Number of teams to qualify for next season's Champions Cup undecided

The number of teams that will participate in next season’s Heineken Champions Cup has not been decided and, as a result, PRO14 clubs do not know yet what they need to do to get into Europe’s premier competition for the 2021/22 season.

PRO14 clubs found out on Christmas Eve that there would not be any quarter-finals or semi-finals in this season’s campaign and that just the top team in each conference would go straight into the final to pave the way for a new competition from April to June involving the four big South African franchises.
