The essential
Winner of the 100% French semi-final against Racing 92 (13-20), Stade Rochelais faces this Saturday afternoon, at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, Leinster, who easily defeated defending champion Toulouse in halves (40-17).
Quadruple winner of the competition (2009, 2011, 2012, 2018) and finalist in 2019, Leinster and its impressive season start, a priori, favorite against more novice Rochelais, but who will be keen to erase the disappointment of their two first finals lost, in the Champions Cup (2021) and in the European Challenge (2019).
La Rochelle will be able to count on the returns of their giant second line Will Skelton and their French international back Brice Dulin, who were absent in the semi-finals.
