Picks of the season

Image: Servat: A huge contribution for Toulouse

Toulouse may have been crowned kings of Europe but did they make Will's team of the season?

Who impressed Will in the Heineken Cup?

After a thrilling tournament Toulouse made history by winning the Heineken Cup for the fourth time while Biarritz were once again left wondering what could have been. We have seen it all this tournament - 16 men of the pitch, missed drop goals that broke a clubs heart and who will forget the masked marvel that was Imanol Harinordoquy? Will Greenwood watched every moment of the action and picks his Heineken Cup picks of the season. Team: Treviso. The Italians gave everyone a rough ride in Pool One that included Munster, Northampton and Perpignan. They stunned Perpignan in the first round with a 9-8 win and pushed the Saints close on both occasions. Ultimately they were let down by a lack of concentration at crucial moments and their lack of regular strong opponents showed in the latter half of the games where they started to miss a few tackles. However they played some good rugby and definitely played their part in a highly entertaining competition. Player of tournament: Toulouse hooker William Servat was in absolutely formidable form and left a trail of world class reputations in his wake. He just seems to get better with age and will be a huge bonus for France if they can keep him fir for the World Cup. Try of tournament: Paul Warwick. Northampton had felt they had let Munster off the hook the last time they were hosted at Thomond Park, but with a semi-final place up for grabs, Munster were in no mood to be generous this time again. They set down their marker as early as the fourth minute as Paul Warwick glided over for a beautiful try. The pack set the scene with some solid drives before the ball went wide to Keith Earls who stood up the Saints defence with a clever inside step. The move gave Warwick an inch more space and he beat the desperate cover tackle to score. Moment of the tournament: The scrum is what Toulouse built their fourth title on and they have certainly brought the scrummaging back into fashion! Every time they packed down you could feel the expectation from their fans. As a unit they were unmovable and as individuals unstoppable. Villain: Brock James: Some players dream of that moment where one play will define their playing career. Unfortunately for Brock James his one play will be remembered as a nightmare. His inability to seize the moment and land the drop goal against Leinster in the semi-finals denied Clermont glory as i believe they would have won tournament if drop goal gone over.
