Following a meeting of the EPCR Board today it was 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.
The Board received briefings from the three professional leagues which included updated information from the respective governments, however, there were insufficient assurances that these matches would not be at risk.
Therefore, the intention is to reschedule the following Round 2 fixtures to a later date:
HEINEKEN 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
EPCR CHALLENGE CUP
Worcester Warriors v Biarritz Olympique
London Irish v CA Brive
All other Round 2 matches scheduled for this evening (Friday), and over the weekend, will go ahead as planned.
EPCR will provide a further update as soon as practicable and will continue to liaise directly with all clubs, leagues and stakeholders.
