The Six Nations may be getting underway in a few short hours, but the European Champiosn Cup is also on the agenda today, as the EPCR have announced the dates and times for April’s Champions and Challenge Cup quarter finals.
Leinster will be Ireland’s only representative in the last eight, and they take on Bath in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday April 4.
The sides kick-off at 3:15pm in Dublin in the first of the four quarter finals, live on BT Sport
Should Leinster get the better of Bath, they’ll have to wait 24 hours to learn their semi-final opponents, with Toulon hosting Wasps the following afternoon, also a 3:15 kick off.
Northampton Saints and Clermont get the fans’ favourite kick-off time of 5:15 on Saturday evening, while the remaining tie of the weekend sees Racing Metro and Saracens get the early Sunday treatment, kicking off at 12:45 in Paris.
Connacht will also be in Challenge Cup quarter final action that weekend, they take on Gloucester at Kingsholm on Friday April 3, with a 7.45 kick off.
