The dates for the Champions Cup play-off between London Wasps and Stade Francais have been confirmed today.
With Wasps failing to reach the Amlin Cup final two weeks ago, the play-off for the last qualifying spot in next year’s Champions Cup will be played over two legs.
Wasps will host the Parisians on Sunday May 18 at Adams Park before traveling to the Stade Jean Bouin the following week on Saturday May 24, the same day as the Heineken Cup final.
Next season’s broadcast rights for the ERCC will be shared between Sky Sports and BT Sport and the agreement starts with this play-off. BT Sport will show the Adams Park match and Sky will journey to Paris for the second leg.
