Today it was confirmed that the winners of the Heineken Cup quarter final Munster/Ospreys tie will go on to meet the winners of the Harlequins/Leinster clash.

According to the draw this afternoon, in the event that Munster advance to the semi final in this year's Heineken Cup, Munster will be awarded the home country advantage.

ERC requirements stipulate that the venue must be a neutral venue with a minimum capacity of 20000, and under these requirements the only ground to fit those criteria at the moment would be the RDS in Dublin.

The semi finals of the Heineken Cup come under the auspices of the ERC and any venue selection is determined and confirmed by them.
