Munster and Leinster fans giddy as Champions Cup semi final scenarios revealed

There will be no repeat of 2006 and 2009. Thank the Lord for that.

Leinster and Munster had their Champions Cup quarter finals confirmed earlier this evening while Connacht missed out in heartbreaking fashion against Toulouse. Second seeds Munster will face Toulouse at Thomond Park on the March 31 to April 2 weekend, while Leinster will host Wasps at the Aviva Stadium. Munster will be guaranteed a home semi-final, most certainly at the Aviva Stadium, if they can overcome the four-time European Cup champions in Limerick and Saracens beat Glasgow. That potential semi-final was confirmed soon after the pool stages ended. A Munster victory would pit them against either reigning champions Saracens or PRO12 rivals Glasgow Warriors. If Leinster were to defeat Wasps, they would have to travel to the South of France to take on the winner of Clermont's quarter final with Toulon. https://twitter.com/btsportrugby/status/823218554392707076 Needless to say, once the prospective routes to the final were learned, both Leinster and Munster fans had only one thing in mind - Champions Cup final at Murrayfield on May 13. https://twitter.com/jamieparry85/status/823225954050904064 https://twitter.com/ireland_90/status/823229533658583040 https://twitter.com/willgkelleher/status/823219935388303360 One man is fancying Munster's odds right now https://twitter.com/PerryRSM/status/823229160189476864 However, a Glasgow Warriors fan teed up a potential, feisty Munster return to Scotland https://twitter.com/topofthemoonGW/status/823215944596131840 Why would second seeds Munster not be guaranteed a home semi-final? Well, there is an odd reason for it. https://twitter.com/tonystredwick/status/823229088391458816 This sets up the odd prospect of Munster winning their quarter final and willing on champions Saracens just so they can have a crack at them in Ireland.
