Ulster rugby game in France cancelled as mark of respect for terror victims

A number of sporting fixtures have been cancelled following a raft of terror attacks which claimed the lives of 128 people in Paris.

All European Rugby Champions Cup and Challenge Cup matches due to be played in France this weekend have been called off as a mark of respect. Ulster were due to play Oyonnax in the European Rugby Champions Cup today, but that has since been postponed. Other Rugby Union games have been cancelled including:

Racing 92 v Glasgow

Pau v Castres Olympique

Bordeaux-Begles v ASM Clermont Auvergne

RC Toulon v Bath

Meanwhile, two Challenge Cup games taking place in England involving French sides, will go ahead. It is also believed that the Pool 4 game between Munster and Benetton Treviso will be played as normal this evening at 5.15pm in Thomond Park.
