Munster will host Ulster and Leinster will host Cardiff Blues in the quarter-final round of the Heineken Cup. Munster ended the pool stage as top seed, with Leinster finishing as second seed, guaranteeing both provinces home quarter-finals.
Ulster secured the second-best pool runners-up spot and qualified for the quarters as the last seed.

The winner of the Munster/Ulster quarter-final has been drawn to have home advantage in the semi-finals against the winner of the Edinburgh v Toulouse quarter.
