The details of the Leinster and Ulster's upcoming Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals have been confirmed, though it's not clear if supporters will be allowed to attend.

Leinster will welcome reigning champions Saracens to the Aviva Stadium for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday the 19th of September in a repeat of last year's decider.

The Stade Marcel-Michelin will host the all French clash of Clermont Auvergne and Racing 92 on the same day at 5.30pm Irish time.

Clermont have only lost once in five top flight quarter-final matches, however, that defeat was at the hands of the Parisians in 2018.

Ulster's trip to Toulouse, who were unbeaten in the pool stages, will have a 12.30pm Irish time kick-off at Le Stadium on Sunday the 20th of September in a game you can listen to live on Off The Ball.

Premiership duo Exeter Chiefs and Northampton Saints will meet in the last of the quarter-finals on that day, with a 5.30pm kick-off at Sandy Park.

Competition organisers, the EPCR, says "all matches will be subject to government guidelines" and their priority remains the "health and welfare of players, club staff, match officials, media, supporters and the wider rugby community".
