REUTERS: England's non-cap match against Barbarians on Sunday has been cancelled after some players breached COVID-19 quarantine rules, the Rugby Football Union said in a statement on Friday.

"As part of its ongoing investigation into a breach of the Covid code of conduct that took place on 21 October, the RFU has today discovered there was an earlier undisclosed breach that took place on 20 October when a number of Barbarians players left the hotel bubble without permission and without informing organisers about their whereabouts," an RFU statement said.

RFU chief Bill Sweeney said he was"incredibly disappointed" that the fixture was cancelled but that the priority was the health and safety of the England squad and the other international teams they will go up against this Autumn."We are all incredibly frustrated and disappointed that the actions of a number of Barbarians players mean we no longer feel it is safe for the game to go ahead," he said.
