Leinster and Connacht's upcoming home games against South African opposition, originally fixed for early January, have been moved to the final weekend of February as the URC re-jig their schedule in light of coronavirus developments.

The South African quartet of the Bulls, Stormers, Lions and Sharks were to play games in Ireland and Italy on the weekend of 7/8 January. Leinster were to host Lions on Friday 7 January, with the Stormers playing in the Sportsground on Saturday.

However, this round of games has been moved to the weekend 25/26 February.

Meanwhile, Munster's postponed games from the ill-fated South African trip have been given a new date and will take place on the weekends of 11/12 March and 18/19 March.
