Schmidt predicts tough semi-final

Leinster boss Joe Schmidt has predicted an “horrendously tough” Heineken Cup semi-final for his team after they cruised into the competition’s penultimate knockout round.

The reigning European champions will head to Twickenham or Bordeaux on April 29, depending on the winners of tomorrow’s Vicarage Road tie between Saracens and Clermont Auvergne.
