Leinster vs Harlequins has the potential to be one of the standout fixtures of Round 1 in the Champions Cup as Jason Gilmore’s side make the trip to Ireland.
By now, rugby fans have become accustomed to Leinster being one of Europe’s elite teams. Leo Cullen’s squad remains a hotbed of Irish talent, and it would be a surprise if they weren’t in at least the final four once again. Today, they begin their campaign against PREM Rugby’s Harlequins and welcome back a host of 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 settle for a place on the bench.
For Quins, few tests come tougher than a visit to the URC champions and four-time winners of the Champions Cup. Their start to the league season has been far from ideal, with just two wins from their opening six fixtures, and only two victories on the road in 2025. It’s difficult to see them winning this one, but with attacking threats like Marcus Smith and Caden Murley in their backline, they are always capable of causing problems. The lingering concern for Quins will be the memory of their last meeting with Leinster in April, when they were thrashed 62–0.
