Top 14 game between Bordeaux-Begles and Clermont postponed due to Covid-19

The Top 14 fixture between Bordeaux-Begles and Clermont Auvergne has been postponed due to a Covid-19 outbreak.

The game was scheduled to be played on Saturday at Stade Marcel Michelin but now will be played at a different date.

The decision follows after nine Clermont players have tested positive in the latest round of testing leaving them short of front-row options.

“As a result, the competitions committee has therefore announced, in application of the Covid-19 protocol, the postponement to a later date of the Clermont Auvergne v Bordeaux-Bègles meeting initially scheduled for this Sunday February 6, 2022,” the LNR said.

Clermont are positioned seventh in the Top 14 table with seven wins from 15 games while Bordeaux hold the top place in the table with 12 victories.
