Kelleher Wants Toulouse To Focus

Toulouse scrum half Byron Kelleher has urged his teammates to raise their intensity levels as they face Irish giants Leinster in the next round of the Heineken Cup.

The French side are favourites for the competition after crushing Stade Francais 42-16 in the quarter-final stages, with Betdaq(Go to Betdaq ») offering odds of 153/100 on them lifting the trophy.

But they must first negotiate a semi-final encounter with the defending champions and Paddy Power(Go to Paddy Power ») have the side at 2/5 to emerge victorious, while Kelleher knows they have to step it up.

"Seeing the level of rugby this weekend means our performance will not be sufficient to win the next game," he added.

Kelleher remarked that the "knockout stages are all about taking your chances" and they may only "get one or two opportunities".

Toulouse have lifted the trophy on three occasions previously and the New Zealander hopes that on May 1st, they will make the right decisions to put them in contention for a fourth.
