This season's Challenge and Champions Cup will be held in Edinburgh's Murrayfield but the powers that be are starting to look further afield.
EPCR's main man Vincent Gaillard told reporters, at Wednesday's tournament launch in Dublin, that the body has received notices of interests away from what one might call 'rugby strongholds'. He commented:
"Italy is a place to start. Spain would be another one and there’s a couple more as well that could be of interest but it would be fair to say we’ll focus on those two first."Stadio Olimpico and the San Siro, which hosted New Zealand vs. Italy in 2009, are two viable options. The Aviva Stadium last hosted a European Cup final in 2013 when Toulon defeated fellow French outfit Clermont. Twickenham's last time out was the 2012 final held between Leinster and Ulster.
