Munster to host Ospreys in URC quarter-finals, while Leinster and Ulster set to meet again

Top seeds Munster will host the Ospreys in the quarter-finals of the BKT United Rugby Championship after beating Ulster 29-24 at Thomond Park.

The win, their ninth in a row, sees Graham Rowntree's men top the table on 68 points, two ahead of the Bulls after 18 rounds.

They face the Welsh outfit at Thomond Park on Friday night at 7.35pm.

Leinster, meanwhile, finished in third position after last night’s win over Connacht and will welcome Ulster to the Aviva Stadium on Saturday with a 5pm start.

Richie Murphy’s side have already beaten Leinster twice this season.

Benetton will travel to South Africa to face the Bulls, while Glasgow will have home advantage against the Stormers.

Ospreys secured a bonus-point win at Cardiff in the late kick-off to claim the eighth and final play-off place.
