Champions Cup quarter-final: Leinster v La Rochelle - All you need to know

The Investec Champions and Challenge Cups continue to gather pace this week, and by Sunday evening we will know our final four in each competition.

The game of the week is undoubtedly at 5.30pm at the Aviva Stadium, where Leinster and La Rochelle meet for the fifth time in four seasons, the latest instalment of what's become the best rivalry in club rugby.

There's also plenty of Irish interest in the Challenge Cup, where Ulster and Connacht are away from home for the second week in a row, looking to follow up on last week's big wins over Montpellier and Pau respectively.

Richie Murphy's Ulster are away to three-time champions Clermont Auvergne on Saturday, while Connacht will get a second shot at Benetton on Sunday, having lost to the Italians in the URC a couple of weeks ago.
