This is the third meeting of the side's this season. Pitted against each other in the Pool Stages, it's one win apiece, but the momentum is with the current Heineken Cup holders Toulouse. A 23-16 Round 1 defeat at Meadowbank was avenged in Round 6 Minus the on-park leadership of Todd Blackadder, the Gunners have found life tough. The round six loss in Toulouse saw them slip from top seeds to eighth, and face the tricky tie they have now.

Toulouse may be without Jean-Baptiste Ellissalde for the match, but that won't bother wily old coach Guy Noves too much. The twice-European champions have a strong squad, and even stronger team spirit.
