Toulouse earn final trek to Dublin

HEINEKEN Cup champions Toulouse booked a semi-final date with 2009 winners Leinster in Dublin after a thrilling 27-20 extra-time victory over Biarritz at Estadio Anoeta yesterday.

Toulouse looked dead and buried when Dimitri Yachvili stepped up to a potential match winning conversion in the final minute of normal time after Biarritz wing Llikena Bolakoro had levelled the scores (17-17). However he missed the effort, the game went to extra-time and Toulouse somehow eked out an win that keeps them in the hunt to retain their title.

The European champions now turn their focus on Leinster and that date at the Aviva Stadium on April 30.
