ERC today (Thursday) said they expected the details of the Heineken Cup quarter-finals to be announced this weekend or early next week.

Leicester Tigers will travel to Clermont Auvergne in the last eight after qualifying as one of the best runners-up from the pool stages, which concluded with the quarter-final draw on Sunday afternoon.

The quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup and the Amlin Challenge Cup will be played on the weekend of 3, 4, 5, 6 April and ERC, the tournament organisers, said they are in the process of finalising fixture details.

“The dates and kick-off times will now be announced over the weekend or early next week,” a statement on the ERC website said.

“The scheduling process for the eight fixtures involves consultation with the 16 clubs, three leagues and broadcast partners across each territory.

“The objective is to take into account each club's preferences, venue restrictions at shared stadia, as well as ensuring that international broadcasters are able to cover all eight games from Thursday evening through to Sunday in order to maximise the promotion of the tournaments and the clubs involved and allowing fans who cannot access games to view the action.”
