All four sides are anticipating a great day of rugby with Cardiff Blues’ coach Dai Young saying: "The players know each other really well and in the context of it being a semi final of the EDF Energy Cup it looks like being a big occasion for the fans and the players alike.”
Ospreys assistant coach Sean Holley added: "We're delighted with the way things have panned out and that there will definitely be a Welsh team in the final of the EDF Energy Cup. The semi-final will be a great day of rugby all round in Cardiff and I'm sure there will be a great atmosphere and a huge crowd.”
Sale Sharks and Leicester Tigers, who contested last season’s Guinness Premiership final will also be gunning for a return to Twickenham with a place in the EDF Energy Cup final. Leicester Tigers chief executive Peter Wheeler said: "It's a tough game for us but there are four very good teams in the semi-finals. We've had tough games against Ospreys and Cardiff in the last 12 months and of course some big games against Sale too.
"I'm sure there will be a big crowd at the Millennium Stadium. We have won there once already this season and I'm sure all our players will be looking forward to it."
Sale Sharks director of rugby Philippe Saint Andre added: "It's a tough draw but we are looking forward to a great game with Leicester and the day out with our loyal supporters at the Millennium Stadium."
