Former Ireland head coach Eddie O'Sullivan believes "it's hard to look past Toulon and Clermont" when it comes to the identity of this year's Champions Cup winner.
If Leinster beat Bath in their home quarter-final, they are likely to collide with reigning European champions Toulon away from home in the last-four and given the depth of their squad, Eddie thinks it is a daunting task.
Speaking on Off The Ball alongside Alan Quinlan on Monday Night Rugby, Eddie said: "You'd have to worry. It's hard to see past [Toulon and Clermont] meeting again. It's knockout rugby from now on so you need just one good day out to catch one of them. But they'll certainly be the favourites when it comes to the bookies."
Quinlan believes home advantage will play a major role for teams as Toulon appear invulnerable on their own patch.
Looking back at Leinster's final match of the pool against Wasps, which ended in a draw, O'Sullivan described Matt O'Connor's side as "outstanding" in the first half.
He was also shocked that Wasps' Ashley Johnson avoided a red card after a tackle which left Dave Kearney with a shoulder injury, while Quinlan reckons Leinster should have been out of sight by half-time.
The former Munster back row also thinks that there is good news for Leinster in terms of returning players, but also highlighted bad news which comes in a different shape.
As for his own province, he believes Munster need a "world class midfield player" and a Super Rugby standard signing in the team.
