European Challenge Cup semi-finals details

European Challenge Cup semi-final action resumes in France when Bourgoin take on Worcester Warriors at Stade Pierre Rajon on Saturday, 2 May (1.30 pm local time).
Bourgoin are chasing a tournament double - they were the first European Challenge Cup winners back in 1997 - and are flying the flag for French rugby once again.
They qualified for the last four by beating top quarter-final qualifiers London Irish at the Madejski Stadium last weekend and now ensure a return of action to French soil which has seen just one semi-final match played there in the last three seasons.
That was when ASM Clermont Auvergne beat Newport Gwent Dragons in the 2006/07 tournament while there have been only three of the last 14 semi-finals played in France after their early domination of the tournament.
The weekend of top class European club rugby will kick-off on the Friday night with the all-England semi-final between Northampton Saints and Saracens at Franklin's Gardens (7.45 pm local time). Both matches will be televised live in the UK and France.
