Munster defeated Racing 92 last Saturday to clinch a home quarter-final

Earlier that day Munster's provincial rivals Leinster collide with Wasps at the Aviva Stadium (kick-off 3.15pm). The sides met in last season's pool stages, with Wasps winning both games convincingly, but Leinster have looked a different force in Europe this campaign.

The fourth Champions Cup quarter-final is an all-French affair, with Clermont Auvergne hosting three-time winners Toulon on Sunday at 3.15pm in a repeat of the 2013 and 2015 finals.
