La Rochelle, defending champions, will meet the Irish Leinster on May 20 in Dublin, in the final of the Champions Cup. The French club, which will play its third consecutive final in this competition, had beaten the Irish province (24-21) last season in Marseille.

Ronan O'Gara's men equalled a record held by Toulouse (2003, 2004, 2005) and Toulon (2013, 2014, 2015), who were also finalists three times in a row.
