La Rochelle and Toulouse are playing the semi-finals of the Champions Cup this weekend, discover the full program.
Place in the last four of the Champions Cup this Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 April with the semi-finals which are on the program. As very often, France is very well represented with two teams. Toulouse, which has had a very good run without having a very big rivalry, will have to roll up its sleeves to beat the province of Leinster, in Ireland. “We are ready to respond. We have improved a lot compared to last year,” said Leinster prop Andrew Porter.
For La Rochelle, reigning European champion, this will be the opportunity to play a third final in three years. A feat already achieved twice by Toulouse between 2003 and 2005 and especially the Toulon of Jonhny Wilkinson from 2013 to 2015 who had won the three finals. For this semi-final, the Rochelais will face the English of Exteter, a team that is still fairly regular in the Cup and in the league (currently 6th in England).
All Champions Cup semi-finals are streamed in full on bein Sports. The Stade Rochelais and Stade Toulousain matches will also be broadcast on FranceTV.
