Champions Cup final: All you need to know

A chance to make history. A chance for revenge.

Whoever comes out on top between Leinster and La Rochelle, it will be one for the history books.

If Leo Cullen's men gain revenge for last season's semi-final defeat it will be a record-equaling fifth Champions Cup title for the province, drawing them level with defending champions Toulouse.

If Ronan O'Gara's side defy the odds and knock the Leinster juggernaut off track, they will join the exclusive club of 12 that have lifted the trophy, for what would be their first major title.

Stade Velodrome in Marseille will finally get to host the final, having had to postpone their party two years in a row due to Covid-19, with the 67,394 adding rugby's biggest club game to its hosting of rugby and soccer World Cups.
