Another year, another now-or-never Champions Cup showdown for Leinster. It really can feel like a case of things appearing to be so much the same the more they should be changing when it comes to their Sisyphean efforts.

Saturday in Bilbao will be their fourth stab at a decider in just five years. It will be their fifth in the eight seasons since they extended their then-impeccable finals record to four wins from four appearances after edging Racing 92 in the Basque Country.
