81'29-14 End of half
81'29-14 End of half
81'29-14 End of second half
80'That's the full-time whistle. Munster will travel to Marseille to face Toulon in the last four of the Heineken Cup
79'29-14 Penalty goal - Matt Giteau , Toulon
78'Penalty for Toulon Giteau knocks over the points and that's game over
76'Steffon Armitage is named Man of the Match and rightly so
76'Substitute on - Isaac Boss , Leinster
76'Player substituted - Eoin Reddan , Leinster
74'Yellow card - Florian Fresia , Toulon
73'Toulon down to 14 men as Fresia is sin-binned for an illegal clearout at the breakdown. But crucially... Leinster miss touch with the penalty
71'David Smith makes a half-break and Toulon get back within striking distance of Leinster's line
70'26-14 Try - Jordi Murphy , Leinster
70'Substitute on - Virgile Bruni , Toulon
70'Player substituted - Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe , Toulon
70'Player substituted - Mike McCarthy , Leinster
70'Substitute on - Leo Cullen , Leinster
69'Well this just got interesting... Jordi Murphy scores and Leinster are back within 12 points. It was the old-fashioned rolling maul that saw them over the line. Perhaps critically, though, Gopperth misses the extras
69'Substitute on - Martin Castrogiovanni , Toulon
69'Player substituted - Carl Hayman , Toulon
67'Substitute on - Konstantine Mikautadze , Toulon

65'Substitute on - Jack McGrath , Leinster
65'Player substituted - Cian Healy , Leinster
63'23-9 Conversion - Matt Giteau , Toulon
62'Giteau adds the extras - is that too much of a deficit for Leinster to make up?
62'21-9 Try - Drew Mitchell , Toulon
61'Try for Toulon Drew Mitchell is the man being congratulated after a great piece of play from Steffon Armitage
60'Good break from Zane Kirchner puts Leinster into Toulon's 22 but the French side have got the edge at the breakdown with Steffon Armitage superb
60'Substitute on - Florian Fresia , Toulon
60'Player substituted - Xavier Chiocci , Toulon
59'Player substituted - Mike Ross , Leinster
59'Substitute on - Marty Moore , Leinster
58'Leinster are getting the better of the front-row battle as they draw a penalty in their own 22
56'Steffon Armitage is causing Leinster all sorts of difficulties with him making solid yards off one-out passing
55'16-9 Penalty goal - Jimmy Gopperth , Leinster
54'Penalty for Leinster Gopperth fares better this time as his kick sails through the uprights
53'Substitute on - Jordi Murphy , Leinster

47'16-6 Conversion - Matt Giteau , Toulon
46'Giteau adds the extras from in front of the sticks
46'14-6 Try - Xavier Chiocci , Toulon
45'Try for Toulon Xavier Chiocci is left holding the ball as relentless pressure on Leinster's line eventually sees Toulon get the first score. Craig Burden deserves plenty of credit for his part in the try
43'Steffon Armitage shows off his arsenal of skills as he kicks long and then smashes Rob Kearney into touch
43'9-6 Penalty goal - Matt Giteau , Toulon
42'Penalty for Toulon Matt Giteau finds his radar and boots Toulon into the lead from the halfway line
41'Good start to the second-half for Toulon as Shane Jennings is whistled for holding on
41'6-6 End of first half
40'That's half-time. Toulon have enjoyed more territory but the score is all-square at the break
40'6-6 Start of second half
38'Leinster are trying to shift the ball with pace but end up getting turned over near their own 22
35'Toulon's physicality is causing Leinster difficulty but every time there is a hint of a break, the scramble defence reforms and holds Toulon out
33'Great half-break from Kearney nearly puts Gordon D'Arcy away but his pass finds the turf instead of hands
32'Giteau snatches at the penalty and it's still all-square
31'Toulon draw a penalty from the scrum with Leinster pinged for going offside. Giteau now takes over the kicking duties from Wilkinson
29'6-6 Penalty goal - Jimmy Gopperth , Leinster
28'Penalty for Leinster Gopperth draws Leinster level amid plenty of noise from the Toulon support
28'Substitute on - Maxime Mermoz , Toulon
28'Player substituted - Jonny Wilkinson , Toulon
27'Wilkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury - Maxime Mermoz replaces him. Advantage Leinster?
26'Great pressure from Leinster as Cian Healy's nudge through causes all sort of havoc in the Toulon defence. Meanwhile both Brian O'Driscoll and Jonny Wilkinson receive treatment - Wilkinson is having his hamstring heavily strapped
24'Toulon and especially Giteau are looking to exploit the blindside but Leinster rally to put David Smith into touch
21'Toulon put themselves in a great position after Giteau's break but Leinster's defence stands firm
20'6-3 Penalty goal - Jimmy Gopperth , Leinster

18'Player substituted - Fergus McFadden , Leinster
18'Substitute on - Zane Kirchner , Leinster
17'6-0 Penalty goal - Jonny Wilkinson , Toulon
16'Penalty for Toulon It's a fair old way out for Wilkinson but that doesn't bother him as he stretches Toulon's lead
15'
14'Leinster finally enjoy some time in Toulon's 22 with the forwards attempting to make some yards
12'O'Driscoll is whistled for a tackle on Delon Armitage but it looks to have given Leinster some impetus
9'Again Toulon go close as Tillous-Borde gets agonisingly close to the try line but Leinster's defence is superb and O'Driscoll hacks clear
8'Toulon go close again as they attempt to put in the pass that was sure to lead to a try but Rob Kearney reads it to perfection and intercepts it. A try-saving intervention from Kearney
4'3-0 Penalty goal - Jonny Wilkinson , Toulon
3'Penalty for Toulon Jonny Wilkinson slots the opening points of the game from the left of the uprights
2'Great start from Toulon as Leinster just about manage to keep the home side out. Both Juan Smith and Mathieu Bastareaud go close but Wayne Barnes pulls Toulon back for a penalty
1' It's the champions Toulon versus Leinster, the team who are no strangers to success. It's the final time Jonny Wilkinson will face Brian O'Driscoll. It's the last Heineken Cup quarter-final.
