• <strong>Leinster</strong> and Stade Toulousain<br />
will meet for the 13th time in<br />
the Heineken Champions Cup, only<br />
Munster and Castres Olympique (18)<br />
have faced each other more often<br />
in the competition; the two clubs<br />
are evenly split having won six<br />
games apiece in their previous 12<br />
encounters.<br />
• This will be the fourth time<br />
<strong>Leinster</strong> and Stade Toulousain<br />
have met in the semi-finals of the<br />
Heineken Champions Cup, the most<br />
played fixture at this stage of the<br />
competition (Munster v Saracens,<br />
3 times); <strong>Toulouse</strong> won the first<br />
semi-final clash between the clubs<br />
at Stadium de <strong>Toulouse</strong> in 2009/10,<br />
while <strong>Leinster</strong> have won their two<br />
such meetings since then.<br />
• Stade Toulousain (2.79) and<br />
<strong>Leinster</strong> Rugby (2.85) are the<br />
only sides to boast an average<br />
ruck speed under three seconds<br />
in the Heineken Champions Cup<br />
this season; in defence, only Sale<br />
Sharks (4.15) have slowed down<br />
their opponents’ rucks more than<br />
<strong>Toulouse</strong> (3.99).<br />
• <strong>Leinster</strong> have averaged the most<br />
metres (930) and line breaks<br />
(10.2) per game of any club in<br />
the Heineken Champions Cup this<br />
season, while Stade Toulousain<br />
have beaten the most defenders<br />
(31.8) and made the most offloads<br />
(16.4) on average.<br />
• Antoine Dupont has averaged<br />
six defenders beaten per game in<br />
the Heineken Champions Cup this<br />
season, the most of any player<br />
to feature more than once this<br />
campaign, overall only Michael<br />
Lowry (29) has beaten more<br />
defenders than last year’s EPCR<br />
European Player of the Year (24).<br />
• Thomas Ramos has made the most<br />
offloads of any player in the<br />
Heineken Champions Cup this season<br />
(16), while he has the best goal<br />
kicking success rate of anyone to<br />
attempt more than 10 kicks at goal<br />
in 2021/22 (90%, 17/19).<br />
• James Lowe has scored eight tries<br />
in the Heineken Champions Cup this<br />
season, more than any other player,<br />
while no player has made more<br />
line breaks than the <strong>Leinster</strong> wing<br />
(9, level with Michael Lowry and<br />
Alivereti Raka).<br />
