The day beforehand, Saturday, April 20th, two-time winners Saracens will meet two-time winners Munster in Coventry’s Ricoh Arena. Leinster and Munster are back again for the third season running and, as was the case two seasons ago, are joined by Saracens. This will be their first semi-final since 2011 when Leinster beat them in the Aviva Stadium 32-23. Munster lead Saracens in their head-to-head 4-3, but two seasons ago Saracens beat them 26-10 in the semi-finals at the Aviva en route to completing back-to-back titles. But this is a truly heavyweight line-up, and whoever emerges as champions on Saturday, May 11th, at St James’s Park in Newcastle, will have earned it.
