It's all come down to this - the European Rugby Champions Cup final will see Ireland's Leinster Rugby take on the French Racing 92 this Saturday May 12 in a final that could make the Irish club champions for a record-equalling fourth time. And you can live stream all the action...for FREE!
After being defeated in the final in 2016 by Saracens, Racing 92 will be keen to take the trophy home this year. This would make them the fourth French club to win the European club game's blue riband tournament, and the first in the club's history.
And this season's European Cup final has a bit of an Iberian twist - this is the first time it has been held outside of the usual European territories, heading to Bilbao in Northern Spain.
It hasn't been since the 2010-11 European Cup pool stages when the teams last faced off - Leinster Rugby beat Racing 92 in two successive games. Key players to looks out for include Leinster Rugby forward, Scott Fardy who is having an impressive debut campaign, and forward Leone Nakarawa for Racing 92 with an awesome set of stats this season. Johnny Sexton, Leinster and Ireland fly-half, with his creative play and indomitable kicking game.
