HOLDERS MUNSTER WILL host Ospreys in the United Rugby Championship quarter-finals next Friday night, while Leinster will welcome Ulster to the Aviva Stadium for a knockout derby on Saturday evening.
Munster topped the regular season table and secured top seeding as they battled past Ulster for a 29-24 win at Thomond Park.
And at the Cardiff City Stadium, Ospreys’ dramatic 33-29 win against Cardiff saw them leapfrog the Lions to earn the eighth and final play-off place.
