Leinster, Toulouse face English duo in Champions Cup semi-finals

Irish side Leinster will aim to make it a hat-trick of European Champions Cup final appearances when they host English club Northampton Saints at a sold out Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday as they look to regain the title they last won in 2018. Four-time winners Leinster narrowly lost to French outfit La Rochelle in the last two finals, but convincingly beat coach Ronan O'Gara's side 40-13 in this year's quarter-finals to underline their status as the team to beat in the competition. The second semi-final on Sunday sees record five-time winners Toulouse host Harlequins, where they will be favourites to book a final place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on May 25.
