Llanelli Scarlets have decided not to move their Heineken European Cup quarter-final against reigning European champions Munster from Stradey Park. Although their ground has a capacity of under 11,000, Llanelli directors have opted against switching the tie.

The Ospreys' Liberty Stadium in Swansea was a possible alternative, given it can hold just over 20,000.

Quarter-final dates and kick-off times are set to be announced later this week, with the other ties seeing Leicester hosting Stade Francais, Wasps entertaining Leinster, and Northampton visiting Biarritz.
