EPCR 'disappointed' that Saracens aren't sending representatives to season launch

On Tuesday, Premiership Rugby opted to dock Saracens 35 Premiership points and fined them £5.36million for breaching salary cap regulations.

The Premiership and European champions were ruled to have exceeded the ceiling for payments to players in each of the last three seasons.

Since the announcement, Saracens have opted to appeal against what they described as "heavy-handed sanctions", insisting they are not guilty of any wrongdoing.

Today, EPCR have released a statement in responding to Saracens and their alleged breach of the Premiership salary cap and their decision not to send any representatives to the Champions Cup season launch today.

The short statement from EPCR reads:


“EPCR is disappointed to learn of Saracens’ decision to make their club representatives unavailable for today’s official 2019/20 Season Launch of the Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup in Cardiff.

“EPCR will now consider what action is appropriate in this instance and will be making no further comment at this time.”
