Aviva Stadium or Stadium MK to host Saints if they reach European semis

EPCR, the organiser of the Investec Champions Cup, has now confirmed the four potential venues to host this season’s semi-finals.

And it means Saints will know where they will be playing if they can win at home to Castres Olympique on Saturday evening (kick-off 5.30pm).

Should Saints progress and Glasgow Warriors claim an unlikely victory away to Leinster on Friday night, the black, green and gold would take on Glasgow at Stadium MK.

But if Leinster and Saints make it through, Saints would have to face Leinster at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

The Champions Cup semi-finals will take place on the weekend of May 2/3/4, with the final scheduled for Saturday, May 24 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

The semi-final fixtures will be announced as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the quarter-finals.
