MAYBE A BLESSING IN DESGUISE

Champions Cup quarter final v La Rochelle never an easy place to go as it’s always a full house and has been for several seasons every home game whether TOP 14 or Euro rugby, Montpellier have only once reached this stage of the competition and that was a few seasons ago where they were beaten by Clermont again away from home. This season the main interest is obviously the Bouclier de Brennus and as they are still leading the TOP 14 Championship by a couple of points, this is the trophy that everyone wants to get their hands on.
