EPCR IS WAITING on a decision from the French government as to whether Top 14 clubs will be able to fulfill two rounds of Champions Cup and Challenge Cup pool fixtures this month.
The European competitions would be hugely disrupted if the French clubs are forbidden from playing international games amidst the latest wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
