Leinster are refusing to take the cancellation of their Champions Cup match against Montepellier lying down with the province poised to appeal the EPCR’s decision to award the French side a 28-0 win and all five match points.

Leo Cullen’s side were hit by a handful of positive Covid cases last Friday week, the day before they opened their Heineken Champions Cup campaign at home to Bath, and further cases cropped up during the course of the current week.
