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!
