European tournament bosses will apologise to Wales' Capital Region and Glasgow Warriors.

European Professional Club Rugby will apologise to Cardiff Blues and Glasgow Warriors over a kit clash in Sunday's Heineken Champions Cup game.

Both sides lined up in blue kits at the Arms Park - Glasgow's was slighlty lighter, and Blues' Wales international back Gareth Anscombe labelled the clash "a disgrace", saying EPCR should be held accountable for the confusion.

And in a statement issued on Monday, tournament organisers EPCR said: "EPCR has procedures in place for ensuring that playing kits for matches in its tournaments are distinctive.

"However, these procedures were not sufficiently followed through for last weekend's Heineken Champions Cup, Round 2 match at Cardiff Arms Park.

"EPCR will be formally contacting both Cardiff Blues and Glasgow Warriors in due course to apologise."

Glasgow won the Pool Three encounter 29-12.
