Northampton have found the going tough in European competition this season

Sunday's Champions Cup game between Racing 92 and Northampton Saints has been called off because of a number of positive Covid-19 tests in the Saints camp.

The French side have been awarded a 28-0 win in accordance with European competition rules.

Hosts Racing were already in the last 16 with three wins from three matches.

One of those was a fixture forfeited after a Covid outbreak in the Ospreys camp.

Northampton, who have only two points in this season's competition, needed a win in France to have any chance of advancing.
