"We want to see exactly where we are as a team. People are talking about us in the Premiership and we'll be there or thereabouts. But we want to see how good we really are on the big stage of Europe and what better team to test ourselves against than the Heineken Cup champions with about eight or nine Lions in their starting line-up."
Also on the European front we hear from, among others, Northampton Saints boss Jim Mallinder, Gloucester captain Gareth Delve, Harlequins' Will Skinner and Dean Schofield of Sale Sharks.
