Munster scrum-half Conor Murray was far from impressed with some of Glasgow’s tactics in their Champions Cup clash last weekend.

The Fixture List

  • The group stages of the Champions Cup conclude this weekend and the two remaining Pool 4 fixtures will be played tomorrow night. Leinster can secure a home quarter-final with a victory at Castres Olympique, while Montpellier host Northampton knowing a bonus-point win could see them progress to the last eight. Both games kick off at 19.45.
  • In the English Championship, Chris Hughton’s Brighton can go back to the top of the table if they beat Sheffield Wednesday at the Amex Stadium (19.45).
  • The Africa Cup of Nations continues with Ivory Coast v Congo DR (16.00) and Morocco v Togo (19.00)
  • The Australian Open resumes in Melbourne with Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka and Angelique Kerber among the players hoping to advance to the fourth round.
