Leinster v Northampton date, start time, TV channel information and more for the Champions Cup clash

Leinster will be hoping to make it two wins from their opening two Champions Cup games this weekend.

Leo Cullen's side face Northampton in Dublin after defeating Montpellier in France last week.

The sides also clashed in this competition last year, with Leinster winning 43-16 in England before running out 50-21 winners on Irish soil and they are 200/1 on to be victorious again here.

The Blues are the outright favourites in the betting to win the competition as they aim to be crowned champions for the first time since 2018.
