    Leinster v Sale (17:30 BST)

    Hooker Dan Sheehan will captain Leinster for their Champions Cup quarter-final against Sale Sharks at Aviva Stadium with Caelan Doris ruled out of the game.

    Leinster head coach Leo Cullen makes three changes in total from the team which started last week's 49-31 last-16 victory over Edinburgh.

    With Andrew Porter also out, 20-year-old academy prop Alex Usanov will make his first start in the Champions Cup after coming on for Porter at half-time on Sunday.

    James Ryan returns from a calf injury to play in the second row alongside Joe McCarthy while Garry Ringrose is also back and partners Jamie Osborne at centre.

    As a result, Rieko Ioane, who started at centre against Edinburgh, shifts to left wing, while Ryan Baird moves to lock and Jack Conan switches from blindside flanker to number eight in the absence of Doris.

    On the bench, Ronan Kelleher, Jerry Cahir and Scott Penny are recalled to the matchday squad.

    FT Glasgow Warriors 19-22 Toulon

    Thanks very much Andy, and commiserations to Glasgow.

    A lot of people were backing Glasgow in that one so to see Toulon come away with the win and knock the Warriors out is a fairly large shock.

    Toulon's English back row Guy Mercer speaking afterwards was just explaining that his side being written off in many quarters had given them a huge amount of motivation.

    The French side were really up for it, they were very strong in defence and clinical in attack, scoring some great tries.

    A real sickener for Glasgow this afternoon. There was a real feel of stunned disappointment at the full-time whistle.

    FT: Glasgow Warriors 19-22 Toulon

    It's a real sickener for Glasgow as the chance of a first ever Champions Cup semi-final slips from their grasp.

    In truth they were well short of their best and Toulon perhaps just about deserved it.

    The French side will face Leinster or Sale in the last four. That match is up next and Steve Mather will be along shortly to guide you through it all.

    Toulon turn it over. They kick the ball dead.

    Glasgow are knocked out of the Champions Cup.

    Glasgow 19-22 Toulon

    Glasgow have 90 seconds to save their Champions Cup dream.

    They're trying everything but Toulon are holding firm, so far...

    Glasgow Warriors 19-22 Toulon

    Right on cue, Toulon inexplicably go to the air and the ball drifts out of play.

    Glasgow have a line-out just inside their own half. Can they find something? They always find something!

    Glasgow Warriors 19-22 Toulon

    Toulon are managing the situation very well at the moment. They are just holding onto the ball, running through the phases and running down the clock.

    Glasgow Warriors 19-22 Toulon

    Toulon go phase after phase, rumbling towards the Glasgow line until a knock on lets the Warriors out of jail.

    The defence was good but it's energy-sapping stuff. Glasgow need to get down the other end of the pitch. Time is slipping away.

    Glasgow Warriors 19-22 Toulon

    Glasgow are pinged at scrum time and Toulon now have a chance to build some pressure.

    A score for the French side now and it would be a long way back for Glasgow.

    Adam Hastings is forced off for a head injury assessment. Dan Lancaster is back on at 10 for Glasgow.

    Jack Dempsey is unchallenged in the air but fumbles the ball and the chance is gone.

    It's getting very nervy around Scotstoun.

    Glasgow Warriors 19-22 Toulon

    Glasgow going through the phases but the Toulon defence is strong again and they manage to turn the ball over.

    The French side look to counter from deep but they are then penalised and Adam Hastings is able to kick for the corner again...

    It's another big opportunity for Glasgow as Adam Hastings finds touch with a penalty into the Toulon 22.

    Glasgow Warriors 19-22 Toulon

    Franco Smith will be so frustrated that his side, having kept Toulon out with some ferocious goal-line defence, then concede such a soft try.

    The Glasgow coach has changed his entire front row. Warriors need to gather themselves and go again.

    Toulon hit the front again.

    It's brilliant from Nacho Brex to slice through the Glasgow defence and run it in from halfway, though Adam Hastings' first up defence looked very suspect.

    The conversion is off target and we have a three point game with 20 to play.

    Glasgow Warriors 19-17 Toulon

    Perhaps the biggest roar of the afternoon as Glasgow win the penalty on their own line to release the pressure valve.

    It looked for all the world that Toulon were going to find a way through, but the Glasgow defence was immense.

    "We are Warriors" rings around Scotstoun. That feels like a big moment in the contest.

    Glasgow Warriors 19-17 Toulon

    Glasgow hold firm for now, but they are penalised for offside and the referee warns captain Kyle Steyn any further infringements will result in a yellow card.

    Euan Ferrie comes on to replace Jare Oguntibeju in the Glasgow second row.

    Toulon are putting the squeeze on now. French scrum in the shadow of the Glasgow posts.
