RCT Faces Warriors in Champions Cup Quarter-Finals

RC Toulon advanced to the Champions Cup semifinals following a 22-19 victory over the Glasgow Warriors on April 11, 2026. The quarter-final match took place at Scotstoun Stadium, marking the fourth consecutive season that these two clubs have faced one another in the competition.

Toulon, a three-time champion of the tournament, secured the win in a closely contested encounter. The result ensures the French side continues its progression in the tournament, while the Glasgow Warriors were eliminated despite playing in their home stadium.

Glasgow’s Path to the Quarter-Finals

The Glasgow Warriors entered the quarter-final after securing their spot with a 25-21 victory over the Vodacom Bulls. That match, which took place on April 5, 2026, was described as a tight contest where the defensive lines remained closely matched ten minutes after the restart before Glasgow eventually secured the win.

In preparation for the clash against RC Toulon, Glasgow coach Franco Smith implemented two changes to the squad. These adjustments were made as the Warriors looked to maintain their momentum following the victory over the Bulls.

Squad Availability and Personnel

RC Toulon’s roster for the trip to Scotland saw both a significant return and a notable absence. A France international with 50 caps returned from injury in time for the match. However, the team’s full-back was ruled out and unavailable for the fixture.

Tournament Outlook

The victory moves RC Toulon into the next stage of the competition. The organizer of the Champions Cup, EPCR, has confirmed that the semifinals are scheduled to take place on the weekend of May 2-3, 2026. Four potential venues have been identified to host the semifinal matches.

The April 11 fixtures also included a quarter-final match between Leinster Rugby and the Sale Sharks.
