La Rochelle received a boost ahead of their maiden Heineken Champions Cup final against Toulouse at Twickenham on Saturday when Ronan O’Gara’s side were able to name powerhouse centre Levani Botia in their starting line-up.

Botia had been an injury doubt at the start of the week with head coach O’Gara declaring on Tuesday that the Fijian midfielder nicknamed “Demolition Man” was touch and go to make the team.
