Despite the decision to award a 28-0 walkover to their opponents earlier this month, Leinster head coach Leo Cullen remains hopeful that his side’s Heineken Champions Cup clash away to Montpellier will be rescheduled for some point in the New Year.

After being given clearance by both Irish and French public health authorities for a trip to the Top 14 outfit on December 17, European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) subsequently cancelled the game due to concerns over a rising number of Covid-19 cases within their camp.
