To win a second star, La Rochelle had to show "character" and "determination", according to its captain Gregory Alldritt after the final of the Champions Cup (27-26).
"It was an incredible game, we showed a lot of character and to win that way is just huge. Honestly, there, 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. I am sure we do not realize what we have done. It's a huge thing."
At what point do you understand that you are going to win?
"There are several. Especially the toss. Already, I think they have not respected us. They didn't look me in the eye and shake my hand. This is something that should not be done to us. We have a lot of values in this club and respect is part of it."
