Snow rugby - Saracens and Clermont match called off
By Ian Cameron
Saracens have just confirmed that their round three European Rugby Champions Cup fixture versus ASM Clermont Auvergne has been postponed due to the adverse weather conditions surrounding Allianz Park.
The Club is currently liaising directly with EPCR regarding further details and fans are advised not to travel to Allianz Park.
RugbyPass understands the cancellation is due to adverse weather conditions surrounding the stadium and local transport routes and not the pitch itself.
Allianz Park has been the home of Saracens Rugby Club since 2013. The state of the art stadium, which includes an artificial pitch surface, is in fact the only stadium in the country designed and built to BREEAM Excellent standards.
However, the Harlequins Ulster match, also being staged in London, has not been called off.

Excellent analysis Nick as we have come to expect. I was not really aware that NFL strategies have been adopted by rugby teams, especially in defence. One point I would make is that the Northhampton attacking player on the end of the chain in the video examples has not maintained the correct depth to be effective. In the footage shown the outside player is too flat to make the best of the opportunity his inside players have provided. In each case they have to reduce speed and turn their body backwards to secure the ball, losing all momentum and giving the impressive scrambling defence the chance to shut down the threat.
