Hastoy gets the match underway for La Rochelle, taken uo by Doris

In a repeat of the last two finals, back to back defending champions La Rochelle host Leinster in the opening round of the Champions Cup. La Rochelle has won just four of their nine Top 14 matches to languish in ninth position, while Leinster has recorded six victories from seven games in the URC to currently top the competition.

Agree, Leinster can't seem to find a way to beat this team .

Can't see how Leinster are favourites. 3 successive defeats and this one in their fortress

Payback time
