LV= Cup/PRO12 clash resolved

RRW, the WRU, Premiership Rugby , RFU and LV= Organising Committee have reached agreement regarding the arrangement of Round 1 fixtures for the Regions, which clash with the Guinness Pro 12 Round 7.

 

The amends to the LV= Cup are as follows:

 

Gloucester Rugby, Ospreys, Newport Gwent Dragons and Exeter Chiefs' Round 1 fixtures will swap with their respective Round 3 fixtures. Please see amended listings below.

 

This will enable Ospreys v Newport Gwent Dragons and Cardiff Blues v Scarlets, both Round 1 matches, to move to 14/15/16 November weekend whilst they honour their Guinness Pro 12 games on the 31 October/1/2 November weekend

 

The Ospreys v Newport Gwent Dragons fixture will be played on Friday 14th November, kicking off at 7.35pm. Meanwhile, the Round 2 home game against Saracens has also been confirmed and will be played on Friday 7th November, also getting underway at 7.35pm.

 

Confirmation of the venue for these two home games will be confirmed as soon as possible

 

The LV= Organising Committee would like to thanks all parties for their co-operation in this matter, particular to those Premiership clubs which have agreed to rearrange their respective fixtures.
