Ulster to face Leinster in Champions Cup Round of 16

Following the completion of the pool stages of the Heineken Champions Cup, it has been confirmed that Ulster Rugby will face an away trip to play Leinster Rugby in the Round of 16.

Saturday night's superb victory over Sale Sharks sealed Ulster's place in the play-off stages (as eighth placed team in Pool B), and they will now face familiar foes Leinster (first placed team in Pool A) in the last 16.

The match is due to be played on the weekend of 31 March - 2 April, with the exact date and kick-off time to be confirmed by tournament organisers, EPCR, in due course. At that point, Ulster Rugby will provide an update on all ticketing arrangements, including priority booking windows for Season Ticket holders.
