Leinster's Heineken Champions Cup match against Montpellier has been called off with the French side awarded a 28-0 win

The teams were due to meet tomorrow evening in France in a second-round Pool A clash and earlier today named their starting XVs.

Tournament rules stipulate that the team not at fault for the cancellation is awarded a 28-0 victory. "The Match Risk Assessment Committee, made up of medical doctors from EPCR's Medical Advisory Group as well as an independent medical specialist with experience in virology, advised EPCR of its concerns following new positive Covid-19 test results from the Leinster Rugby playing squad, and regrettably the decision was made to cancel the match.

Leinster Rugby subsequently expressed its "disappointment with EPCR over the decision to award a 28-0 win in Montpellier's favour." "At all times Leinster Rugby has complied with all measures and protocols required of the club by EPCR, and by the HSE, and will continue to do so.
