Leinster secured their place in the final with an emphatic 40-17 victory over reigning champions Toulouse, but the win came at a price. James Lowe and Tadhg Furlong have both won their races against time to recover from the ankle and shin injuries they picked up in the last round against Toulouse. Furlong's passing prowess is a key weapon that Leo Cullen will want to use to drag La Rochelle around the pitch.
Disruption will be the aim of the game for Ronan O'Gara, with La Rochelle's colossal forwards Emmanuel Meafou and Rory Arnold hoping for as many opportunities as possible in which to physically dominate their opponents from set pieces. They beat Leinster at the semi-final stage a year ago, but Grégory Alldritt will know that that will only spur the Irish province on to greater resolve.
The stage is set, so follow our guide as we explain all the ways to get a Leinster vs La Rochelle live stream wherever you are right now.

How to watch Leinster vs La Rochelle from outside your country
If you're abroad this weekend and try to access your usual domestic stream of the rugby, you'll find that you can't. This is because of something called geo-blocking, which restricts content to a specific area or country.
You can get around this by using a VPN, which allows you to virtually relocate your laptop, phone or streaming device back to your country of residence - thereby regaining access to all the streaming services and content you normally enjoy at home.
