Premiership Rugby has confirmed a two-week, mid-season break after European competitions were temporarily suspended by EPCR.

Premiership Rugby chief executive Darren Childs said: "The welfare of everyone involved in Premiership Rugby is crucial to us and this break in the season gives us the chance to hand some much-needed rest to our hard-working players, management, staff and match officials.”

The Premiership Rugby season is set to resume when Bristol Bears host Bath Rugby on Friday January 29.
