Montferrand coach Alain Hyardet has singled out Epi Taione as the big Newcastle Falcons dangerman in their Parker Pen Challenge Cup Round 2 first leg contest at Kingston Park on Sunday.
'We haven't got much footage of Newcastle but I know they got a bit of a mauling by Harlequins and they will be determined to show their true qualities," said Hyardet.
"They have some great forwards - Mark Andrews, Garath Archer and the Tongan Epi Taione, who is particularly good at breaking the gainline.
'For us it is a huge opportunity to be able to play Newcastle Falcons. They are a good team in the Zurich Premiership and the home of the star of the World Cup Jonny Wilkinson.
"Playing away first means that by the time we play in Montferrand we will know what we have to do - to play out of our skins or repeat a good performance.
'Our objective this weekend is to produce a good performance in order to qualify at Montferrand the following week."
