Leinster will play a remarkable seventh Investec Champions Cup in a row when they take on Toulon on Saturday, 2 May.

Having lost the final three times in recent years, Leinster will be hoping to go one better this time out. But first, they have to get through their semi-final against an in-form Toulon.

Leinster last won the tournament in Bilbao, and a visit to the stadium for this year’s final will give them a chance to secure a fifth Champions Cup title. The winners of Saturday’s game will take on the victor in the other semi-final between Bath and Bordeaux.

What time is kick-off and what TV channel is it on?

The match kicks off at 3 pm on Saturday BST and will be broadcast in Ireland and across the UK on Premier Sports. Fans can get access to Premier Sports without a full subscription by adding it to their Amazon Prime account. Those without an Amazon account can get a free trial here.

Fans in the US will be able to watch Leinster versus Toulon and Bath versus Bordeaux in the second semi-final on FloSports, which has the rights to the Investec Champions Cup in the US.

Where is the match being played?

The game takes place at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, and Leinster will be facing late decisions on the fitness of James Lowe, Tadhg Furlong, Andrew Porter, Jordan Larmour and Diarmuid Mangan. However, Ryan Baird and Charlie Tector will both miss the game through injury.

Leinster lost against Benetton in the United Rugby Championship last time out, while Toulon are on a streak of good form, having beaten Bayonne in the Top 14.

Despite the win, Toulon are eighth in the Top 14 table, two places behind fellow Champions Cup semi-finalists Bordeaux Begles. However, they have won their last four, including an impressive victory over Glasgow Warriors in the quarter-final.
