Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals
15 February 2011 17:04pm
By Angelina Lacroix
The sense of anticipation surrounding this season's Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals has been reflected by Sky Sports' decision to broadcast all four matches live on 7 / 8 / 9 April.
It will be the first time that Sky Sports has provided live coverage of the four quarter-final games in conjunction with fellow broadcast partners France Televisions and Eurosport France.
"This welcome move by Sky Sports confirms the ever-growing stature and appeal of the Amlin Challenge Cup," said ERC Chief Executive, Derek McGrath. "With three former Heineken Cup winners in London Wasps, Brive and Munster, in the last eight, the quarter-finals promise to provide matches high in both intensity and quality."
The Amlin Challenge Cup knockout stages kick off on Thursday, 7 April with the all-French meeting of La Rochelle and Clermont Auvergne, and the quarter-finals conclude when Brive take on Munster on Saturday, 9 April.
The Amlin Challenge Cup final will be played at Cardiff City Stadium on Friday, 20 May (kick-off:19.45), on the eve of the Heineken Cup final at the Millennium Stadium.
