"I have got great memories of the Heineken Cup. It is the best club competition in the world so from that point of view it is nice to be part of it," he said.
"I lost one final as a player and won two as director of rugby so it is nice to be back there and hopefully meeting up with some old adversaries.
"Winning the final in Paris is one of the most treasured moments of my rugby career and probably will stay up there for a long time, it is something you set your heart on achieving again.
"It was a great day for Leicester rugby, but looking forward it is something we have got to try to emulate with Harlequins.
"Being in the Heineken Cup is the next stage, but for us it is also the route forward because it is also a question of how far you can get in the Heineken Cup.
"We have got to set a route for getting through the pool stages and we are in a difficult group - Cardiff and Stade Francais are flying high at the moment while Bristol are a difficult team to beat.
"We are looking forward to it but we know our backs are up against the wall and we just have to go out there and play our hearts out.
"Stade Francais away is one hell of an opening game. There is only one side who have gone there and won as long as the competition has been going, but we are looking forward to it."
