Leicester Tigers must wait to find out if they have qualified for the Investec Champions Cup last 16 after defeat by pool-toppers Leinster.
Leicester started fast, scoring the opening try through Hanro Liebenberg before Handre Pollard's penalty extended the lead to 10 points.
Leinster responded with tries from Joe McCarthy, Jordan Larmour and hooker Dan Sheehan.
Caelan Doris scored the bonus-point try as Leinster secured a home tie.
The Tigers only needed a point to qualify for the knockout stages but must now wait on the outcome of Sunday's match between La Rochelle and Sale Sharks in Manchester.
