La Rochelle start the second half well and come back on the heels of Leinster… Follow the final

It’s a finale in the form of a remake. For the second consecutive year, La Rochelle and Leinster meet in the Champions Cup final on Saturday May 20 in Dublin (live at 5:45 p.m. on France 2 and france.tv).

Last year, Stade Rochelais overthrew Leinster (24-21) at the last minute to lift the first trophy in its history, at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille. After eliminating Saracens in the quarter (24-10) and Exeter in the semi-final (47-28), Ronan O’Gara’s team is moving this time to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, in the lair of Leinster , to keep his crown.

Fallen Stade Toulousain in the semi-finals (41-22), the Irish, four times winners of the competition, can take their revenge on the Rochelais, they who have not lifted the trophy since their victory against Racing 92 in 2018 A new coronation would bring them up to the level of Toulouse, record holder of victories with five titles.
