Brilliant footage shows Toulon doing training drills on Dublin street ahead of Leinster loss

This is great!

Instead of a field or the gym, they were filmed on a Dublin street doing maul drills, while others causally tossed the ball around.

It is unclear exactly where the street is, but it is likely near their hotel or the stadium.

Unfortunately their unorthodox methods did not pay off and they ended up losing 29-25 to Leinster, who will face either Bordeaux or Bath in the final.

Ahead of the game, Toulon head coach Pierre Mignoni said: “History matters. It’s very important for us but no particular pressure. The players of today are different to 11 years ago, the last time we played in the semi-final and final. There is no pressure, just a lot of excitement.

“This group wants to start its history in the Champions Cup. We came here in 2023 and won the Challenge Cup and started to write this history and we want to continue. Eleven and 12 years ago is a beautiful story but that is over.

“We are still playing a Leinster team present every year at this stage of the tournament and that means they have experience. I have players with that too. At international level. But we would admit they are much more ahead than we are the last few years.”
