They'll face either holders Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich in Budapest at the end of the month.

PSG take a 5-4 lead into tonight's second leg in Germany.

That's underway at 8.

Scott Bemand's side are in Belfast on Saturday to face Wales, having fallen to a 26-7 defeat away to France two weeks ago.
