Leinster Reach Semis, But Doubts Remain After Sale Win

Leinster have advanced to the European Champions Cup semi-finals with a 43-13 victory over England's Sale Sharks. They will now face French club Toulon at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on May 2 or 3. This will be Leinster's 17th appearance in the tournament's semi-final stage. Despite the strong final score, the performance raised questions about their current form. A weakened Sale team, missing many key players, competed strongly for 50 minutes. Leinster only secured the win with four tries in the final half-hour. This follows a recent struggle by Leinster to defeat Edinburgh. Their next opponents, Toulon, will likely see this as an opportunity. Both teams have not been at their most fluent this season.
