Rónan Kelleher didn’t watch all of last Saturday’s Champions Cup final between Bordeaux-Begles and Northampton Saints. The bit he did take in was more than enough to stir understandable pangs of regret.

“You naturally are thinking when you’re watching it, ‘it could have been us’, but this year wasn’t to be. Nothing we can do about it now, just focus on something that we can control, which is [the URC] and we’ll focus on next year, next year.”
