Times and dates confirmed for Leinster and Ulster Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals

The times and dates have been confirmed for the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals.

Leinster will face champions Saracens at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, September 19, with a kick-off time of 3pm, in a repeat of last year's final.

That game will be followed by ASM Clermont Auvergne's clash against Racing 92 at the Stade Marcel-Michelin.

Meanwhile, Ulster will take on Toulouse in France a day later, with kick-off scheduled for 12.30pm Irish time, before the meeting of Exeter Chiefs and Northampton Saints at Sandy Park.

The Challenge Cup, a second-tier competition for European clubs, will be play its quarter-finals from Sept. 18-20.

"All matches will be subject to government guidelines and/or restrictions with EPCR prioritising the health and welfare of players, club staff, match officials, media, supporters and the wider rugby community," EPCR said in a statement.

Last week, EPCR confirmed the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup finals will not take place in Marseille after the local organising committee deemed the safeguards in place to host matches insufficient.

EPCR said it was looking at alternate venues to ensure this year's finals go ahead on the weekend of Oct. 16-18.
