La Rochelle captain Gregory Alldritt says his side had to show "character" and "determination" to win the Champions Cup. The French side beat Rochelais 27-26 in the final at the Stade de Reims on Sunday.

"We need to return to La Rochelle, to see our Old Port full to bursting with Rochelais to realize a second time what we have just done," says AllDritt. "It was an incredible game, we showed a lot of character and to win that way is just huge," he adds.
