However, a number of positive Covid-19 tests among the Welsh club’s playing staff has led to today’s decision by the EPCR.
As a result, Racing have been awarded a 28-0 bonus-point win, in accordance with the competition’s rules.
“EPCR would like to emphasise that awarding the match to Racing 92 is a tournament management measure with the objective of ensuring that all fixtures in the 2021/22 Heineken Champions Cup are accounted for, and not a sanction,” a statement reads.
