    The Barbarians who broke coronavirus protocols ahead of their scheduled rugby match with England, will not face a police investigation


    The team's two nights out led to the weekend fixture at Twickenham being cancelled on health grounds due to possible Covid-19 breaches.

    The decision cost the RFU an estimated two million dollars in lost broadcast income and sponsorship revenue.
