Leinster will play their Champions Cup quarter-final with Leicester Tigers on Good Friday, with an 8pm kick-off in the Aviva Stadium.

The game (Live on RTÉ2/Player) is likely to be played at a reduced capacity due to the logistics of a five-day turnaround from this weekend's matches.

Leo Cullen’s men had a 30-15 success over Ulster on Saturday in difficult conditions in Dublin.

Elsewhere, Toulouse will face Cell C Sharks and Exeter Chiefs meet DHL Stormers on Saturday afternoon.

Toulouse thumped the Bulls 33-9 today and Exeter edge Montpellier on tries scored after a 33-all draw.

Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle will take on Saracens on Sunday at 3pm.

La Rochelle had a dramatic 29-26 victory over Gloucester with a late try at Stade Marcel Deflandre on Saturday while Saracens beat Ospreys 35-20 today.
