Connacht v Benetton game postponed due to Covid-19

Connacht’s Round Four PRO14 match against Benetton in Galway on Sunday has been postponed due to Covid-19.

The PRO14’s organisers revealed the news via a statement on their official website.

Benetton unable to travel

“The game was due to take place on Sunday, November 1 in Galway, however, Benetton will not be able to travel due to a small number of isolated positive cases of Covid-19,” the statement read.

“Public health guidelines in Italy currently prevent the Benetton squad from resuming rugby activities and as a result the fixture cannot take place as planned.

“PRO14 Rugby can also confirm that Scarlets, who Benetton played in Round Three, have returned negative results from their PCR testing this week.

“PRO14 Rugby will examine potential dates in early 2021 to reschedule the game.”
