WASPS will play defending champions Leicester Tigers in the EDF Energy Cup semi-finals at the Millennium Stadium on March 22.

It is a repeat of last season's Heineken Cup Final, which Wasps won.

The winners will play either Saracens or Ospreys in the final at Twickenham on April 12.

Danny Cipriani said: "It would be difficult against any of those three teams but playing against Leicester, with Martin Corry and those guys - it's going to be a massive day, just like last year's Heineken Cup final."

Wasps Director of Rugby Ian McGeechan said: "We are delighted to be in another semi-final and we will be looking forward to meeting Leicester at the Millennium Stadium in March.

"The knock-out stages are always great occasions, and having three English clubs getting through shows the current good health of the Guinness Premiership."

"The semis will be contested by four quality sides, who will all contribute to a very exciting day of rugby for players and supporters alike, and playing Leicester is going to be a massive challenge for us."
