Photograph: Bryan Keane /InphoAfter Sale Sharks’ deserved 26-17 win at Harlequins on Saturday, head coach Alex Sanderson could not conceal his excitement about the prospect of going to Dublin for Saturday’s Champions Cup quarter-final – only the fourth in their history. All of this was said the day before Leinster actually beat Edinburgh 49-31 to set up the Aviva Stadium quarter-final, but no-one on the Premier Sports panel was of a mind to mention that. “They’ve top end performers as well, guys who have been around the block so they know what they’re doing,” said Leinster head coach Leo Cullen. Caelan (Doris) was really good throughout in the huddles. He brought great energy, was really good in training and he was flying about the place.
