Which French giant do you think will win the first Champions Cup?

It will be Clermont’s second European final, can they finally claim the title?

AFTER ONE HUNDRED and eighty minutes, the Champions Cup weekend ended in crushing disappointment for Irish fans as try poacher extraordinaire Bryan Habana made Ian Madigan his latest victim.

The Springbok’s extra-time try proved to be decisive for the reigning champions who will head to their third final since 2013.

Awaiting them will be the same opponents they defeated to claim their first European Cup that day in Dublin, the familiar faces of Clermont.

One try was also enough for the Massif Central side to come out of a dismal contest against Saracens smelling of roses. But which of the two do you think looks the most likely to lift the first Champions Cup on 2 May?


Poll Results:

This is Clermont's year at last (1604)
Three-in-a-row for Toulon (667)
Couldn't care less (207)

Standout display against Toulon the latest in Murphy’s Leinster repertoire

For one brief moment, every Leinster fan thought they were going to the European Cup final
