Leinster v Toulouse kick-off time, TV Information, team news, betting odds and more

Leinster and Toulouse clash in a mouth-watering semi-final fixture in the Heineken Champions cup this weekend.

Leinster comfortably dispatched of Leicester Tigers at Welford Road last weekend. Leo Cullen's side took control of that game with two early tries and eventually ran out nine point winners, winning by a scoreline of 23-14.

Toulouse on the other hand had to do things the hard way. After a grueling 100 minutes of a stalemate against Munster, Toulouse finally emerged victorious in a place kicking contest to reach the semi-final.

Dave Kearney and Will Connors remain missing for Leinster through injury. Ryan Baird is back in contention, while Ronan Kelleher should feature after recovering from a shoulder knock.

Leo Cullen: "Really good intent I think in the first half in attack and defence. I thought we put the Tigers under a fair bit of pressure when they had the ball," Cullen told RTÉ Sport.

"They had some chances in our 22. James Ryan came up with a big lineout steal at one point. Obviously Leicester were in our 22 a few times but I think it was just the way we executed when we got into their end. [That] was pleasing.

"Obviously, they turned down a couple of kicks at goal and went to the corner so we managed to hold them out on a few of those occasions, which was pleasing.

"The second half they threw the kitchen sink at us. Got us at the start, a couple of penalties around set-pieces, they eventually get in at the corner [a try scored by Chris Ashton].

"We made hard work of some of our exits so we put pressure on ourselves, which was probably the opposite of what was going on in the first half.

Odds

Leinster: 1/4

Toulouse: 3/1

Draw: 25/1
