Saracens' re-arranged match against Clermont-Auvergne on Monday is open to the public, having been postponed due to "adverse weather" conditions surrounding Allianz Park.

Initially scheduled for Sunday, European Professional Club Rugby announced the game would be played behind closed doors after being re-arranged for a 5:30pm kick-off on Monday "due to health and safety concerns" as the bad weather continued.

But Saracens confirmed they will be welcoming any supporters that can make it to the fixture.

"We look forward to seeing as many of you here as possible," said chairman Nigel Wray.

"We will do what we can to not be beaten by the adverse conditions put in front of us, both on and off the pitch - it's the British Way, it's the Saracens Way.
