Champions Cup organisers are exploring the possibility of hosting “destination” semi-finals in the same city in the future with Portugal among the places under consideration.

In a move that would ape the Top 14, which staged both its semi-finals in San Sebastián last season, it is understood that European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) is assessing whether it would be feasible to do so with its competition.
