Being awarded a walkover following the cancellation of their last 16 tie against Toulon, which was scheduled to take place at the RDS yesterday, is not how Leinster would have wanted it. Nor, most certainly, will the whole saga have gone down well in Toulon, where their sense of grievance is entirely understandable.
After one of their players, who was apparently in line to start the game, tested positive on Wednesday he was placed in isolation before the rest of the squad travelled to Dublin on Thursday. The entire playing and back-up staff underwent PCR testing again that evening and all recorded negative results.
