The match

The Champions Cup reaches its crescendo on Saturday when Leinster take on Toulouse in the final at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Record United Rugby Championship (URC) champions Leinster overcame English side Northampton Saints to book their third successive final. Having already secured a home playoff slot and another Champions Cup berth, Leinster have dipped in recent URC games. The Irish side agonizingly lost 23-21 in their last URC outing against their counterparts Ulster, who completed the double over them. A last-gasp penalty from John Cooney was the dagger in the heart for Leinster who suffered a two points loss. The defeat meant that Leinster have now registered three losses in their last four URC games. Leo Cullen’s side also have a poor record in the final, losing their last three including the last two to La Rochelle.

In the other semi, Toulouse relied on Antoine Dupont’s brilliance to brush aside Harlequins to enter their seventh Champions Cup final. Record Champions Cup winners Toulouse will hope to add to their record of five titles. The reigning French 14 champions are enjoying a successful run having already secured a Top 14 semi-final berth in the playoff. They currently sit at the summit of the standings with a four-point buffer over second-placed Stade Francais Paris. Their good string of results has seen them secure seven wins in the last eight games. Toulouse will look to 2021 World Rugby Men's 15s Player of the Year Antoine Dupont for inspiration having scored five tries. Ugo Mola’s men have a good record in the final, winning their last two and only suffering two defeats in seven.

Key Statistics

  • Toulouse are unbeaten in the Champions Cup winning all seven games
  • In five of their last seven Champions Cup finals, Toulouse emerged winners
  • In their last two Champions Cup finals, Leinster lost to French opposition
  • Leinster lost their last three Champions Cup finals
  • Toulouse have won seven of their last eight games

The bet of our experts

Toulouse head into the final in better form, having won seven of their last eight games in all competitions. Both sides have a 100% record in the Champions Cup having won all their games this season. The French side however has pedigree in the final, having won five of their seven finals to date. Leinster on the other hand have an unwanted record of losing their last three finals in the Champions Cup. Our prediction for Leinster v Toulouse is a win for Toulouse.
