Tigers supporters have already begun making the journey to the south of France for Sunday’s crunch clash at the Stade Felix Mayol (kick-off 5.30pm local time/4.30pm UK time).
Supporters are flying out of a number of UK airports including Luton, Stansted and Gatwick into Marseille, Nice and Toulon itself.
Others are making the trip by car and by train, including the Away Supporters Club who are due to leave Welford Road in the early hours of Saturday morning for a Eurostar crossing.
The two teams are due to be named at lunch time on Friday with the Tigers squad set to include the likes of Dan Cole, Manu Tuilagi and Ben Youngs who starred in the Six Nations Championship. The Toulon team, meanwhile, is likely to be peppered with some of the biggest names in world rugby including Jonny Wilkinson, Matt Giteau and Bakkies Botha.
It is the first time that the two sides have met in a competitive fixture with a place in the last four of European rugby’s premier club competition at stake. Tigers will run out at the 15,000-capacity Stade Felix Mayol in their black and carbon European kit.
The current weather forecast for Toulon on Saturday is for the chance of the odd shower with maximum daytime temperatures of 15C and minimum night-time temperatures of 8C. By matchday on Sunday, the weather is due to be sunny with temperatures of around 15C at kick-off.
The game is live on Sky Sports 2 and BBC Radio Leicester will have live on commentary on 104.9FM, DAB and online (UK only). There will also be live coverage on BBC 5Live Sports Extra.
The game will be shown in Final Whistle at Welford Road. Admission to Final Whistle is free, and the bar will be open.
The city of Toulon is providing a Supporters Village in the Place Besange close to the stadium to bring fans of both clubs together to enjoy the best of the weekend's European action.
The Rugby Club Toulonnais Village will be open from 11am until midnight on the Saturday, with food and drink, children's activities and live music, as well as big-screen coverage of the other Heineken Cup fixtures - ASM Clermont Auvergne versus Montpellier and Saracens versus Ulster.
The whole party starts again at 10am on the Sunday, with more games and activities, music, food and drink stalls, and the Harlequins versus Munster quarter-final on the big screen before attention switches to the Toulon versus Tigers match. The Village will be open until 10pm.
We will be keeping you up-to-date with all of the build-up, the action and the reaction from Toulon on the Tigers club website, on the @LeicesterTigers Twitter pages, and on the Official Leicester Tigers Facebook pages. Join us now on Twitter or like us on Facebook to join in the banter with fellow Tigers fans.
If you are part of the army of Tigers fans travelling to Toulon - or if you are gathering with friends closer to home to watch TV coverage and you're wearing your Tigers colours - we want to hear from you. Email your photos to [email protected] and we will use as many as possible in our Digital Diary, which we will be updating during the weekend, and in the matchday programme for our home game against London Wasps on Sunday, April 14 (3.45pm).
