Saracens beat Munster at the Ricoh Arena last Saturday to set up a showpiece against Leinster at Newcastle's St James' Park on May 11.

The Saracens second string were due to host the Wanderers in the Shield final four at Allianz Park on Monday, May 6, but the game has been switched to Monday, April 29 with a kick-off time of 7.45pm.
