Campaign so far
It has been a contrasting campaign for the two sides to date. Ulster are undefeated in the competition fo far, accounting for ASM Clermont Auvergne and Northampton Saints both home and away in the pool stages to rank second overall in Pool A on 19 match points.
The reigning champions, Toulouse, have had an uncharacteristically rocky journey to this stage. They opened their campaign with a thumping 7-39 win away in Cardiff. Their Round 2 fixture against Wasps was cancelled due to Covid, with the result being recorded as a 0-0 draw. In Round 3, Toulouse travelled to Wasps and were defeated 30-22. Then in Round 4, their scheduled home fixture against Cardiff was also cancelled due to Covid, with Cardiff being awarded the five match points. Toulouse's total of seven match points was enough to finish 7th in Pool B.
Last Time Out
Last Saturday afternoon, Toulouse and Ulster met at Le Stadium in the south of France for the first leg of the Heineken Champions Cup Round of 16.
Robert Baloucoune was the hero, scoring a hat-trick of tries, as the Ulster men recorded a famous victory.

The Opposition

Toulouse have a star-studded squad, featuring the likes of current World Rugby and Six Nations Player of the Year Antoine Dupont, and his fellow French internationals Romain Ntamack, Cyril Baille and Julien Marchand.
