Edinburgh will face Emirates Lion at Hive Stadium in the EPCR Challenge Cup Round of 16 on Friday 4 April, kick-off 8pm.

Tournament organisers EPCR today confirmed fixture details for all knockout matches with Edinburgh Rugby and South African side Emirates Lions set to kick-off the Round of 16 encounters under the Friday night lights at Hive Stadium.

The season ticket member pre-sale is now open for this can’t-miss fixture and the club is delighted to offer season ticket members an exclusive 20% discount on tickets for the game.

The club negotiated the discount with our opponents and EPCR after our qualification was secured on Sunday afternoon, and it will be automatically applied to your member account.

You can use the discount online to buy your season ticket member spot or any other spot(s) in the ground – with no limit to how many you buy – right up until kick-off, however your member spot will only remain reserved until 11.59pm on Monday 27 January.

The Castle Club pre-sale window will open on Friday (24 January) before the public sale opens next Tuesday 28 January.

The match will be a can’t-miss, winner-takes-all encounter for a home Quarter-Final against Aviron Bayonnais or Vodacom Bulls.
