Leinster vs Harlequins has the potential to be one of the standout matches of Round 1 of the Champions Cup as Jason Gilmore’s side travel to Ireland.
By now, rugby fans have become accustomed to Leinster being one of Europe’s elite teams. Leo Cullen’s side remain a hotbed of Irish talent, and it would be a surprise if they weren’t at least in the final four once again. Today they begin their campaign against PREM Rugby’s Harlequins and welcome a host of internationals. Dan Sheehan, Caelan Doris, Jamison Gibson-Park and Sam Prendergast return to the starting XV, while New Zealand star Rieko Ioane has to settle for a place on the bench.
For Quins, few tests are tougher 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 first six games and just two away wins in 2025. It’s hard to see them winning this one, but with offensive threats like Marcus Smith and Caden Murley on their defensive line, they are always capable of causing problems. The lingering worry for Quins will be the memory of their last meeting with Leinster in April, when they were thrashed 62-0.
