Toulouse full back out of Heineken Cup final

Nicolas Jeanjean is out of the Heineken Cup final – but Toulouse are confident they can ride his loss in their all-French Dublin showdown with Perpignan on 24 May.

Full back Jeanjean suffered a torn hamstring in last weekend’s 34-20 victory over Biarritz Olympique and prop Patrice Collazo is also a concern with foot damage but Guy Noves, head coach of the 1996 Heineken Cup champions, declared: “We have a big enough squad to cope with this sort of thing.”
