Jamie Heaslip says there is an extra bite in training this week as Leinster gear up for their European Champions Cup semi final against Toulon in France.
The Province are all but out of the running for a Pro 12 play off spot, so the success of their season rests on beating the back to back European Champions in their own back yard.
The likes of Carl Hayman, Bakkies Botha, Ali Williams, Mathieu Bastareaud, Freddy Michalak and Matt Giteau can line out for Toulon this week.
Heaslip thinks the French side are the Real Madrid of Rugby, but the Leinster captaining is relishing the chance to take on Toulon's galaxy of stars.
