La Rochelle narrowly loses to Leinster in the Champions Cup

Uini Atonio and Reda Wardi were wounded

Too quickly deprived of its two titular pillars, Uini Antonio (33rd) and Reda Wardi (39th), respectively affected in the calf and the ribs, La Rochelle never gave up. But a ball snatched in a maul there, a forward on an aerial ball there, did not allow him to destabilize the beautiful Irish machine. And on the contrary, it was Jordi Barrett’s partners, more precise, more disciplined, who hit the nail on the head thanks to the boot of Prendergast (50th, 55th).
