- Officials looking at whether the other five matches can go ahead
- Only four teams announced their sides at the scheduled time
Sale’s match against Worcester at the AJ Bell Stadium on Sunday has been postponed until Wednesday after 16 Sharks players tested positive on Thursday for Covid-19.
However, Premiership Rugby’s decision is subject to a number of conditions, with an additional round of testing required while neither of the teams can register any new players with the Rugby Football Union prior to the game.Furthermore, an independent audit of the track and trace at Sale must be undertaken over the next few days before the game is played.
