'This morning, Munster Rugby were making plans to join their fellow URC sides in departing Cape Town for Dublin by charter.
'After arriving at their hotel in Cape Town late last night the squad underwent a round of PCR testing ahead of today’s possible departure. The returning results have identified one positive case. 'In taking all precautions and prioritising the health and wellbeing of everyone Munster Rugby will not travel today and will return to their hotel for an isolation period as a matter of priority. The province will await further guidance from the health authorities.'
'The travelling party had hoped to depart Cape Town this afternoon after a charter plane was secured, however PCR tests undertaken last night have returned two positive results. 'As a consequence of one of these results suspected of being Omicron, the entire travelling party have returned to their hotel to isolate. 'Cardiff Rugby continue to work with the South African Rugby Union, the Welsh Rugby Union and public health authorities both at home and abroad to decide the next course of action. The club are also continuing to work with all relevant authorities to secure the travelling party’s return to Wales when safe and appropriate.'Munster may now have to wait until more tests are carried out on Monday to see if there are more cases in their squad. They could be forced to carry out their period of quarantine in South Africa, rather than travelling home to do so. Related links:
