The Cheetahs have been eliminated from the EPCR Challenge Cup after their match against Ulster was recorded as a 28 0 forfeit when the pitch was ruled unplayable.
The fixture in the Netherlands was called off shortly before kick-off following a referee inspection of the frozen surface. It was later confirmed Ulster were awarded five points, ending the Cheetahs campaign. The Cheetahs had been designated as the home team for the game, which was why they were penalised.
