No complaints from Heaslip

Toulouse stormed to a sixth final in Europe's premier competition courtesy of second-half tries from Yannick Jauzion and David Skrela in a 26-16 victory.

Heaslip grabbed a late consolation for the Irish province but it proved to be too little, too late in the south of France.

Number eight Heaslip said: "It wasn't for a lack of heart but Toulouse were the best team on the day and we can have no complaints.

"They contested very well around the pitch and I don't we controlled possession or territory very well.

"We gave them a couple of easy outs with the penalties in both 22's. they took their scores well. They were the better team, simple as."

Leinster were level at 9-9 until Jauzion and man-of-the-match Skrela crossed for quick-fire, second half scores at the Stade Municipal.

But back-rower Heaslip reckons the Irish province were guilty of wasting their opportunities against the French giants.

Heaslip added: "We were confident coming into the game and we didn't have any doubts over our ability on the pitch or the gameplan we were trying to play.

"We had a couple of slips in concentration for the tries and they punished us for our mistakes in defence.

"But we weren't clincial ourselves. We had a couple of chances but that's the way rugby goes.
