(UTV|COLOMBO) – Leinster knocked out Champions Cup holders Saracens in Dublin to set up a home semi-final against Scarlets.
Garry Ringrose crossed early on, before Johnny Sexton and Owen Farrell traded penalties as back-to-back winners Saracens trailed 13-12 at the break.
Leinster looked to have run away with it through tries from Dan Leavy and James Lowe before Blair Cowan replied.
But the top seeds held on to end Saracens’ hopes of a third straight trophy.
Leinster, who remain unbeaten in this year’s competition, will hosts last season’s Pro12 champions Scarlets at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in the first semi-final.
Racing 92, who beat 2017 runners-up Clermont earlier on Sunday, face Munster in Bordeaux in the other last-four tie.
Leone Nakarawa, Marc Andreu and Boris Palu all crossed for Racing as they shocked hosts Clermont at the Stade Marcel-Michelin 28-17.
