LONDON: The European Champions Cup has the heavyweight final it deserves on Saturday with Leinster and Saracens, the two most dominant clubs in the region with teams who would be a match for most countries in the World Cup, going head-to-head.
They have won all eight of their Champions Cup matches this season. Only two teams have done that and lifted the trophy - Saracens in 2016 and Leinster last season. Tadhg Furlong and Mako Vunipola are probably the most important props for Ireland and England respectively while the incredibly athletic James Ryan and Maro Itoje could claim the same at lock.
"But we are pretty confident. To hold a free-scoring Toulouse as we did shows what form we are in and we beat Bath and Wasps well so we are confident about our ability to run up in the big games."
