Perpignan can't wait for their clash against Toulon in Barcelona this weekend according to Samoan back row Henry Tuilagi.

The quarter-finalists were beaten 25 v 24 by Toulouse on the weekend but go into their last eight clash in Spain full of confidence and are aiming to go all the way to Cardiff and the Heineken Cup final.

“There is a lot of excitement about playing in Barcelona, especially for the Catalan people,” said Tuilagi.

“It is the biggest city for the Catalans and world famous for the football team. So it is great for the club and for rugby that we will play there.

“We still want to make the Top 14 play-offs but the Heineken Cup is very important to us and now it is possibly our best chance of winning a trophy this season.

“The club has reached the final in the past but this is our chance to go all the way.

“We were unlucky to lose to Toulouse but we can use that as a turning point for the rest of the season.

“It's a very big rivalry with Toulon and every game against them is tough. They beat us at home so we can't make the same mistakes again.

“They will come with some confidence but this is a different competition and a different occasion.”
