LEINSTER should march on to the Champions Cup semi-finals tonight when they welcome a depleted Glasgow Warriors to the Aviva Stadium. Last week's Croke Park last-16 encounter with Harlequins bordered on farcical as the English side didn't put up much resistance in a 62-0 pasting. But this evening should prove a significantly sterner test despite the Scottish outfit being beset by injuries at the moment. They qualified for the quarter-finals by beating Leicester Tigers 43-19 at Scotstoun Stadium on Saturday. Here's everything to know around how to catch this evening's encounter: What TV channel is Leinster vs Glasgow Warriors on? The match will be shown live on free-to-air as it'll be broadcast on RTE Two. That means you have the free streaming option of the RTE Player with which to avail of. Alternatively, it'll also be live on Premier Sports 1 if you happen to prefer their coverage. What time is kick-off between Leinster and Glasgow Warriors. It will be an 8 pm kick-off. A crowd of around 30k is expected to show up to Lansdowne Road according to club estimates. What are the odds? The Blues are 1/18 to make it through to the final four while the visitors are 8/1 outsiders. You can back the draw at 33/1. The handicap is set at +/-18 points. What's been said in the build-up? Head coach Cullen insists winger Tommy O'Brien deserves his chance after so many false starts. O’Brien, 26, will make his first Champions Cup start after getting the nod ahead of Jamie Osborne. Cullen said: “When you’ve got a guy who has serious speed and power, you’re probably more susceptible to picking up soft tissue injuries. "The slower people are not as cursed as much. He has real intensity to what he delivers on a week-to-week basis. "His attention to detail is great, Tommy, he works very hard on all aspects of his game.” Also in from the start are front rows Cian Healy, Rónan Kelleher and Tadhg Furlong. Max Deegan comes into the back row and Jordie Barrett has been chosen in the centre. Caelan Doris drops to the bench along with the front row that started against Harlequins, while Cullen revealed that Ryan Baird is absent from the 23 due to a short-term injury. LEINSTER: H Keenan; T O’Brien, G Ringrose, J Barrett, J Lowe; S Prendergast, J Gibson-Park; C Healy, R Kelleher, T Furlong; J McCarthy, RG Snyman; M Deegan, J van der Flier, J Conan.
