- Semi-final: Toulouse 21-9 Bordeaux-Bègles
- Toulouse to face La Rochelle or Leinster at Twickenham
Toulouse will contest their first European Champions Cup final for 11 years after Antoine Dupont finally put an end to the valiant challenge of Bordeaux-Bègles. The four-times winners struggled to fully impose themselves on depleted opponents but eight minutes from time Dupont was on hand – as he so often is – to finish off Toulouse’s second try and book their place at Twickenham on 22 May.
It was not a semi-final for the ages, certainly neither side were helped by the weather, but plenty of credit must go to Bordeaux and in particular their ubiquitous captain, Matthieu Jalibert.
