Saints set for Munster rematch in Champions Cup last 16

Phil Dowson's men claimed a memorable 26-23 win at Thomond Park on Saturday evening, prevailing despite having Curtis Langdon sent off just before the break.

That victory, Saints' fourth from as many matches in Pool 3, ensured the black, green and gold would finish top of the standings.

And that has handed them a home match against Munster in the last 16, with the game set to take place on the weekend of April 5/6/7.

Should Saints prevail in that encounter, they would then host the winner of the tie between Vodacom Bulls and Lyon.

There is a possibility that Dowson's side could have home country advantage if they made it to the semi-final, but they would need Leinster to have been knocked out by then as they are one of the two top seeds left in the competition.

The final will be held in England, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, on Saturday, May 25.

The exact dates and kick-off times of the round of 16 fixtures will be announced as soon possible.
