Brian O'Driscoll: 'La Rochelle won all the micro-battles'

Brian O'Driscoll: 'It just felt like an incredibly well-organised performance defensively from La Rochelle'

Leinster legend Brian O’Driscoll pinpointed La Rochelle’s great physicality as the decisive factor in their Heineken Champions Cup semi-final win over the province.

The French side secured their place in the final for the first time with a 32-23 victory over Leo Cullen’s men and former Leinster captain O’Driscoll had few complaints about the outcome.
