"EPCR can confirm that it is actively formulating a strategy on how best to organise and market a match in the future between the winners of the European Rugby Champions Cup and the winners of the Super Rugby competition," EPCR said in a statement.

The main issue surrounding the proposed game is where to place it in the congested international calendar so that both teams involved would be at full-strength.

EPCR is in discussions with SANZAR, which organises the southern hemisphere's Super Rugby competition, with a view to drawing up a joint proposal regarding the match.
