Leinster and Munster could face each other in a mouth-watering Heineken Cup semi-final.

But in order for that to happen, both sides will have to overcome French opposition in April when the competition resumes.

Leinster face a tough trip to the Stade Mayol to take on champions Toulon.

But Bernard Jackman reckons that the province have every chance of toppling Jonny Wilkinson and co.

"They are beatable. I don't think that they are as good as last season. They have an ageing squad and there are problems. There's a big disharmony with the forwards coach Jacques Delmas and a lot of the players. They just don't seem to be playing well at the moment. Even Wilkinson isn't getting the backline going and Matt Giteau got injured at the weekend. He's the real creative spark that they have," said Jackman.

"I think it's a good draw for Leinster. I would fancy Leinster to win because they play the game at such a high pace. Toulon try and bully teams and even though they're physically stronger than Leinster, I think Leinster can match them over 80 minutes."

Quinlan added that Leinster would have every chance if they controlled possession.

Munster host Toulouse at Thomond Park. While Alan Quinlan cited the superior fitness of the Irish provinces, Jackman pointed towards the French side's "horrendous" away record.

"This season Toulouse have been horrendous away from home. They've only won three away games this season against Zebre, Saracens and Connacht. But they haven't won away from home in the Top 14. The thing about Toulouse is that they have massive history along with Munster in the Heineken Cup. It's two heavyweights going to clash. They have the players to beat Munster but I think Munster will beat Toulouse and Toulouse are a team under pressure and struggling for form."  

The lads also touched on Connacht as well as Ulster's "quality" and the progress made since the 2012 Heineken Cup final in terms of "shrewd signings".

They also disagreed over Jackman's belief that Ruan Pienaar is the best scrum-half in the world and looked at Ireland's myriad of options on the wing ahead of the Six Nations.

And there was also a word on Munster's James Coughlan who remains unlucky to have been uncapped for his country.
