Munster have been warned - Toulouse are on a mission to return to their oft-claimed status as Europe’s top dogs following last season’s Heineken Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Leinster, says centre Pita Ahki.

The five-time European champions suffered a chastening 40-17 defeat to Leo Cullen’s team at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium last May, their title defence ending at the last-four stage in the same venue they had squeaked past quarter-final opponents Munster on penalty kicks seven days earlier.
