Leinster’s Heineken Champions Cup encounter away to Montpellier, due to be played tomorrow night, has been cancelled with the hosts awarded a 28-0 win and five match points in accordance with what the EPCR say are the tournament rules.

The decision was made as a result of a meeting today of a Match Risk Medical Committee which is made up of doctors from the organiser’s Medical Advisory Group and an independent medical specialist with experience in virology.
