Conor O'Shea hails Harlequins after their Heineken Cup win over Toulouse in France yesterday.

Harlequins Director of Rugby Conor O'Shea has hailed his team after they sealed a Heineken Cup win over Toulouse in France yesterday.

Two tries from Mike Brown helped Harlequins to a 31-24 victory, after the French side had romped to a 21-10 win at the Twickenham Stoop the week before.

"Right now this feels like we've won a cup final but it's a pool game and we have to make sure we keep learning," O'Shea told Press Association Sport.

"The resolve the players showed was incredible. We have a good record away from home but we knew coming here we were going to have to ride our luck at times in the face of wave after wave of pressure.

"They missed a couple of kicks but we had the ambition to play and everyone involved with Harlequins must be very proud of the effort of the players."

The Aviva Premiership leaders are currently second in Pool 6 of the European competition.
