Men in the middle.
European Champions Cup rugby returns this weekend with four mouth-watering quarter final match-ups.
Up first we’ve got some Friday Night Lights with Scarlets hosting Top 14 fliers La Rochelle at Parc y Scarlets. England’s Luke Pearce will take charge of that encounter.
Next up it’s Munster hosting French giants, and three-time champions, Toulon. Nigel Owens is set referee that clash, with fellow Welshmen Ben Whitehouse and Ian Davies set to assist him.
