Elstadt deprived of travel to Munster
- 2301
Due to new EPCR health regulations which adapt to Irish government measures, Stade Toulouse will not be able to field Springbok flanker Rynhardt Elstadt on Saturday at Thomond Park.
The 31-year-old returned to South Africa during the vacation period to pass the airline pilot's license to prepare for his post-career. The club had therefore granted him permission to go there even if, despite the health situation, the player had to respect a time of isolation on his return.
#MUNST, Ugo #Mola : "Rynhardt Elstadt avait un examen de pilote de ligne en Afrique du Sud. Il y est allé en accord avec les règles gouvernementales.

Il est rentré, a respecté une septaine et s'est entraîné mais les règles irlandaises ne lui permettent pas de jouer ce week-end."
After passing all the necessary PCR tests which turned out negative, Elstadt resumed training normally at the start of the week.
