Leinster v Ulster live stream: How to watch the Champions Cup match online

Leinster will have the favourite's tag when they take on provincial rivals Ulster in the last 16 of the Heineken Champions Cup.

Leo Cullen's side were irresistible in the group stages as they picked up bonus point wins in all four matches to dominate Pool A.

It means the province will enjoy home advantage as they welcome Ulster to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday.

They also boast a very good recent record over Ulster as well as European victories over them in the 2012 final and the 2019 quarter-final.

“I think it will be an amazing atmosphere and occasion for Irish rugby, because it’s club rugby, provincial rugby," said Leinster head coach Leo Cullen.

"It’s all that’s good about the game here in many ways and that lays the platform for the international game really. Obviously for us, the club game lays the platform for our game, so it will hopefully be a great showcase for Irish rugby.”

Ulster scraped into the knockout stages after finishing eighth in Pool B following just one victory in their four pool matches.

The match is scheduled for a 5.30pm kick-off and will be shown live on RTE 2 and BT Sport.

Irish viewers will be able to stream the match online on the RTE Player, with coverage beginning at 4.30pm.
