Harlequins Women v Saracens Women

Following an investigation relating to breaches of the agreed COVID Minimum Operating Standards that require that all training sessions must be recorded to assist with the required contact tracing protocols, the Allianz Premier 15s Disputes Committee concluded that the match between Harlequins Women and Saracens Women (originally due to be played on 2 January) will be cancelled and the result deemed to be won by Saracens [0-0] with five league points allocated to Saracens Women.

An appeal lodged by Harlequins Women was heard by an independent panel and the decision of the committee has been upheld.

Harlequins Women v Wasps FC Ladies

Further to the cancellation of Harlequins Women v Saracens Women, the RFU can confirm the round 10 Allianz Premier 15s fixture between Harlequins Women and Wasps FC Ladies will now be played on Saturday 20 February (kick-off 2pm).

The match, originally due to take place on Saturday 9 January, was postponed due to ongoing Covid-19 concerns within the Harlequins camp and provisionally rearranged for Saturday 20 February.

An appeal lodged by Wasps FC Ladies was heard by an independent panel and the decision of the committee has been upheld.

Harlequins Women v Wasps FC Ladies will take place at Surrey Sports Park and will be streamed live on England Rugby and Allianz Premier 15s channels.
