The Heineken Champions Cup Final is set and it looks familiar.

The finalists from 2022 will return to the Heineken Champions Cup as Leinster, winners of Pool A and the runner-up a year ago, will face La Rochelle, the reigning European champion, in one of rugbys biggest matches of the year.

Leinster, who defeated Toulouse 41-22 to advance to the final on April 29, will have an advantage in the match as Aviva Stadium in Dublin is the host site for the European Challenge Cup and the Heineken Cup this year.

Leinster Rugby is seeking its fifth European championship that would tie Toulouse for the most all-time, while La Rochelle is trying to become the first back-to-back champion since Saracens in 2016 and 2017.
