The meeting between Bayonne and Agen, scheduled for Saturday, was postponed due to "the presence of several positive players for Covid-19 in the workforce" in Agen, the LNR announced Thursday.

This match, counting for the 15th day of the Top 14, was postponed "to a later date", explained the National Rugby League.

According to France Bleu, at least three cases have been detected in the SUA workforce.

"All our players concerned are asymptomatic and placed in solitary confinement," the club said on its Twitter account.

Agen is currently bottom of the Top 14 with fifteen defeats in as many matches.

Bayonne, 12th, is the team most affected by postponements with three late matches, two of which are already rescheduled, in Castres (February 6) and Toulon (February 27 or 28).

The Basque club had to close its training center for 12 days at the end of December-beginning of January after the detection of ten positive cases identified following the reception of the English from Leicester in the European Challenge (December 19).
