TOULOUSE thwarted a thrilling Harlequins fightback today to triumph 38-26 and book a Champions Cup final clash against fellow European heavyweights Leinster.

The competition’s two most successful teams, who boast nine titles between them, will go head-to-head at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on May 25.

But Toulouse had to survive a major scare on home soil at Le Stadium after Quins threatened to overhaul a 31-12 deficit.
