The draw for the 2023/24 Heineken Champions Cup has been completed, with the groups decided at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier today.
North London’s state of the art football stadium will host the Champions Cup Final on the 25th of May, with reigning champions La Rochelle pushing for a third title in a row, and fourth consecutive final appearance in Europe’s pinnacle club rugby competition.
La Rochelle gave URC giants Leinster a fierce taste of Deja vu, after beating the Dubliners in back-to-back Champions Cup Finals. The French side lifted the 2022/23 Champions Cup after their narrow 27-26 triumph, this defeat was even tougher to take for Leinster fans, as they were beaten on their home soil at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.
