Defending champions Saracens will travel to Leinster in the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup after squeezing through to the knockout stage as the third-best second-placed team.

"It doesn't really matter where it is", said Saracens coach Mark McCall of the last eight clash.

Saracens are the tournament's only English survivors, with their qualification avoiding a wipeout for the first time in the 21 seasons that England have had top-flight European representation.

Two years ago five of the quarter-finalists were English so why the Premiership clubs have struggled this season is a question furrowing the brows of a number of pundits.

This Pool went right down to the wire, with La Rochelle marking their Champions Cup debut by finishing first when they beat Harlequins 16-7 in Round 6 as previous leaders Ulster Rugby were slipping to a 26-7 defeat at Wasps, who leapfrogged over the Irish province into second with that bonus-point win.
