Ronan O'Gara dedicated La Rochelle's Heineken Champions Cup victory over Leinster to his mother, who wasn't well enough to attend today's game.
"That was Irish spirit with French guts," O'Gara told French TV. "What a team, what pride I feel for the club.
"I am very emotional as my mum is not well and she was unable to be here. This is for her."
