'It was incredibly good because we were on the ropes big time.'
FOR THE SECOND year running, Ronan O’Gara and his team will be taking the Heineken Champions Cup back to La Rochelle and for the second year running, they landed the title with an incredible comeback performance.
They dug in. They showed serious resolve and I think we’re worthy champions.” Sitting to O’Gara’s right, La Rochelle captain Grégory Alldritt insisted the group never feared the contest was getting away from them.“But we said before, even if it’s 20-0 after 20 minutes, and it was 17-0, stick to the strategy and believe in what we’ve been training for through the week. That’s what Saz was saying, when we were under the posts after three Leinster tries there were no worries.
“We scored and then Antoine kicked a pressure conversion, which is a belting kick but I think there were still eight minutes leff,” O’Gara added.
