On Friday, May 6th, the EPCR Challenge Cup quarter-finals kick off at Kingsholm with the Gloucester Rugby v Saracens match, which will be refereed by Frank Murphy of Ireland, and on Saturday, May 7th, the matches pitting Edinburgh Rugby against Wasps and Lyon against Glasgow Warriors will be refereed by Pierre Brousset of France and Matthew Carley of England, respectively.

Scotland’s Mike Adamson has been appointed for the Anglo-French confrontation between two-time EPCR Challenge Cup finalists, RC Toulon, and London Irish at Stade Félix Mayol on Sunday, 8 May.
