    Challenge Cup: Cheetahs v Ulster to be played behind closed doors at new venue because of weather

    Sunday’s Challenge Cup fixture between Cheetahs and Ulster has been moved to Dukes Rugby Club in s-Hertogenbosch and will now be played at 13:00 GMT.

    The sides were due to meet in Amsterdam with kick-off at 15:15, but with sub-zero temperatures expected in the capital, the game has been relocated to the south of the Netherlands following inspections earlier on Friday.

    Governing body European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) has also confirmed that the match will also now be played behind closed doors.

    “EPCR, Rugby Nederland and Toyota Cheetahs are continuing to monitor weather conditions, should these further impact the fixture,” read a statement from Ulster.

    “Ulster Rugby is seeking further clarification from tournament organisers regarding the implications of this decision and next steps, particularly for supporters who have already made travel arrangements.”

    Ulster return to European action after victories against Connacht and Munster in the United Rugby Championship.

    The northern province hammered Racing 92 in their opening Challenge Cup game before losing to Cardiff.

    The Cheetahs have struggled with their form this season and will aim to end their five-game losing streak against Richie Murphy’s outfit.
