Yannick Bru reveals his team lineup for the Champions Cup final against Leinster, and it comes with a few surprises. Stay with us, as we unveil the strategic choices that could influence the outcome of this clash.
The Unionistes are fielding their usual half-back pairing: Maxime Lucu and Matthieu Jalibert, with Yoram Moefana and Damian Penaud in the center. Salesi Rayasi replaces Romain Buros at fullback, while Louis Bielle-Biarrey, initially uncertain, will indeed be present on the wing. In the back row, Marko Gazzotti will start at number 8, accompanied by Cameron Woki and Pierre Bochaton. The return of Jefferson Poirot, after his suspension, strengthens the pack. This XV is the same as the one that triumphed over Stade Toulousain in the quarter-finals.
On the Leinster side, Harry Byrne starts at fly-half, supported by Jamison Gibson-Park. Notably, Sam Prendergast and Rabah Slimani are absent, which is a tough blow for the Irish team.
The two teams will clash on Saturday at 3:45 PM in Bilbao, a match that promises to be crucial for the title.
