since been charged with breaches of the RFU’s code of conduct.

The group have been separated into four smaller pools, depending on their roles in the breaches.
