Champions Cup & EPCR — Sunday 10 May 2026

The stage is set for a highly anticipated semi-final clash between Leinster and Toulon, with both sides holding pedigree in the competition. Leinster enters the contest having reached the semi-finals for the sixth season in a row, building on a historic club run. The Irish outfit is desperate to remedy the shock defeat suffered at the same stage last year. Their opponents, Toulon, bring with them the reputation of a side that has lifted the European Champions Cup seven times. With home advantage firmly in their corner, Leinster will look to maintain the impressive form that has characterized their recent efforts in this tournament.

Beyond the marquee matchup, the Pro D2 saw Oyonnax take victory, driven by the continuous threat of Samoan centre Danny Toala. Toala put in a pre-eminent display, notably scoring a try in the second period and recording three clearances across the game. He orchestrated a formidable trio of breakthroughs, including a decisive one during the first half, following the try scored by Kevin Lebreton. The former Moana Pasifika player maintained a consistent, dynamic threat on the Nevers defence throughout the match, playing a key role in Oyonnax's overall dominance. The action across the Top 14 also showed signs of depth, with Christopher Tolofua successfully adapting to a new role on the wing for his club.
