They missed the double-decker bus, the parade at the Old Port, the communion with the players on Sunday. And for good reason. These fanatics had decided to support their team in Dublin… by bus! A very long journey there and back.

Arrived only this Monday in La Rochelle, these faithful were surprised to be welcomed by a nice surprise. Stade Rochelais general manager Robert Mohr was present when the bus arrived with an unexpected reward: the Champions Cup trophy. Delighted, the supporters forgot their fatigue to immortalize the moment by posing with the cup.
