Munster have been given until next Wednesday to finalise their Heineken Champions Cup squad in the wake of their Covid-19 outbreak in South Africa, competition organisers announced on Thursday.

European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) has changed its tournament rules for both the 2021/22 Heineken Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup season to allow for an extended period of registration of players for the competitions.
