Former England captain Chris Robshaw and his Barbarians team-mates who broke coronavirus protocols last week will not face a police investigation. This Sunday's Quilter Cup fixture has been cancelled following several breaches of the Covid code of conduct within the Barbarians squad. “The Met will not investigate COVID breaches retrospectively unless they are the most dangerous and flagrant breaches of the regulations. Five players including Robshaw and his former England team-mate Richard Wigglesworth apologised on social media for breaching protocols. The resulting loss in revenue from the Barbarians’ misdemeanour comes at a time when the RFU are battling a financial crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic that has resulted in 140 people being made redundant.
