"Of course, I still very much want to get a win at Lansdowne Road and despite losing on Saturday, it's great to be able to have another stab at it with my club Biarritz next month.
"The good thing about playing at the same venue as our quarter-final is that at least Dimitri and I will be able to tell our team mates all about it - we have seen the dressing rooms, the lay of the land and what the wind is like there so it's all useful preparation.
