Champions Cup Final Combined XV: Leinster v Racing 92

The European Champions Cup final is approaching, with Leinster set to take on Racing 92 in Bilbao in an eagerly anticipated match-up.

Both teams have been in top form throughout the tournament and convincingly reached the final, which will take place this Saturday.

Leinster are the slight favourites heading into the game and are probably in a better run of form than their French opponents, after beating the defending champions Saracens in the quarter-final.

They then convincingly defeated the Scarlets in the semi-final and will be full of confidence going into Saturday’s decisive match.

As for Racing 92, they edged past Munster in the semi-final. After making a very fast start, they were pegged back as Munster piled on the pressure towards the end. However, the French side showed grit, determination and strength to win the game and book a date in the final.

Both sides have world class players and we’ve selected our combined Leinster and Racing 92 XV, only selecting players who are available for the final.
