Wakefield chief executive Michael Carter admits his club could be badly hit by the new Covid regulations introduced by the French Government which he believes could call into the question the integrity of the Super League competition. The government has indicated that exemptions will not be made for athletes who are based outside France so it could have an impact on rugby union’s Six Nations tournament in addition to Super League. “We’re having a meeting on Thursday about the whole Covid issue,” Carter told the PA news agency. Carter added: “One of the questions I want to ask is if they were to decide to and get themselves their first vaccination, would that cover them? Toulouse Olympique are due to make their Super League bow on February 12 (PA Images/Richard Sellers)“There are others that are adamant that they’re not having the vaccination so I won’t be changing their minds.
