Cardiff to host Reds’ possible semi with Ospreys

CARDIFF’S Millennium Stadium will play host to Munster in a Heineken Cup semi-final if Declan Kidney’s side defeat Gloucester and Ospreys overcome Saracens at the weekend.

ERC chiefs met yesterday to decide the venues on the weekend of April 26/27 and the winners of the games between London Irish and Perpignan and Saracens and Ospreys will have ‘home country’ advantage in the last four.

Munster fans would relish a meeting with Ospreys as the Welsh venue can accommodate 74,600 while a date with Saracens would mean a trip to the Ricoh Arena in Coventry and another ticket scramble to be among the 32,000 capacity crowd.
