Premiership Rugby can today confirm the matches in Rounds 18, 20, 21 and 22 of Gallagher Premiership Rugby. The matches in Round 19 are subject to clubs’ participation in the European Challenge Cup Final so will be announced at a later date.
As a mark of respect for HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, Premiership Rugby can confirm that all Gallagher Premiership Rugby matches scheduled on Saturday 17 April, in Round 16, have been moved to avoid a clash with his funeral service. The new schedule will be announced at Noon today (Monday 12 April).
