The teams know each other very well, having also clashed at the quarter-final stage in the previous two seasons. Last April Leicester succumbed to a quarter-final defeat at the Aviva Stadium, as Leinster tallied up seven tries, and out-half Ross Byrne finished with a handsome point haul from eight successful kicks out of eight. Munster have a long European history with Northampton, stretching back to their heart-breaking final loss at Twickenham. If Munster prevail in early April, they would set up a quarter-final trip to either the Vodacom Bulls or Lyon.
The highest-ranked teams from the pool stages have home advantage in the round of 16 and the quarter-finals, and home country advantage in the semi-finals which will be played in Europe.
