Dates for your diary: Heineken Cup quarter-final times confirmed

Munster and Ulster’s trips to England will be almost 24 hours apart.

THE ERC HAVE today confirmed the dates and kick-off times for the knock-out stages of the Heineken Cup.

Both Ulster and Munster made it through to the last eight, but both face tough away trips to face Premiership clubs.

Ulster will be the first of the provinces in action as they hope to back up their first away victory in France with a second consecutive away quarter-final triumph.

Mark Anscombe’s side will face Saracens at 6.30 pm on Saturday April 6. The venue is yet to be officially confirmed, but it is expected to be their new ground Allianz Park which will get another test outing this Sunday with the visit of Cardiff Blues.

Munster will take the field a day later on Sunday April 7, their trip to Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop will be the early kick off at 2pm.

The remaining two quarter finals will take place in France with Clermont hosting Montpellier at 4.40 pm on Saturday April 6 and Leicester Tigers travelling to Toulon (who are also yet to confirm a venue) on April 7 for a 5.30 kick off.

All times are local.
