So before they eye the biggest prize in European club rugby, Clerc and the rest of Toulouse know they must first get on with the business of the French Championship.
They head to Brive this Saturday for the first of what promises to be a tough route to the Championship final after being drawn in the same play-off pool as Heineken Cup quarter-finalists Stade Francais and Biarritz, the team they beat to reach next month's final.
"We are now in the play-off phase of the French championship and we will use those matches to prepare for the final," said Clerc.
"They will help us to build up the pace of our game because we haven't really been performing 100% lately and we will have to give more than 100% if we are to beat the Wasps.
"We're thrilled to be playing Wasps - it gives an extra challenge because of the fact that we are going to be playing them in their own back yard. That means Twickenham will be full and it will be a fantastic atmosphere.
"Not many teams have won the Heineken Cup twice in a row - only Leicester - but that is our aim. We've also got the title to defend so a win would be for the players but also for the town and all the supporters.
"Wasps are the team that have been on form since the start of the Heineken Cup season. They are the favourites for the title but it's up to us to get them to slip up on their territory."
