The RFU has confirmed it will charge 13 Barbarians players with "conduct prejudicial to the interest of the Union or Game" after their breach of Covid-19 protocols caused their match against England to be cancelled. #sorry — Fergus McFadden (@fergmcfadden) October 23, 2020The RFU said the unnamed players face a range of charges, including "individual breaches of the protocols" and "providing false statements during an investigation". The 13 players' names will be published after the hearings because of the public scrutiny they faced. They may face fines, match bans "or any other suitable sanction", but there will be no police investigation into their actions. Fergus is going to take some time now to focus on his career."
