Round-up: Wobbling Wasps can bounce back in cup, says Dallaglio

Dallaglio said: "We've got a point to prove, and to do that we must put in our best performance of the season so far. Typically, French teams don't travel well, but Toulouse are different to other French teams - they're the best French team." Jon Dawson replaces Peter Bracken at prop, but Martin Purdy is out with a fractured arm. Toulouse have rested Yannick Jauzion, so the Wales captain, Gareth Thomas, moves to centre, Vincent Clerc comes in on the wing and Frédéric Michalak also returns.

The Australian rugby league import Paul Franze will team up in midfield with Mike Catt for London Irish in Pool Two against Parma at the Madejski Stadium.
