Overview
- Leinster, which beat Edinburgh 49-31 on Sunday, will host Sale Sharks in the Champions Cup quarter-finals next Saturday in Dublin.
- The last-16 game produced 12 tries as Edinburgh cashed in on Leinster handling errors and interceptions to lead 31-28 early in the second half.
- Tommy O’Brien scored twice inside nine minutes, Harry Byrne went seven from seven off the tee, and late tries by Josh van der Flier, Tom Clarkson and Rieko Ioane sealed the win.
- Cullen said the side must tidy up their ball security and reset fast for a six-day turnaround before facing Sale at Aviva Stadium.
- Season numbers show Leinster conceding more points than last year, which heightens the value of home advantage in knockout rugby.
