Champions Cup final: Leinster player ratings

Leinster fell to a surprising defeat in the Champions Cup final to La Rochelle. However, they will have no complaints about the result.

They were outscored three tries to none as Ronan O'Gara's men again came back to haunt the favourites, winning 24-21 with a late try.

Here's how we rated the Leinster men.

Hugo Keenan - 7

Barely put a foot wrong all season and but, like the rest of his team-mates didn't find his best performance on the night. Couple of costly mistakes cost his side possession in the wrong areas of the field

Jimmy O’Brien - 7

Started off brilliantly, involved in Leinster’s best attacking moments but faded out as La Rochelle got a grip on the game and at times struggled to contain the lively Raymond Rhule.

Garry Ringrose - 7

Solid outing in midfield without showing that cutting edge he’s capable off with ball in hand. Still featured in the top five Leinster players in tackles and metres made.

Robbie Henshaw - 8

One of Leinster’s better performers, he tackled well and looked a threat in attack. Carried eight times for 64 metres. Could do little more than he did as the tide turned.

James Lowe - 6

Proved he was fit with his trademark kicks and was solid in defence and under the high ball. Didn’t get the ball in hand in space enough to make his mark.

Johnny Sexton - 6

Kicked six penalties but will be hugely frustrated that an error of judgement allowed Stade to work position from which they scored their second try. Solid in defence but hobbled off injured with the game in the melting pot.

Jamison Gibson-Park - 7

Kicked very well but didn’t get the silver service that his pack normally provides. Chipped in with some important defensive plays. Didn’t make many mistakes but flat like his team.

Andrew Porter - 6

Mixed day at the
