What time is Leinster vs Toulouse on? Irish TV channel, stream and odds for massive Champions Cup semi-final clash

LEINSTER Rugby will look to book a Champions Cup final place with a win over Toulouse this Saturday in Dublin.

Leo Cullen's men are just one game away from booking a home final spot as they face their French rivals at Aviva Stadium.

The semi-final clash at IRFU HQ this Saturday is heading for expected ticket sales of 45,000.

This is despite concerns from some within the province, and supporters, about price hikes and the potential absence of some season-ticket holders.

Competition organisers EPCR took back organisational control of the semi-final after the last-8 fixture.

Cheaper ticket were initially available, but only €75 seats and upwards remained available after sales passed the 37,000 mark earlier this week.

The four-time Champions Cup winners face 5-time winners Toulouse, who will be looking for revenge after last season's semi-final loss to the Dublin based side.

Here's all you need to know ahead of Saturday's clash.
