Because of the Darragh storm, the USAP left 7 hours late, and instead of taking off from Perpignan-Rivesaltes airport, she had to go to Girona in the early evening to join her private plane. Takeoff, therefore, at 9:56 p.m. from Catalonia, arriving at 12:15 a.m. on Dutch soil. And not before 1 a.m. at the hotel. As a result, the Catalan club made a request, on Saturday evening, to the EPCR (European Professional Club Rugby), the body which manages the European Cup, to postpone the match for two hours for a kick-off around 4 p.m. Request refused!
Hello and thank you for finding us on our site, to follow live this first day of the EPCR Challenge Cup between the Cheetahs (South Africa) et l'USA Perpignan which will begin at 2 p.m. at the NRCA Stadium in Amsterdam.
