Leinster vs La Rochelle: Cullen and O’Gara embrace pressure ahead of final

“Pressure is a funny thing, isn’t it? Everyone is nervous because they want to do their best. It’s such an amazing tournament, isn’t it? There’s a real privilege to be here. I can’t wait to see them play and deliver something close to their best. That’s all we can do. Pressure is a good thing, that’s what we want, we want to be here,” said Cullen.

“I think back to that final in 2013 when we didn’t qualify from the pool stages, so we were playing in the Challenge Cup final and two French teams were in the final that week, Toulon against Clermont. Everyone was asking the question at the time, would we ever be able to beat these French giants?”
