Rugby Round-Up: Champions Cup Preview

Leinster opens its Investec Champions Cup campaign at Aviva Stadium with a Round 1 matchup against Gallagher PREM opponent Harlequins, renewing a fixture that produced one of the most dominant results of the year. 

When these sides last met in Round 16 earlier this season, Leinster delivered a 62–0 victory, a performance built on tempo, depth and their trademark defensive precision. They also enter this weekend having won the most recent meeting between the clubs.

Both teams come in with different patterns of domestic form. Leinster has gone 3–2 in its past five URC matches, relying on an experienced spine and world-class continuity across the forward pack. 

Harlequins, meanwhile, have been less consistent at 2–3 in their last five Premiership appearances. Even with their attacking threats, the challenge of facing Leinster at Aviva Stadium—especially in European competition—heightens the difficulty of Round 1.

2025 Leinster Rugby vs Harlequin F.C.


This match is part of the “12 Matches of Christmas” Presented by World Rugby Shop,” meaning fans can watch free on FloRugby’s YouTube page in addition to streaming live on FloRugby and the FloSports app.

With Leinster’s history of strong starts in Europe and Harlequins looking for an early statement, this matchup presents a compelling opening test for both clubs.
