Munster's pre-season friendly against Biarritz Olympique, which was set to be played Friday, August 22, has been cancelled by the Basque club.

Biarritz informed Munster Rugby this week that due to a delay to pitch renovations at the Stade Aguilera, they would be unable to host the province for the match.

Both clubs explored alternative venues in an attempt to fulfill the fixture, however, no viable solutions were found.

After the disappointing decision Munster will now make alternative arrangements regarding pre-season preparations.
