Poirot's side finished second in the league table at the end of the regular season, having claimed their maiden major crown by powering past Northampton on May 24.
They head to a sold-out Groupama Stadium in Lyon to face four-time French champions Toulon, who hammered Castres 52-23 in last weekend’s playoff.

“It would be very dangerous to think that because we have the Champions Cup, we’re owed something in the league.
