All European Rugby Champions Cup and Challenge Cup matches due to be played in France this weekend have been called off as a mark of respect. Ulster were due to play Oyonnax in the European Rugby Champions Cup today, but that has since been postponed. Other Rugby Union games have been cancelled including:
