EPCR Statement | Munster v Castres To Go Ahead As Planned
17th December 2021 By The Editor
A view of Thomond Park.
Following a meeting of the EPCR Board today (Friday, 17 December) it has been decided that due to current exceptional circumstances, Round 2 matches in the Heineken Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup between French and UK clubs scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday are postponed.
This is a consequence of new travel measures between the UK and France which are being introduced by the French Government.
All other Round 2 matches scheduled for this evening (Friday), and over the weekend, will go ahead as planned – including Munster’s game against Castres on Saturday night.
The Munster team has been named here with tickets only available online here.
The intention is to reschedule the following Round 2 fixtures to a later date:
Champions Cup
Bath Rugby v Stade Rochelais
Sale Sharks v ASM Clermont Auvergne
Scarlets v Union Bordeaux-Bègles
Stade Toulousain v Wasps
Stade Francais Paris v Bristol Bears
Challenge Cup
Worcester Warriors v Biarritz Olympique
London Irish v CA Brive
EPCR will provide a further update as soon as practicable and will continue to liaise directly with all clubs, leagues and stakeholders.
