After a dramatic ending to the most competitive regular season of the BKT United Rugby Championship, the line-up for next weekend's quarter-finals has been confirmed.
Defending champions Munster have earned the top ranking for the play-offs, meaning that they will host the 2024 United Rugby Championship final, on Saturday, June 22, should they qualify.
RANKINGS BASED ON FINAL LEAGUE STANDINGS:
Munster will face the Ospreys in quarter-final 1 at Thomond Park next Friday (kick-off 7.35pm), with tickets available to buy here. The second-placed Vodacom Bulls will host Benetton at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Quarter-final 3 sees eight-time league winners, Leinster, take on Ulster in a mouth-watering interprovincial derby at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday (kick-off 5pm). Tickets are available to buy here.
The final game of the slate sees Glasgow Warriors and the DHL Stormers - the 2015 and 2022 champions respectively - meet at Scotstoun Stadium.
