Denis Leamy believes Munster will have to raise their performance levels yet again from their Champions Cup Round of 16 victory at La Rochelle when they return to France to take on top seeds Bordeaux-Begles this Saturday for a place in the semi-finals,.

Munster have been an upward trajectory since rebounding from consecutive URC defeats to Edinburgh and Glasgow, rescuing their end of season play-off hopes with a victory at Connacht and then turning the tables on Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle last Saturday with a 25-24 Round of 16 victory.
