can anyone tell me why footballers who test positive are named but in Rugby it is a secret and we have to guess who it is.

The Premier League don't reveal which clubs the players/staff who test positive play for or their identity. Some clubs release the names, some players might confirm it, but there's no reason why they have to and not all do. It doesn't really matter if they reveal the names or not.
Exactly. There is no benefit to the club or player by releasing the name as 0 conclusions can be drawn from it. They could have caught it from touching the garden fence that the postman had touched or from being in a super market or at dinner with 5 other friends.EagleEyePie wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:21 pmThe Premier League don't reveal which clubs the players/staff who test positive play for or their identity.

Exactly. Don't know why they just don't announce it and stop the speculation/whispers. Hardly a big secret.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 12:32 pm Third one now positive. I think, looking at the players omitted from the squad, that we can work out who they are.
Why do they need to announce it though? Why do you need to know?Wintergreen wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 1:08 pmExactly. Don't know why they just don't announce it and stop the speculation/whispers.

Just a matter of fact statement. e.g. Player A and Player B are ruled out due to a positive Covid test.nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 1:18 pmWhy do they need to announce it though?
