Cheika reveals pride as Lions focus on final destination

AFTER his side produced one of the biggest shocks in Heineken Cup history, Leinster coach Michael Cheika would be expected to bask in the glow of praise and congratulations.

But, after handing Toulouse their first European defeat at home for five years, Cheika wanted to talk about the future - a meeting with Munster in three weeks’ time. And that’s not the limit of his expectations.

Cheika said: “We’re not quite the finished article, but our aim was not just to win a quarter-final; it’s to go on from here, win a semi and then win a final.
