Leicester Tigers v Leinster LIVE: Ollie Chessum and James Ryan ... (Leicestershire Live)

Mattioli Woods Welford Road hosts eagerly-anticipated last-eight clash on Saturday (5.30pm)

Two of their last three games against Irish sides have been decided by a single point. - Leicester’s Tommy Reffell is one of just three players to make 70+ tackles in the Heineken Champions Cup this season (76). Meanwhile, Leinster’s Ronan Kelleher is one of just four players to make 30+ tackles without missing in the competition this season (34/34). - No side have scored more tries originating from lineouts in this season’s Heineken Champions Cup than Leinster (18) or Leicester (13), with 68% of Leicester’s tries this season having come from a lineout, the highest ratio of any side in the competition. They have not conceded 20+ points in any game during that period. - Of clubs remaining in this season’s Heineken Champions Cup, no side have scored more points in the last 20 minutes of games than Leinster (59) or Leicester (47). Additionally, only Racing 92 (3) have conceded fewer points in the final quarter of matches this season than Leicester (10). That task goes to Guy Porter who is partnered in midfield by Matias Moroni. - No side have attempted more kicks from open play in this season’s Heineken Champions Cup than Leicester (204). Consequently, they have also made more kicking meters than any other side in this season’s competition (6,884). - Leinster have won their last seven away games in England in the Heineken Champions Cup, by an average margin of 23 points, after winning none of the previous four (D1 L3). They recorded their biggest away win in the competition during their last trip to England, 64-7 against Bath Rugby in January this year. - Leicester have won their last two fixtures against Irish opposition in the Heineken Champions Cup after previously losing four in a row. - Leicester have won three of their last four knockout stage fixtures in the Heineken Champions Cup after previously losing four in a row. James Ryan, 6. James Lowe, 10.

Leicester v Leinster: Five talking points (Irish Examiner)

Nothing will matter other than the final scoreline when Leicester and Leinster go at it today, but that doesn't mean there aren't a whole host of intriguing ...

The French official penalised Ireland six times at the scrum even though plenty of those who have experienced life in the setpiece were saying then and since that Ellis Genge was all but driving in at right angles. Whatever the rights and wrongs of it, the decisions at scrum and at the ruck will be raked through with a fine tooth pick by both sides and spectators. Tigers have a dozen in that category with Calum Green leading the way on 26, all for the midlands club. Not one of the Irish side’s starting players has played 20 games or more this season. That’s two weeks for the others back in UCD war-gaming for this quarter-final. Three of those on the bench today saw game time as well.

Leinster v Leicester match result and RECAP from Champions Cup ... (Irish Mirror)

Johnny Sexton opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a penalty but it wasn't until the 18th minute that the game had its first try. That came through a ...

Sexton adds the extras and Leinster are well up early on here. Leicester develop the maul and put the squeeze on Leinster before Nic Dolly gets over for their second try. Too little too late, but something for the home fans to cheer here late on. Leicester offered very little in between Leinster's creative spells and their punishment was a 20-0 half-time deficit. Sexton added the extras once again to give Leinster a commanding lead. Sexton's extras gave Leinster an 11 point lead.

Leinster blow away Leicester in chastening defeat for the English ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

Coming into this Champions Cup quarter-final, Leicester were defending an unbeaten home record at Mattioli Woods Welford Road but their impregnable fortress was ...

The other wing is tackled well and it goes back to any number of penalties for the Irish XV. There's a lot more to come from us on and off the field." Leinster have defended well when they've had to and been bar far the more accurate side. Leicester were unable to form a maul but they did retain the possession and the hulking Nemani Nadolo was held up after Leinster conceded a penalty for offside. A scrum penalty in front of the posts gave Ford the opportunity to close the gap to ten points. They go short from the lineout, they're looking more menacing and are within three yards of the whitewash. Back to the corner they went and another Montoya throw was picked off. In the week that Tom Youngs announced his retirement, no doubt a few home truths were administered in the home changing room about the need to play for the shirt. Leicester fought back in the second half with tries from Chris Ashton and Nic Dolly restoring a measure of pride but the scoreboard did not do justice to the gulf in class between the teams. Simon Massie-Taylor, the PRL chief executive, warned this week that Premiership teams may struggle to compete in Europe and this was a frightening glimpse of what might be a barren few years for English sides, at least until Saracens re-enter the fray. But what might be dominant carries in the Premiership seemed powderpuff against Leinster as Tadhg Furlong put a bone-rattling shot in on Ellis Genge before Ollie Chessum knocked on. Close-range tries from Josh van der Flier and Robbie Henshaw did the damage in the first half for Leinster with scrum half Jamison Gibson-Park running rampant behind a dominant pack.

Team News | Tigers side for European Quarter-Final (Leicester Tigers)

Steve Borthwick has named the Leicester Tigers matchday squad for Saturday's Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final against Leinster Rugby at Mattioli Woods ...

Ford’s conversion was perfect from the left touchline and the crowd responded as the fly-half cleared cleanly from the restart to push Leinster back again. Lowe was caught by the Tigers as he hesitated after calling a mark, giving the home side a scrum just a few metres from the tryline. Ashton chipped play down the line by Hugo Keenan got back to sweep up as the referee blew for half-time. Tigers then drove from lineout ball up to the tryline on the right and kept composure to attack again, until Ford fizzed a past to the left and Ashton ran into the corner. A combination of Reffell and Harry Potter then forced Leinster into an error in their own half, but ball was just nudged forward and the Blues had a scrum to clear back upfield. Tigers enjoyed a good spell of territory in the following minutes, George Ford teasing the defence with two kicks – one high which James Lowe gathered safely and one long into the 22 to force the blue shirts back – and the first scrum brought a penalty award for the hosts but the defensive line stood up for multiple phases before ball was smothered on the floor.
