After consultation with their broadcast partners (BBC Wales, S4C and Setanta), Celtic Rugby has confirmed the dates and kick-off times for rounds 15 and 16 of the Magners League in April.
Speaking of the scheduling, Director of Celtic Rugby David Jordan said: “As we draw towards the culmination of the league stage of the 2009/10 tournament, the introduction of the play-offs means that there will be more meaningful games than ever before.
“Each team will want to field their strongest possible side to challenge for a place in the top four.
