Domandina: sapete che questo we si giocano i quarti di finale delle Coppe 
Europee?

Ieri è uscito il campione in carica del Munster, battuto dagli Scarlets di 
Llanelli 24 a 15.

Intanto ecco un'info interessante sulle semifinali

HEINEKEN CUP SEMI-FINALS
STADE DE FRANCE COULD BE NEXT FOR HEINEKEN CUP KNOCK-OUT ACTION

Stade de France - the home of French rugby - could become the 81st venue to 
host Heineken Cup action if Stade Français Paris beat Leicester Tigers in 
Sunday's Heineken Cup quarter-final at Welford Road.

The Board of ERC, the tournament organisers, have confirmed the potential 
venues for the semi-finals, to be played on the weekend of 21 / 22 April, en 
route to the 12th Heineken Cup final being staged at Twickenham Stadium, 
London on Sunday, 20 May.

Following the Heineken Cup 2006 / 2007 semi-final draw made in Twickenham in 
January, the winners of the Biarritz Olympique v Northampton Saints and 
Leicester Tigers v Stade Français Paris quarter-finals will have "home 
country" advantage in this season's semi-finals.

A Leicester Tigers semi-final against the winners of Munster and Scarlets 
will be played at the Walkers Stadium, in Leicester. The 32,000 capacity 
home of Leicester City FC hosted its first Heineken Cup semi-final in 2005 
when Tigers were defeated by Toulouse.

A Stade Français Paris semi-final would see either reigning champions 
Munster or Llanelli Scarlets, who clash in the first quarter-final tomorrow 
(Friday) night, travel to the 80,000 capacity international stadium in Saint 
Denis, Paris.

If Biarritz Olympique qualify for the semi-finals by beating Northampton 
Saints at Estadio Anoeta in San Sebastian on Sunday then they would return 
to the Spanish stadium, which hosted a semi-final last season, for their 
match against the winners of the London Wasps and Leinster quarter-final.

A quarter-final win by Northampton Saints over the French champions Biarritz 
Olympique would mean a semi-final at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, against 
either London Wasps or Leinster.

The 32,000 capacity home of Coventry City FC would also become a new 
Heineken Cup venue.

The venues, dates, kick-off times and television coverage of the semi-finals 
will be confirmed after the quarter-finals.
