London To Host 2015 EPCR Finals
12th August 2014 By Munster Rugby
Twickenham and The Stoop were today announced as the venues for the inaugural EPCR finals in May 2015.
The two highest profile matches in the 2014/15 European club rugby calendar will be staged in the English capital following the announcement by EPCR that London is set to host the finals of the new-look European Rugby Champions Cup and European Rugby Challenge Cup tournaments.
The Challenge Cup decider will go ahead at the Twickenham Stoop on Friday, May 1st 2015 with the Champions Cup final played the following day at the 82,000 capacity Twickenham Stadium as the culmination of the 20th season in the history of European club rugby.
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) was awarded the inaugural finals by the EPCR Board following a competitive tender process which was open to the six countries which provide clubs for the Aviva Premiership, the Top 14 and the Guinness PRO12 competitions. The RFU's successful bid will guarantee the best possible financial return to the clubs.
Munster will face Sale Sharks, Saracens and Clermont Auvergne in Pool 1 of the Champions Cup with match dates and kick-off times to be announced Thursday at 2pm.
