Bristol Bears' game against London Irish in the Gallagher Premiership this afternoon has been called off, following a number of positive Covid-19 cases from the London Irish camp.

A Premiership Rugby spokesperson said: "Our priority is the health and safety of everyone involved with London Irish and Bristol Bears and we will give the clubs any support they need. We wish everyone affected a full and speedy recovery.

"Neither Premiership Rugby nor the club will be naming any of the players or staff involved and we'd ask everyone to respect their privacy."

A panel will now meet to discuss the allocation of points.
