Leinster v Toulouse live stream: How to watch the Champions Cup semi-final from anywhere

Two rugby powerhouses meet at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon with a place in the European Champions Cup final on the line.

Defending champions Toulouse, who have won the trophy five times, are back in Dublin a week after seeing off Munster in a rare placekicking competition in the quarter-final stage.

Four-times winners Leinster enjoyed a more comfortable victory over Leicester to reach the last four, where they face Toulouse for the fourth time at this stage of the competition.

The French won the first semi-final meeting, but Leinster have won their last two, including a 30-12 victory in 2019.

The match (kick-off 3pm) has been called “as big as it gets” in club rugby by Leinster wing James Lowe, one of a raft of internationals across the two sides competing for a place in the final in Marseille at the end of the month.

Find out how the two teams line up here and below we provide a how to watch guide for this match so you can catch the action wherever you are.
