Phew, that was some going!
Connacht, Toulouse and Wasps left everything out there as they battled it out for the final two Champions Cup quarter final spots.
The only last eight clash that was confirmed before today’s action was top seeds Clermont against Toulon at Stade Marcel Michelin. We also knew Munster and Saracens were second and third seeds. Only a 62+ point Connacht win would have bumped Leinster out of a home quarter final.
As it all played out Connacht lost 19-10 to Toulouse and could not get the losing bonus point that would have got them through. Wasps and Toulouse marched on to the last eight.
The quarter final picture is now clear.
Leinster will now play Wasps at the Aviva Stadium in their quarter final while Munster will welcome Toulouse to Thomond Park.
The dates and times of the four matches will be confirmed over the next 24 hours.
As for the semi-finals, the draw is keeping Leinster and Munster apart… until the final, of course!
