Ulster support decision to postpone French games after Paris attacks

Ulster returned home on Saturday afternoon and Cunningham said: “There are much more important things in the world than rugby. It has been a devastating series of events and our thoughts and prayers are with the French public and everyone who has been so tragically affected. You can certainly get an idea within this town of Oyonnax, just how devastated they are. It’s just a terrible, terrible time.

“We fully support EPCR’s (European Professional Club Rugby) position on this. Decisions like this require a lot of thought and it’s a very difficult thing for them, under exceptional circumstances, to get all those messages out. “We’ll go back home this evening and await confirmation of when the rescheduled fixture will be.”
