Tough pool helped us - Williams

Leinster Lions coach Matt Williams says the benefits of drawing a tough Pool are starting to pay off as he eyes tough French side Perpignan in a Heineken Cup semi-final at Lansdowne Road on Sunday.

Leinster have already seen off French clubs Montferrand (Pool stages) and Biarritz Olympique (quarter-finals) this season, and will provide one half of a dream Cup final at Lansdowne Road if they can get past an ever-improving Perpignan side.
