| Well, points for no game, well if they miss out on promotion, I'll raise a glass and smirk!

The President of Toulouse Olympique XIII Bernard SARRAZAIN
{Snip}I salute the firmness of the RFL, whose decision does not open the door to this type of drift. "'"
How very un-french. They were so welcoming before...well at least twice....maybe it's because we're not German?.

| If the club was doing this on safety grounds I'd be backing them 100% but they're not. Nowhere in the statement does it say this is because travelling to France is unsafe. They've stamped their feet, screamed "it's not fair", and refused to play a game. The RFL have no option but to award Toulouse the points. SL should have done the same when Leeds and St Helens refused to travel to Catalans last year, but Elstone was too weak to take on two of the biggest clubs in the game.
The much bigger question is what happens when Toulouse win all their away games but are denied promotion because no-one travelled to France and they were unable to meet the 70% threshold. This has got disaster written all over it.

| If the Broncos game is not counted as a game & if nobody else goes (not counted as games), would they just need to complete 70% of their away games to meet that particular criteria?

God knows. But I think we can safely assume that if the situation does arise then the RFLs final decision will, as always, benefit the northern clubs over anyone else.

I would of thought it was pretty obvious that one of the reasons (probably the main reason) for the club not going to France is the Covid infection rate. How can any organisation know 6 weeks before traveling what the situation is going to be with Covid infection rates. The government is still not confirming if international travel will start on the 17th May which is just over 5 weeks away.

That's all well and good, but the club's statement was presumably written yesterday and it doesn't mention safety as a factor at all. Simply that it's not fair that we should go and no-one else.

Maybe they ran out of letters in their play set!

Did they offer Toulouse a free polo shirt?
