LEINSTER’S CHAMPIONS CUP quarter-final meeting with Leicester Tigers has been confirmed for Good Friday, with the game set for an 8pm kick-off at Aviva Stadium.
The province booked their place in the last eight with a convincing defeat of Ulster on Saturday, while Leicester beat Edinburgh at Welford Road on Friday.
And EPCR have now confirmed the details for all quarter-final fixtures following today’s final round of 16 games.
Leinster’s meeting with the Tigers will kick-off the weekend’s Champions Cup action on Friday night, and will be live on RTÉ and BT Sport.
Leinster season ticket holders can pre-order tickets for the fixture now, before general sale opens tomorrow. The Aviva Stadium is expected to be at a reduced capacity for the game, in the region of 27,000, although that could change in the event of exceptional demand.
