Leinster to host Wasps at Aviva


Leinster will host Wasps in the Champions Cup quarter-final at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, April 1.

Leo Cullen's qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions Cup by topping Pool 4 and secured a home quarter-final with a hard-fought 24-24 draw against Castres last weekend.

The Blues are bidding to emulate Toulouse's record of four European titles but Wasps will present a stern test to the Irish side after the Aviva Premiership side defeated them twice in last year's competition.
