Rabah Slimani, prop for Leinster, reveals that the Irish haven't forgotten their losses in Champions Cup finals. Stick with us as we explore how this collective memory influences their preparation for the upcoming final.
At 36 years old, Slimani, who is signing with Toulon for next season, has had a great run at Leinster with 36 matches under his belt. After rejoining the French national team in New Zealand, he's focused on the Champions Cup final against UBB in Bilbao. Despite their participation in the URC, Slimani emphasizes that the players keep their recent defeats against French clubs in mind. For them, the semi-final against Toulon is just a step towards a bigger goal: winning this final.
He notes that Leinster has the resources to manage their squad, juggling between the URC and the Champions Cup. The experience of past defeats, like the one against ASM, remains etched in their minds, but they prioritize victory over those painful memories. The Irish are therefore preparing with renewed determination, ready to claim their second star.
