There is also GAA, rugby and MMA action on Saturday. In the Heineken Champions Cup, two Irish provinces are in action in two massive games at the quarter-final stage of the tournament.
First up, Munster play Toulouse at the Aviva Stadium (kick-off at 3 pm). Munster have won more Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals than any other team in the tournament's history (14). They have also beaten Toulouse twice at this stage of the competition and have won four of their previous seven games against the Top 14 side.
Yet, while history is on Munster's side, Toulouse have Antoine Dupont, the reigning world player of the year in their team.
Leinster then face Leicester Tigers at 5:30 pm in a match that is too close to call. The Irish province have beaten Leicester in six of their last 11 Heineken Champions Cup games, but have lost three of their last four matches away to the English side.
Leinster and Leicester have played each other four times in the knockout stages of the Heineken Champions Cup, with two wins apiece. The performance of James Lowe, the tournament's top try-scorer with eight tries so far, could be crucial for Leinster on Saturday.
