Tigers to face Stade in last eight

Figure image
Following Sunday afternoon's conclusion of the group stages of the Heineken Cup, Tigers now know they will face Stade Francais in a home quarter-final on either March 30, 31 or April 1.

"First of all, I am just delighted that we are into the last eight after coming through a tough pool," said head coach Pat Howard. "After losing our first game, it was a fantastic effort from the squad to win five in a row and it was obviously a special night when we won in Limerick. It was a great win and we were very happy to enjoy the moment. It has also allowed us to go another step and now we face another tough tie, but we know we can compete against anyone."

The Tigers board will meet this week to discuss the quarter-final. One issue to discuss is that opponents Stade are entitled to 25 percent of the matchday tickets.
