Tournaments/Tours: Heineken Cup

Perpignan will play their Heineken Cup quarter-final against Toulon at the 55,000 capacity Olympic Stadium in Barcelona.

The Catalan club, who earlier this year angled for a marquee tie at FC Barcelona's iconic Nou Camp stadium, will take on their Top 14 rivals on April 9 before Biarritz's tie with reigning champions Toulouse is staged at San Sebastian's Estadio Anoeta to round off the following day's action.

Sandwiched between the two Spanish ties will be Leinster's Saturday evening clash with Leicester at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, a rematch of the 2009 final. The Irish province have already staged two games at the revamped Lansdowne Road this season, beating Munster and Clermont Auvergne.

Northampton will kick off Sunday's action with their home clash against Magners League side Ulster, which has been switched from their Franklin's Gardens home to the nearby stadium:mk in Milton Keynes.

Meanwhile, Munster will draw a line under the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals with their clash against Brive at the Stade Amedee-Domenech on April 9. The last eight action will get underway on Thursday night, when La Rochelle face Clermont Auvergne, while Harlequins face Wasps and Stade Francais take on Montpellier in Friday night clashes.
