They didn’t make it easy for themselves.
Leinster completed an 18-15 win over Bath in the Champions Cup quarter-final to book a last-four clash with either Toulon or Wasps, but it was nervy at the finish.
There was plenty of sore loserdom on Twitter, but that won’t matter to the Irish province, for whom Ian Madigan was in imperious kicking form.
Game over in Dublin. @leinsterrugby have beaten Bath 18-15 #closecall

Leinster through … but serious heart in mouth stuff at the end. Game should have been long over, worrying lack of invention in second half

Job done! Nice position to be in now with the other three quarter finals yet to come. Well done @leinsterrugby

What a lovely tribute to Peter Stringer..! Massive welcome from the #Leinster fans as he comes on for #Bath— Des Cahill (@sportsdes) April 4, 2015
Leinster had the ref on toast all afternoon! Two very questionable decisions… The one at the end was 100% bath pen

Unconvincing from Leinster. Bath much better in open play. Can't see further progress. Fair play to madigan, exemplary kicking performance
