British and Irish Lions

The France fly-half's contract at Toulouse expires at the end of this season.

And the 24-year-old, who is currently out of action with a knee injury, appears keen to make the switch from the Top 14 to the Super 14.

"I really hope to go there," Michalak, who is in Durban at the moment, told L'Equipe.

"But at the moment, I haven't signed anything. I still haven't seen a contract."

Michalak, who hopes to return from injury so he can compete at the World Cup with Les Bleus later this year, also revealed Toulouse have made efforts to keep him in France.

"I have met president (Rene) Bouscatel, who has made an offer. I must think about it," he added.

The injury-prone Michalak has played 42 times for France.

Having become only the ninth Welshman to pick up a Heineken Cup winners medal, Gethin Jenkins is now getting ready for his next challenge - holding on to his British & Irish Lions Test spot.

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.

Tom Youngs has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of the British & Irish game but he won't be resting on his laurels ahead of his first Lions adventure.
