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.

He basically described who Aaron Smith also considers the GOAT 9….the one & only Fourie du Preez😎
Go to commentsI’m hoping that the Reds can win their last 4 games with a couple of try bonus points. The pessimist in me wouldn't be surprised if the Drua and the Tahs knock the Reds over. The Reds may end up ruing the fact they were distinctly 2nd best against the Force and just so clunky against Moana Pasifica. The Brumbies should win all their remaining games with some bonus points giving them at least a top 2 finish as the leading Kiwi sides will take points off each other. How the Brumbies handle the fact that they will be expected to beat the Crusaders will fascinate me. You’d probably have to go back to 2001 for the last time the Brumbies would go into a game against the Crusaders nearly odds on to win.
