Bring. It. On.

Here are the quarter-final pairings for the Champions Cup. The home teams are named first. All of these games will take place on the one weekend, what a weekend of rugby it’s going to be.

  • Leinster V Saracens
  • Munster V Toulon
  • Scarlets V La Rochelle
  • Clermont V Racing 92

Leinster progressed to the Champions Cup quarter finals as top seeds. Their reward is a home quarter-final against last year’s champions Saracens.

Munster are currently leading Castres 41-3 in Thomond Park in their final pool game and have the bonus point confirmed. That means they will host Toulon in Limerick.

Meanwhile, Scarlets will take on La Rochelle. The last tie is an all French clash between Clermont Auvergne and Racing 92.

Ulster, who lost to Wasps away today didn’t progress.

The games will take place on the 29/30/31 March and April 1 2018.
