VIDEO: England’s captain doesn’t rate Leinster’s chances this weekend

Should we have expected anything else?

We’re now just days away from the semi final of the Champions Cup and luckily for us there is still one Irish side left.

Toulon await Matt O Connors’s side this weekend in Marseille, and after their shocking loss to Dragons last week all Leinster’s hopes are now focused on beating the Top 14 side this weekend if they are to enjoy a positive end to the season.

We’re confident there’s a big performance in this Leinster side, but England’s Chris Robshaw disagrees as he gives Toulon the nod to win through to another European final at Leinster’s expense.

He clearly doesn’t think Jamie Heaslip can topple the French as he states that Toulon have a better squad and their very proud home record makes them his choice to reach next month’s finale.

We’re not totally disagreeing, but he’s being a bit stingy on Leinster given their record in this competition over the last few years.
