Cardiff Blues have announced that their Heineken Cup quarter-final against Toulouse will be played at the Millennium Stadium. Having secured top-seeding in the quarter-finals thanks to an unbeaten run in the group stages, Dai Young's side will now face off against three-time winners Toulouse on April 11 at Wales' national stadium. The Blues have already tasted success at the venue this season, defeating Gloucester 37-24 in their second pool match of the tournament in front of 27,000 fans. "We are naturally delighted not only to have reached the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup for the second consecutive year, but to have finished the pool stages as number one seeds," said Blues chief executive Robert Norster. "It is testament to all the hard work put in by Dai Young, his coaching team and our entire squad of players. Our supporters now can look forward to another superb occasion at the Millennium Stadium. "There was a fantastic atmosphere generated when we played Gloucester there earlier in the campaign and I sincerely hope we will have another big crowd." © Scrum.com
