La Rochelle Powerless and Swept

\n\n

Finalists of the previous edition, the Rochelais surely hoped for better from this semi-final. However, they came up against a team of Leinster in great shape and visibly hungry for victory. Despite their efforts, La Rochelle never really knew how to assert itself and appeared powerless in the face of the Irish surge.

A lost European crown

\n\n

It is therefore a European crown that La Rochelle gives up, after having raised so many hopes in French rugby. The disappointment is great, but it will undoubtedly be the driving force for new ambitions for the future. In the meantime, it's Leinster who parades as the king of Europe.
