It shows just how competitive the Heineken Cup have become that after the opening two rounds, only three of the 24 teams have managed back-to-back wins. The good news from an Irish perspective is that, along with Toulouse, the other two are Leinster and Ulster, whose outstanding 8-25 win over joint Top 14 leaders Montpellier at the Stade Yevs du Manoir has set them up for greater things.
