“I would not wish the illness I have seen with some of the players on anyone at another club,” says London Irish’s director of rugby. London Irish face Harlequins at the Stoop for their first match since before Christmas following an outbreak of coronavirus at the club that forced the closure of their training ground. You could consider Covid to be a type of injury, if in a much bigger way. I would not want to see any club affected by the virus, no matter what advantage it gave just. Quins have yet to record a “home” win on their own ground this season, losing to Exeter, Racing 92 and Bristol.
