Now, with the situation haven worsened, their upcoming game against Brive is now threatened with a postponement. If it the Castres match is called off it will bring to four the number of Top 14 games called off after previous postponements of State Francais vs Bordeaux and La Rochelle vs Racing.

A Castres statement read: “After the revelation of three positive cases for Covid-19 on October 1, Castres saw our match in Montpellier postponed to a later date. Unfortunately, after the tests carried out on Monday, there are now eleven new positive cases in the workforce and consequently an active circulation of the virus.

“The club has communicated all the information to the LNR to analyse the situation. In the meantime, training has been suspended until Friday. Castres have isolated positive players.”

Castres’ statement was soon followed by the LNR confirming next Saturday’s match postponement. “After reading the additional elements in the file, and after consulting the Covid-19 expertise committee, the National Rugby League Office will make a decision Thursday concerning the holding of the match.”

Confirmation is also awaited from league officials regarding the status of the Racing league match this Saturday against Toulouse. The Champions Cup finalists had nine positive cases last week, but they are hoping to get the all-clear when the results emerge from the latest round of testing carried out this Wednesday. That will then clear the way for the October 17 European decider against Exeter at Bristol.

Back in January, I got caught up in a cryptocurrency scam that really turned my life upside down. I invested a jaw-dropping $214,000 in BNB on what I thought was a legitimate crypto site. For a while, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and I was excited about the returns I was expecting. But then, when I tried to withdraw my profits, everything fell apart. The scammers froze my account and demanded more money, claiming I had breached some sort of agreement. I was completely devastated and felt trapped in a nightmare. It got so overwhelming that I started having dark thoughts about ending it all. Thankfully, my family noticed I was struggling and stepped in when I finally opened up about what was happening. During one of our talks, my niece mentioned a group called (Trust Geeks Hack Expert). She had heard they helped people recover their stolen cryptocurrencies, and I was intrigued. I thought, “Could this be my saving grace?” So, I decided to reach out to them and explain my situation in detail. To my surprise, (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) was incredibly responsive and compassionate. They reassured me that they had dealt with cases like mine before and would do everything they could to help. I was a bit skeptical, but I was also desperate for a solution. Amazingly, within about three days if I remember correctly they managed to recover the entire $214,000 that I had lost! I was in shock. It felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. If you’re reading this and you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) enough. They are truly exceptional at what they do. Reach out for help, and don’t hesitate to contact them. (Trust Geeks Hack Expert)
