(Reuters) - This year's Champions Cup quarter-finals have been rescheduled for the weekend of Sept. 19-20 after the knockout stages were initially postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) said on Thursday.

Reigning champions Saracens will meet Leinster at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Sept. 19, followed by ASM Clermont Auvergne's clash against Racing 92 at Stade Marcel-Michelin.
