Shane Horgan, Matt Williams and Gerry Thornley preview a massive game in the careers of a new generation of Irish players. The time is now for Leinster to add a trophy to the popular acclaim coming their way, says Shane Horgan, while Mattie and Gerry have differing views on the challenge they face in Racing 92.
Is James Lowe the greatest vibes man in the history of rugby, and can he cut out the defensive errors in the final? Does Leo Cullen deserve some of the Stuart Lancaster praise? Are Racing a team of individuals, or are we underestimating their coaching team? And will the world’s greatest ever outhalf, Dan Carter, add the one trophy missing from his C.V?
