Leinster vs Toulouse Preview


This is certainly a clash between two of the best club teams in Europe, if not the world. Both sides are majority internationals from Ireland and France so expect a humdinger on Saturday evening.

Leinster have lost the last two finals when they were favourites against La Rochelle, but I have a feeling this will be their year. I am backing the Irish club to cover the -1 handicap and win by less than 12 points.

  • Leinster have won 3 of their 4 matches against Toulouse.
  • Leinster have won 10 of their last 13 matches.
  • Toulouse have won 4 of their last 5 matches.
  • Toulouse are top of the Top 14 in France.

Head to Head


Leinster have won three of their four matches against Toulouse. 

Leinster Form


Leinster will be hoping for third time lucky in 2024 after losing the last two Champions Cup finals to La Rochelle. This year they have another French outfit standing in their way.

The Irish giants have been the favourites to win the last two (at least) tournaments have regularly failed at the final hurdle. This year will be no easy ride with Toulouse is great form.

Results have not been perfect for Leinster over the last few weeks, but that can be put down to them resting a number of players. They suffered a double defeat in South Africa with a second-string side but returned home to beat Northampton 20-17 in the Champions Cup semi-final.

It was followed by a big win over Ospreys before losing 23-21 at Ulster last weekend.

Leinster Injuries & Team News


Leinster have rung the changes as expected. James Lowe is on the left wing with Robbie Henshaw returning to outside centre. Jamison-Gibson Park and Ross Byrne continue in their 9/10 axis.

Toulouse Form


Toulouse will be confident that they have quality within their squad to take the title home on Saturday. It should be a cracking encounter between the two best sides in Europe.

Toulouse have won their last four matches with their last defeat coming by a point at Toulon on 20 April. The French club beat Harlequins 38-26 at home in the Champions Cup semi-final.

Last week Toulouse defeated Montpellier 29-22 away from home in the Top 14 despite resting key players.

Toulouse Injuries & Team News


Key for Toulouse will be the sensational paring of Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack as halfbacks. These two can win a game on their own, but their forwards will have to match that of Leinster.

Verdict

I am backing Leinster to win the Champions Cup by covering the -1 handicap and to win the game by 1-12 points.
