Champions Cup round of 16 dates and venues confirmed
By Josh Raisey
Harlequins will get the Investec Champions Cup round of 16 fixtures underway on Friday April 5 when they host Glasgow Warriors at the Stoop.
The EPCR have confirmed the dates, venues and times of the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup fixtures in April, with Quins and Gloucester getting proceedings underway in either competition.
Fans are set to be treated to a veritable rugby feast, particularly on Saturday April 6 which has five Champions Cup games alone. Crucially, no Champions Cup matches are clashing with each other.
The all French affair between Toulouse and Racing 92 will bring down the curtain on the weekend's action in the Champions Cup, while Pau's clash with Connacht will end the Challenge Cup fixtures.

England haven’t won any major trophies since 2020. That isn’t solely down to Earl.
Ok so you were just making a non-sequiteur. How helpful!
Earl lost against Australia recently. So did Itoje, Genge, Stuart, Tom Curry, Freeman, Lawrence, and Feyi-Waboso. Presumably you think none of them will start for the Lions?
Go to commentsApology accepted.
It was true actually. Arteta hasn’t won much, nor slot. Pep has of course, and is a few years older. BUT - here’s the clincher: compare his trophy haul when he was THE SAME AGE AS your other examples! Boom. A vast difference exists in the ‘concrete’ examples you gave.
“*Football” Yeah, tell me your English without telling me. I’m Irish and our national sport is a very different code of football, alas the name is already taken. It will always be soccer to me.
The fact you have literally typed that you don’t know much about soccer then attempted to lecture others on it is almost impressive. Post-irony.
