Dragons return to France postponed

Catalans Dragons first match back in the south of France against Leeds Rhinos has been postponed.

The match was due to take place on 7th September, but positive tests earlier this week mean the match is called off for the second time.

Three players and a member of  staff for the Dragons tested positive for coronavirus following their Challenge Cup tie against Wakefield Trinity.

Their mandatory 14-day quarantine will go past that date, so the match will be rearranged.

It was originally scheduled for March, but was postponed because of the Rhinos squad needing to self-isolate after a member of their squad displayed symptoms.

A decision over a new date for the game will be made in due course.
