Toulouse will now play their Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final against Ulster at their own Stade Ernest-Wallon on Sunday, September 20th.

Tournament organisers EPCR say the move from the city’s bigger Le Stadium – 4km to the south – is due to local health restrictions in Toulouse, with the game going ahead at the same time, with a 1.30pm local time kick-off.

The game will be broadcast live on Virgin Media, as well as Channel 4 and BT Sport.
