European Champions Cup: Team of the tournament

The European Champions Cup came to an end on Saturday night as Leinster were crowned champions after a tense victory over Racing 92 in Bilbao.

The win means that Leinster have won the tournament four times in their history, equalling the record held by Toulouse.

The match was very close, with either side not scoring a single try throughout the game. Penalties are what decided the game with a last-gasp kick from Leinster securing the victory.

It was a hard-fought battle between Europe’s best sides for eight months and finally, after a long six-year wait, the trophy is back in Irish hands.

Several players performed incredibly over the course of the tournament and have earned heaps of praise, whilst others have cowered under the pressure and disappeared.

After some careful consideration, we have compiled a team of the tournament XV.

Take a look and see what you think!
