Leinster beat Connacht to become the first side to reach the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals
Four French teams will compete in the quarter-finals of this season's Heineken Champions Cup, joined by two apiece from England and Ireland.
Sale sealed their place in the last eight with victory over Premiership rivals Bristol Bears, while Leicester overcame French side Clermont Auvergne.
English champions Harlequins were knocked out after losing to Montpellier by a single point on aggregate, and 2020 winners Exeter were beaten by Munster.
The Irish province are joined by Leinster, who beat Connacht under the lights on Friday, and defending champions Toulouse, who left it late to edge Ulster.
La Rochelle will be hoping to go one better than their second-place finish last year after beating Bordeaux Begles, while Racing 92 complete the line-up after cruising past Stade Francais 33-22 on Sunday for a 55-31 aggregate victory.
Unlike the last 16, the quarter-finals will be played as one tie, with the highest-ranked clubs from the pool stage having home advantage.
