Depends whether they revert to pre COVID rules of minimum ground capacity or keep the COVID system and let clubs continue to have proper home semi finals etc.

If we were lucky enough to make it that far I’m pretty certain the IRFU would demand it be in the Aviva.

With a 50/50 ticket split v Leinster probably. Would be travelling to Leicester, they won their pool.

They might, however the flip side is that there is only a week between quarter final and semi final, that doesn't give a lot of time to organise a 50,000 plus event (staff, catering, Gardai etc) and to also fill Lansdowne Road.

We should dig our heels in hard to keep it at Ravenhill if we get to that point.

Was pretty sure it would be Ulster/Toulouse at home to (probably) Leinster/Leicester??

Leicester won Pool B, Ulster 2nd in Pool A. Higher seed gets the home venue advantage. Racing 92 won Pool A.

You'd think actually winning more games would count for something! :duh:
