The Heineken Cup has received a ringing endorsement from the biggest name in the game.
England and Newcastle Falcons star Jonny Wilkinson says his No 1 career ambition is hold the Cup aloft.
"The Heineken Cup is the biggest thing you can do with a club - and it is the biggest goal I have left in rugby," he said. "Rugby is all about winning with your friends and reaping the rewards."
Wilkinson made a comeback from injury in the Falcons' 13-10 win over Edinburgh at Murrayfield - the venue of the 2004-05 Cup final next May.
The win was Wilkinson's first away victory in the competition and gives Newcastle a seven-point lead in Pool 5. They have games against Perpignan (away) and the Newport Gwent Dragons (home) left to play.
