Leinster v Toulouse - Teams

Leinster will look to stay alive in this season's Heineken Cup when they welcome Toulouse to Dublin.

The Magners League side know only a win will do against the three-time champions if they are to have any hope of reaching the quarter-finals.

Even two wins from their final games may not be enough for Leinster. They need Edinburgh to beat Leicester and Toulouse in the final round of matches to be in contention.

Their task this weekend is tough enough in itself. Toulouse are top of Pool Six and judging from their team selection, keen to stay there.

A 22-11 win over Leicester last time out means they sit five points clear of the Tigers, who travel to Edinburgh this weekend.

They have already defeated Leinster once already in this year's tournament, scoring 27 unanswered points in the second half to triumph 33-6.

However, they have a mixed record in Ireland and were comprehensively beaten on their last visit back in 2001.

The hosts will have to succeed without Shane Horgan after the winger failed a fitness test.

Leinster skipper Brian O'Driscoll will make his 50th Heineken Cup appearance on Saturday.
