| When it comes to hopes of European glory, Tigers centre Daryl Gibson believes the importance of today's penultimate Pool Four match against Cardiff Blues cannot possibly be overestimated.

The All Black centre made his much-awaited comeback in the 24-19 win at Northampton Saints in the Guinness Premiership on Good Friday.
