Paris - Defending two-time champions Toulon and last season's beaten finalists Saracens advanced to the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup after beating Wasps and Racing-Metro in Sunday's quarters.

The April 18-19 semi-finals will see Toulon play three-time champions Leinster, who beat Bath 18-15 on Saturday, in Marseille's Stade Velodrome, while Saracens will travel to St Etienne's Geoffroy Guichard stadium to play Clermont, who put Northampton to the sword 37-5.

Toulon never looked overly troubled in their home 32-18 victory over Wasps, having built up a 22-6 half-time lead thanks to a barrelling Mathieu Bastareaud try converted by Frederic Michalak, who ended up with a personal haul of 22 points.
