Euro Cup play-off dates & times confirmed

By
Friday 29 Jan 2016

With five English team advancing to the last eight, it is no surprise that three of the four quarterfinal matches will take place in England.

The quarterfinals kick-off on Saturday, April 9 with Wasps, the last Premiership club to win the coveted title in 2007, taking on the Exeter Chiefs at the Ricoh Arena.

That clash of the two-time champions against the first-timers in the knockout stage will be followed by the meeting of No.1 seeds Saracens, who have reached the last eight for the fifth season in a row, and Northampton Saints at Allianz Park.

On Sunday, April 10, Leicester Tigers host Stade Francais Paris at Welford Road in what promises to be another classic Anglo-French contest. Tigers have booked their ticket to the quarterfinals for the 13th time – two behind the record held jointly by Toulouse and Munster – while Stade are appearing in the last eight for the first time since 2010.

The road to Lyon will be clearer when Racing 92 and reigning champions, Toulon, meet at Stade Yves-du-Manoir in an all-French confrontation which could see recent World Cup winners, Dan Carter and Ma'a Nonu going head-to-head.

A major weekend of knockout rugby will commence with the first of the Challenge Cup quarterfinals between Sale Sharks and Montpellier at the AJ Bell Stadium on Friday, April 8, with holders Gloucester, who are on a record run of 15 victories in the tournament, up against the Newport Gwent Dragons at Kingsholm the following day.
