Cheika disappointed as Leinster fall short

Michael Cheika took scant consolation from Leinster’s fighting spirit as the champions bowed out of the Heineken Cup with a 26-16 defeat by Toulouse.

Tournament favourites Toulouse booked their place in the final on May 22 with a impressive second-half display that saw Yannick Jauzion and man of the match David Skrela touch down.
