Leinster will play a Champions Cup semi-final at Croke Park if they progress past La Rochelle in Saturday's quarter-final of the competition. 

The GAA HQ has been included in a list of potential venues for the last four clashes by tournament organisers.

Leinster's regular home venue for major games, Aviva Stadium, is unavailable due to preparations for the Europa League final. 

It will be the first rugby game at Croke Park since the 2010 Six Nations.

Last month, the GAA Central Council agreed to make Croke Park available for a number of forthcoming Leinster rugby games as well as a pre-season soccer friendly.

UPMC Nowlan Park is also set to host Leinster URC games next season, due to redevelopment work at the RDS.
