History will be made in early April when the eagerly-anticipated Heineken Champions Cup Round of 16 fixtures will be played over two legs for the first time as an elite group of clubs and their supporters compete to stay on the road to the Marseille finals.
With aggregate scores over the two contests deciding the Round of 16 winners, dramatic outcomes in packed stadiums are certain to be the order of the day as the four highest-ranked clubs in each pool are scheduled to play their second leg matches at home.
Holders, Stade Toulousain, are moving their first leg fixture against URC front runners, Ulster Rugby, to the 33,000-capacity Le Stadium on Saturday 9 April with the action live on BT Sport, while the second leg goes ahead at the Kingspan Stadium on Saturday 16 April.
In the event of drawn matches or equal aggregate scores at the end of normal time during the knockout stage of the Heineken Champions Cup, extra-time will be played with the exception of the first legs of the Round of 16 matches.
Ticket Details
Tickets for the second leg at Kingspan Stadium will be made available on a phased basis, with Season Ticket holders at the front of the queue.
