Like last year, three French teams will play in the semi-finals of the Champions Cup. Already present last season, Stade Toulousain (defending champion) and La Rochelle have done it again. The two teams were joined this Sunday by Racing 92, winner of the English of Sale (41-22).
The Ile-de-France club “will receive” Les Rochelais in Lens, who fell on Saturday from Montpellier (31-19) in the quarter-finals. The match will take place on Sunday May 15 at the Bollaert stadium because the Paris La Défense Arena is occupied by the group Sexion d’Assaut for a concert.
Toulouse back in Dublin
In the other semi-final, Toulouse will travel to Dublin on Saturday against Leinster, a week after dominating the other major Irish province of Munster in the same stadium, after a crazy match and a incongruous penalty shootout (4-2; 24-24 after extra time).
The final is scheduled for May 28 in Marseille. A remake of the 2021 edition, won by Stade Toulousain against La Rochelle at Twickenham (22-17), remains possible.
