Leicester Tigers lock Geoff Parling believes that occasions like Sunday's epic Heineken Cup victory against Toulouse are the reason people want to play for the club.
Parling signed a new deal with Tigers last week, despite being offered more money elsewhere, and will now stay at Welford Road beyond the end of the season.
He showed why he is so key to Tigers' success when he stole the ball from a Toulouse line-out on his own five-metre line with just seconds remaining to secure his side's qualification for the quarter-final.
Parling admitted that playing in games like Sunday's was certainly an added factor in his decision to sign his new deal.
"People, myself included, come to Leicester to play in these types of games," said Parling.
"It is a good environment, playing in big games and occasions like this, when you're playing in front of a packed-out Welford Road. You love running out down those steps, it's a brilliant feeling.
"It was a big occasion, a big game, and we've come through and are looking forward to the next test.
"We have got ourselves another opportunity now. We have moved on a level and we've got a chance against Toulon to progress even further.
"That's what we've got to take, that's the next challenge and then we have got to push on from there.
"We don't want to remember this season for a fantastic game against Toulouse but then not going any further."
Tigers' quarter-final in April sees them make the trip to another French giant, big-spending Toulon, who are currently on top of the French Top 14.
"They are a good team, but so are we," said Parling.
"I know we are going away from home but we have a good record in Europe, we are a good team."
Parling played down his game-saving line-out steal in the dying seconds.
"It was just a chance and I managed to knock it down and Deacs (Louis Deacon) dived on it," he said.
"Last week, Ospreys were winning those 50-50 balls whereas (against Toulouse) any slapped down balls from the line-out, any balls on the floor, we seemed to win.
"I thought our hunger to get those balls was outstanding, and that was probably the difference between the two teams."
