A quiet Sunday morning in Toulouse will give way to a raucous afternoon as Ulster get ready to take on Antoine Dupont's Toulouse.

It's expected to be a sell out and it should be a superb atmosphere despite it being a wet and pretty blustery day.

A fair number of Ulster fans have made their way over to France despite Storm Darragh, which should add to the occasion.

They've been taking in the sights this morning, including the impressive Basilique Saint-Sernin de Toulouse.

It's all eyes on Leicester and Bordeaux first up but it's the turn of the champions later as Toulouse take on Ulster.

Our reporter Andy Gray is out there, so let's get a bit of the pre-game flavour from him next...

Speaking to Premier Sports, Leicester head coach Michael Chieka said: "There are players stepping in for a chance today that have been banging on the door for, so it's a big opportunity for them.

"Playing away from home in Europe, you need to be able to defend well and take the crowd out of the game as much as possible. It's about believing in your own system, no panic and being aggressive."
