Leinster v La Rochelle: Champions Cup final – live!

La Rochelle #LaRochelle

Leinster are unchanged from the quarter-final and semi-final, which seems like a testament to their fitness and conditioning – one of the many things they’ve got right this season. Tadhg Furlong and James Lowe both passed fitness tests to make the starting lineup.

For La Rochelle, the No 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow and flanker Victor Vito miss out with injury. Thomas Berjon and Matthias Haddad come in for Kerr-Barlow and Vito, respectively. Australia’s Will Skelton returns in the second row and Brice Dulin comes back in at full-back.

Leinster: Keenan, J. O’Brien, Ringrose, Henshaw, Lowe, Sexton, Gibson-Park, Porter, Kelleher, Furlong, Moloney, Ryan, Doris, Van der Flier, Conan. Replacements: Sheehan, Healy, Ala’alatoa, J. McCarthy, Ruddock, McGrath, R. Byrne, Frawley.

La Rochelle: Dulin, Leyds, Sinzelle, Danty, Rhule, West, Berjon, Priso, Bourgarit, Atonio, Lavault, Skelton, Liebenberg, Haddad, Alldritt. Replacements: Bosch, Wardi, Sclavi, Sazy, Bourdeau, Retiere, Botia, Favre.

Referee: Wayne Barnes (RFU)
