On The Record

Leinster came to Marseille ‘nourished by the possibility of revenge’ and ‘with no intention of playing, nor making it a spectacle’.

Murray Kinsella brought us the reaction of some of the French press to Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Toulon in Marseille yesterday.

The Fixture List

All eyes tomorrow evening will be on the second-leg action in the Champions League quarter-finals. Bayern Munich will have home advantage as they aim to overturn a 3-1 deficit against Porto, while Paris St German will have a mountain to climb against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. The French side also trail 3-1 from the first-leg.
