La Rochelle can breathe. Trailing 13-0 at half-time, the double title holders finally overthrew the Stormers (21-22) this Saturday in the round of 16 of the Champions Cup. The Maritimes achieved a historic success since no French club had yet won since the integration of South African clubs into the European competition two years ago. Penverne (50th) and Alldritt (62nd) each scored a try. At the very end of the match, Hartzenberg scored a try but Libbok missed the conversion to win.
