Toulouse with the winner going through to the semi where they will meet play Toulon. This time last year these two sides were playing eachother in the exact fixture in a play where Toulouse were victorious that day winning 33-19 before losing to Toulon in the semi's. Toulouse will start as the favourites tonight and after 20 consecutive finals they will be hoping to make it 21 with a win over the Parisians Racing Metro. Toulouse who went through some bad form in March and looked like missing out on a play-off spot but after some strong performance they managed to finish fourth finishing ahead of Racing because of a better points difference. After an impressive win over Grenoble last week Toulouse will be full of confidence tonight as they look to end their season with a trophy, as for Racing who were arguably one of the better sides in the second half of the season, they were humiliated by Montpellier last week as their 5 game winning steak ended. Racing have never made the semi's in their short existence in Rugby Union, but they will hoping to turn that around tonight. Toulouse have only lost twice at home in 53 games but Racing, did have one of the best away records in the league so they will fancy themselves tonight.
