Match report
Here’s Rob Kitson’s match report from Cardiff. A fitting tribute to a brilliant game of rugby. Sometimes this sport is a slog. But sometimes it’s a joy. This was a fitting final. Saints played their part but the right team won it in the end.
A wonderful occasion captured by some wonderful words.
Thanks for keeping me company. Hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.
Bordeaux scored 217 points in the pool phase to secure top seeds. They then comfortably beat Ulster, Munster and Toulouse.
In fact, this was their lowest scoring game across the competition.
“Cardiff look out,” says Adam Coleman in some post match chat. They’re staying the night. I wonder how many of them will actually get some sleep.
