Rugby:All four Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals, including Munster's away date with French side Brive, will be shown live on Sky Sports for the first time.
“This welcome move by Sky Sports and confirms the ever-growing stature and appeal of the Amlin Challenge Cup,” said Derek McGrath, ERC chief executive.
“With three former Heineken Cup winners in London Wasps, Brive and Munster, in the last eight, the quarter-finals promise to provide matches high in both intensity and quality.”
The knockout stages kick off on Thursday, April 7th with the all-French meeting of La Rochelle and Clermont Auvergne, and the quarter-finals conclude when Brive take on Munster on Saturday, April 9th.
The final will be played at Cardiff City Stadium on Friday, May 20th (kick-off: 7.45pm), on the eve of the Heineken Cup final at the Millennium Stadium.
