And breathe…

Leinster have secured a home quarter final in the Champions Cup, after Montpellier and Bath both won thrilling games in pool 4, leaving both Toulouse and Glasgow devastated.

Both games swung one way and then the next, with Montpellier dumping their French rivals out on a scoreline of 27-26, while Bath won a 20-15 thriller against the Warriors, with Sean Maitland coming inches from scoring a levelling try in the last minute.

It now means that Leinster will face Bath (and Peter Stringer!) in the last eight at the RDS, regardless of what happens in the game between Saracens and Clermont later today.

Here’s how it stands, and bear in mind that either Saracens or Clermont will leapfrog Leinster by 5.15.
