EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS CUP RUGBY, SKY SPORTS ACTION, SATURDAY 3.30PM

Irish rugby is riding on the crest of a wave, despite the fallout from that trial in Belfast and the provinces will be looking to keep the party going with their two European Champions Cup semi finals this weekend.

Leinster are at home in the first of the semi finals when they take on Scarlets in the Aviva Stadium.

The Blues have been the form team of this season and despite a defeat in the Pro 14 last weekend they will enter the action full of confidence.

Munster are in action on Sunday in France and depending on the result in Dublin on Saturday, they could be looking to make it an all Irish final.
