We also beat them 24-18 at The Stoop in 2014. Tikoirotuma scored
a length of the field interception.

Didn't we play them at the Aviva and one of our players got a
red card for something (maybe gouging).
But, after the game, the Irish players said that actually
nothing bad happened.

"European Champions Cup: Leinster 14-13 Harlequins
12 December 2014
Updated 13 December 2014
Harlequins staged a strong comeback in the second half against
Leinster but still fell to their first defeat of a fiercely
competitive Pool Two....
[B]Quins finished with 14 men after lock Charlie Matthews saw
yellow for raising his hands to Dominic Ryan's face during an
off-the-ball incident.[/b]"
Fond memories of the home win the previous week when 75% of the
stoop seemed to be taken over by very loud Leinster fans...who
were very quiet Leinster fans by the end!

Yeah - in my memory, it was a ridiculous card.
From the BBC:
Harlequins lock Charlie Matthews has been cleared after being
cited for an incident in Saturday's European Rugby Champions Cup
game versus Leinster.
Matthews was cited following an off-the-ball incident with
Leinster's Dominic Ryan.
The 23-year-old was shown a yellow card in the 78th minute for
allegedly making contact with Ryan's eye area.
Matthews pleaded not guilty and an independent officer was not
satisfied he had committed an act of foul play.
Rod McKenzie, the independent judicial officer, studied footage
of the incident and heard evidence from Matthews, Quins director
of rugby Conor O'Shea, and European Professional Club Rugby's
disciplinary officer.
Leinster's Ryan also submitted evidence, in which he stated that
he had not felt any contact with his eye area.
Matthews avoids a ban which, at a minimum, would have been 12
weeks.
I didn't realise that it was so late in the game - but, I do
remember that it killed the chance of the comeback.

Feels very silly saying this after our heroics in the knockouts
last season, but we have no chance. There is a huge gulf between
the big French sides / Leinster and the rest. The competition is
a farce.
I'll be cheering on anyone who plays against Leinster, Bordeaux,
Toulouse, or La Rochelle!

Just been looking on the Leinster Fan Forum. Apparently our R16
game is scheduled not for the Aviva, but for Croke Park! If so,
there's more chance of getting a ticket there, given the
capacity is similar to Twickenham...

Should also be the Friday or Saturday. Croke Park has another
fixture currently booked in for Sunday 6th April.
