In recognition of the recent tragic passing of the 19-year-old Stade Francais Paris Academy player, Nicolas Chauvin, tournament organisers EPCR  requested that a minute’s silence be observed before the kick-offs of this weekend’s Heineken Champions Cup, Challenge Cup and Continental Shield fixtures, including the Leicester Tigers game against Racing 92 at Welford Road.

EPCR wishes to extend its sincerest condolences to Nicolas Chauvin’s family and friends, and to all the Stade Francais Paris players and staff.
