Leinster cruised to a 27-10 win over Leicester on Saturday with Munster securing a losing bonus-point against 14-man Northampton in their 26-23 defeat.

Munster or Nortampton will face either the Vodacom Bulls or Lyon in the last eight.

In the Challenge Cup, the Irish provinces both face trips to France after Connacht were paired with Top 14 side Pau and Ulster drawn against Montpellier.
