Leinster host Leicester while Munster travel to Northampton in Champions Cup last 16

In the Challenge Cup, Connacht were paired with Top 14 side Pau and Ulster drawn against Montpellier.

LEINSTER AND MUNSTER both face rematches from their final pool games after the draw for the last 16 of the Champions Cup was made this evening.

Leo Cullen’s side’s reward for a 100% record to date is a home clash with Leicester Tigers while Graham Rowntree’s charges travel to face Northampton Saints after they scraped into the knockouts by the skin of their teeth.

Leinster cruised to a 27-10 win over Leicester on Saturday with Munster securing a losing bonus-point against 14-man Northampton in their 26-23 defeat.

There is also the prospect of a Leinster-La Rochelle quarter-final clash should they progress and Ronan O’Gara’s men also get past DHL Stormers.

Munster or Nortampton will face either the Vodacom Bulls or Lyon in the last eight.

In the Challenge Cup, the Irish provinces both face trips to France after Connacht were paired with Top 14 side Pau and Ulster drawn against Montpellier.

    For all the doom and gloom talked about Tottenham this season (no signings, stadium delays, Poch to United, out of both domestic cups), they continue to jog just behind the top 2, while keeping the top 4 dogfight just out of sight in the rearview mirror. One loss and they’ll be branded bottle jobs again, but with Wembley form picking up, and a tasty tie against Dortmund coming up, I can’t help but be happy.

    I can’t suffer Michael Oliver either.

    He was the last one picked in school who:
    1) you stuck in nets cos he’s brutal at football
    2) you then told him to keep time cos he was crap in goal
    3) eventually made him referee cos he was brutal at everything else, then became a brutal ref

    Leicester should have been out of sight but Spurs more clinical with the chances they had
