La Rochelle in Irish hell
The match will be played at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, to a sold-out crowd. Maritimers know what to expect.

We meet once again
Leinster-La Rochelle, the new classic of continental meetings. The Maritimes and the Irish province face each other for the fifth time in four years with a place in the last four in their sights. This match is above all a remake of the last two finals of the competition. It smells like powder.
