Job done, but it took a while to get going. Leinster were flat in the first half, giving Sale just enough hope to hang around, before turning on the afterburners after the break and putting the Sharks to the sword in ruthless fashion. The Aviva crowd got their European night in the end, and Leinster are into the last four.

European knockout rugby is back at the Aviva. Leinster host Sale Sharks in the Investec Champions Cup quarter-final on Saturday evening, unbeaten in Europe all season and with a home crowd behind them. Sale arrive as proper underdogs with a front row crisis, but they have nothing to lose and Alex Sanderson's side are not coming to Dublin to make up the numbers. One slip in discipline and this could get uncomfortable.

Back to the blue, and what a rollercoaster it was. After the Easter Sunday fireworks at the Aviva, Leinster have secured their spot in the final eight, but not without a serious scare from a resilient Edinburgh side. It was a game that had everything: tries, a shock lead for the visitors in the second half, and a clinical late surge led by our All Blacks recruit. While the 49–31 scoreline looks comfortable, the "generosity" shown in the first half will have Leo Cullen and Jacques Nienaber working overtime before the Sharks arrive in town.
