A place in the Heineken Champions Cup final is on the line as Leinster welcome Toulouse to the Aviva Stadium this afternoon.
Leinster 13-7 Toulouse Leinster have the advantage and when it comes to nothing, Sexton opts for the easy three points in front of the posts. Toulouse get penalised at the breakdown, giving Leinster a penalty that is converted by Sexton. A one point game. It's very much against the run of play as Keenan makes a great line break to put Leinster on the front foot. Leinster try!!! Clinical stuff from Leinster who have been very impressive in the opening quarter. This time Toulouse are penalised at the scrum, giving Leinster the opportunity to bring play up to halfway. A concern for Leinster as Ramos converts the penalty. Toulouse are penalised for being off their feet at the breakdown and their dissent to the referee sees them concede another ten metres. A rared missed opportunity for Leinster as they are penalised at the breakdown when in a strong attacking position. Caelan Doris penalised for going in at the side when Leinster have pushed towards the Toulouse 22. Apart from an intercept try from Dupont, Toulouse haven't offered a lot in attack, whereas Leinster have been deadly in possession.

Leinster Rugby have qualified for the 2022 edition of the Heineken Champions Cup final in Marseille on May 28.
And that was the ball game. A Leinster lineout faltered to invite Toulouse forward. Ringrose tickled a kick over the top. The Toulouse scrum turned defence into pressure. The maul was measured. The lineout was smooth.
All roads lead to Marseille, as Leinster emphatically dethroned the defending champions to advance to their first European final in three years.
Ryan and Molony both came up with crucial lineout steals, the latter allowing Leinster to launch another attack and when Gibson-Park blocked down Ntamack, the home side sensed blood. A second Sexton penalty cut the deficit and the talismanic skipper then turned provider. Sexton added the extras to put Leinster 13-7 in front. The hosts set about playing at a high tempo from the off and it was no surprise that they had identified Toulouse’s midfield as an area of weakness. For the second week running, Robbie Henshaw set the tone with a ferocious display. Thomas Ramos’s conversion put Toulouse 7-3 in front after seven minutes, but it was a lead they would soon relinquish.
Leinster Rugby advanced to the Heineken Champions Cup final as a try brace from James Lowe helped them to a 40-17 victory over reigning champions Stade.
It's an action-packed day of sport with big rugby, soccer and GAA games taking place.

Leinster are through to their sixth Champions Cup final after a dominant 40-17 victory over holders Toulouse at the Aviva Stadium.
Robbie Henshaw and Furlong made the initial headway before Sexton sent Lowe over with a delicate inside pass. A sustained period of possession led to a penalty under the posts and Byrne tapped over to extend the lead to 33-17 with five minutes left. Jimmy O'Brien, on his 50th appearance, and Lowe almost combined to get a fourth try but Toulouse managed to extricate themselves and earn field position, which led to replacement Selevasio Tolofua going over in the corner for a try that was converted by Ramos. Leinster didn’t manage to score with the Aussie in the bin but in the first play after his return they grabbed a third try. Gibson-Park was on the receiving end of some rough treatment at the back of the ruck and after being hit late earned a penalty that the captain slotted over. Van der Flier gave chase but the scrum-half was never going to be caught and Thomas Ramos's kick gave the French a 7-3 lead.
Here are the RugbyPass Leinster player ratings live from Aviva Stadium on a day when Leo Cullen's men turning the screw to dethrone Toulouse.
Leinster held back the majority of their bench until late, only unloading at a juncture when their ticket to Marseille was already booked. Was excellently direct in two early second-half carries at a time when Leinster were looking to build on their 13-point halftime lead. Played an all-court game that was best encapsulated by the minute when he expertly passed out of tackle while falling to the ground near halfway. His lineout steal on halfway was also the catalyst for the play that produced the second Low try. It took three Toulouse players to stop him from reaching the line in the corner in the fourth minute, Leinster instead making do with penalty points from in front of the posts, and he was inches from fetching a Johnny Sexton crosskick just before the break. Limped off after just 17 minutes with the score at 13-7 but had loads packed in by then in an accomplished all-action effort where he even stepped in at scrum-half on one occasion. Those two moments aside, he was his usual bundle of energy and it was his charge down on Juan Cruz Mallia that led to Lowe’s second try. He upped his work rate and made light the loss around the park of that prop powerhouse. That didn’t unsettle him, though, as his concentration was on point the rest of the way through as evident in some late-game tackles and then his work rate to score the final try. Intelligently played cup rugby, snapping up penalty points where they were on offer and producing quite the compilation of moves and tricks in open play to keep the Toulouse defence guessing. He also endured the agony of flapping at a Caelan Doris pass with the line approaching. Not that the contest was completely all one-way: A seventh-minute breakaway Dupont score had left those of blue persuasion in a bumper 42,076 crowd numb but that feeling didn’t last.
