Leinster vs Harlequins has the potential to be one of the biggest matches of the Champions Cup first round as Jason Gilmore’s side travel to Ireland.
Rugby fans have now become accustomed to Leinster being one of the elite teams in Europe. Leo Cullen’s side remain a hotbed of Irish talent, and it would be a surprise if they didn’t make the last four again. Today, they begin their campaign against Harlequins from PREM Rugby and welcome back many internationals. Dan Sheehan, Caelan Doris, Jamison Gibson-Park and Sam Prendergast all return to the starting XV, while New Zealand star Rieko Ioane has to make do with a place on the bench.
For Quins, few tests are more difficult than a visit to the URC champions and four-time Champions Cup winners. Their start to the league season has been far from ideal, with just two wins in their opening six matches, and just two away wins in 2025. It’s hard to see them winning this one, but with attacking threats like Marcus Smith and Caden Murley in their defense, they are still capable of causing problems. The lingering worry for Quins will be the memory of their last meeting with Leinster in April, when they were beaten 62-0.
