Leinster scored seven tries exploiting Harlequins' errors and injuries to dominate the Champions Cup opener, reflecting their strong clinical performance and resilience.
- On Saturday, Leinster opened the 2025/26 Champions Cup pool stage with a seven-try victory at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin.
- Ahead of the match, Harlequins travelled with several notable injuries and were still recovering from a 62-0 defeat, while Leinster had been inconsistent this term with three URC losses.

- Leinster finished with a bonus-point win over Harlequins at the Aviva, pulling away in the second half as returning Joe McCarthy led their forwards, despite conceding four tries.
- Reiko Ioane's debut off the bench adds profile as Leinster seeks cohesion to resolve season-long inconsistencies after mixed URC form.
