Leinster will host Saracens in Champions Cup quarter-finals in repeat of last year's final

Leinster and Ulster now know what they must do to reach the Heineken Champions Cup final.

Top seeds Leinster will take on eighth and final seeds Saracens in a repeat of last year's final in a mouth-watering quarter-final encounter at the Aviva Stadium in the first weekend of April.

If Leo Cullen's side progress against crisis-hit Sarries, who edged out Racing 92 in a thriller at Allianz Park, they will play the winner of the all-French Clermont v Racing last eight tie in the semi-finals - again, at the Aviva Stadium - in the first weekend of May.

Ulster are away to Toulouse in the quarter-finals and, if they claim a famous victory, Dan McFarland's charges will play the winner of the all-Premiership encounter between Exeter and Northampton.

If Ulster and Northampton prevail, then Ulster will have home advantage in the last four.

Champions Cup quarter-finals (3/4/5 April)

Leinster v Saracens, Aviva Stadium

Exeter Chiefs v Northampton Saints, Sandy Park

Toulouse v Ulster, Stade Ernest-Wallon

Clermont Auvergne v Racing 92, Stade Marcel-Michelin
