This season's Celtic League final has been fixed for Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on February 1st. The match will be a Wales/Ireland affair, with the winners of the January 3rd clash between Munster and Ulster taking on Neath or Cardiff, who meet at The Gnoll the following day.

“After last year and such a marvellous final in Dublin, the Celtic League Association felt this season the final would be staged at either Murrayfield or the Millennium Stadium,” said Bill Watson the Celtic League chairman. “Now, with a Welsh team guaranteed a place in the final, that decision has been made for us."
