The Celtic Cup 2003 semi-finals - straight Irish-Scottish contests - will be televised live on the weekend of 14th/15th November. TG4 will carry both matches with BBC Northern Ireland showing Ulster's away bid in Glasgow.
"These four teams are now just a win away from appearing in the prestigious inaugural Celtic Cup final, in either Edinburgh or Dublin, on the 20th of December," said Keith Grainger, Tournament Director Celtic Rugby.
"With the introduction of the Celtic Cup this year we have commissioned the design of a new look Celtic trophy to be played for in the League competition and the "old", very old in fact, trophy will be held high by the winners of the Celtic Cup - be it Ulster, Connacht, Glasgow Rugby or Edinburgh Rugby."
