EPCR announce Champions Cup quarter finals referees
By Ian Cameron
The EPCR have announced the officials that will take charge of the Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup quarter-finals in May.
On Saturday, 7 May, England's Luke Pearce will referee the match between Munster and current Heineken Champions Cup holders, Stade Toulousain, at the Aviva Stadium.
In arguably the most mouthwatering clash of the weekend, France's Mathieu Raynal will referee the match between Leicester Tigers and Leinster Rugby at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.
On Saturday, 7 May, England's Karl Dickson will call the match between last season's finalists, Stade Rochelais, and Montpellier Hérault Rugby at Stade Marcel-Deflandre, and Ireland's Andrew Brace will call the last-eight match between Racing 92 and Sale Sharks at Paris La Défense Arena the following day.
On Friday, May 6th, the EPCR Challenge Cup quarter-finals kick off at Kingsholm with the Gloucester Rugby v Saracens match, which will be refereed by Frank Murphy of Ireland, and on Saturday, May 7th, the matches pitting Edinburgh Rugby against Wasps and Lyon against Glasgow Warriors will be refereed by Pierre Brousset of France and Matthew Carley of England, respectively.
Scotland’s Mike Adamson has been appointed for the Anglo-French confrontation between two-time EPCR Challenge Cup finalists, RC Toulon, and London Irish at Stade Félix Mayol on Sunday, 8 May.

I think we need to get innovative with the new laws.
Now red cards are only 20 minutes, Razor should send Finau on a head hunting mission to hospitalise their 10 with a shoulder to the chops.
Give the conspiracy theorists a win.
Go to commentsEngland played well enough to win but couldnt score when they needed to and couldnt defend a couple of X-Factor moments from Telea which was ultimately the difference. They needed to hold the ball more and make the AB's make more tackles. Territorially they were good for the first 60. Defending their lead and playing pragmatic rugby in the last 20 was silly. The AB's always had the potential to come back. England still have a long way to go, definite progress would have been shown had they won but it seems they are still stuck where they were shortly after the six nations and their tour to NZ
