It was a crazy scene, with hearts beating at 100 mph and a title at its end. Stade Rochelais, the European champion at Marseille’s Stade Velodrome, won Leinster (21-24) thanks to Retiere’s last-minute attempt. Amazing and historical.
Sexton targets Thomas Berjon from the beginning, and La Rochelle, at the 2021 semi final, is overwhelmed. She is penalized four times in 7 minutes and led 6-0 for 9 minutes. She finally gets the ball. The Stadium is doing much better. It’s too bad that Liebenberg made a mistake in front of the posts (9-7-20th), but these Yellow and Black are doing a lot (9 to 3 at rest). Two more test opportunities were available (faults of Bourdeau, Priso and 32nd, 38th), and now Sexton is taking them 80 meters further (12-7 at half-time).
West closes immediately to -2 (12-10 and 42nd), but it continues to rain too easily for Jonathan Sexton (18-10 and 54th). Then there’s this bizarre action: Brice Dulin attempts a distant drop on the bar, and Berjon stamps a big stamp on Sexton! ), where Priso scratches and where Bourgarit ends a school maul (18-17, 62e). Will the wheel turn? Lavault doesn’t help him, guilty in a tripping so so useless on Gibson-Park, yellow and 21-17, 66th The Maritimes are 14th, but they are taking the initiative. In the Irish, 22m are close to breaking. Retiere scores the latter crack (21-24, 80th). La Rochelle is the European champion.
