Josh van der Flier was up for media duty, earlier in the week, and spoke of how the squad want to get that Champions Cup trophy for injured captain Johnny Sexton and departing players."Johnny has made this club the success it has been over the last number of years that he’s been involved," he said.
'There's a number of players all throughout the squad,' he continued. 'Looking at the likes of Dave Kearney, he’s been there for so many of the great days with Leinster. James Tracy, who unfortunately had to retire earlier in the season, they all motivate you, you want to do it for them because they are part of that Leinster family."La Rochelle head coach Ronan O'Gara, meanwhile, is expecting Leinster to come roaring back after their URC semi-final defeat to Munster.
"It will be a completely different team, this weekend. We're expecting the best version of Leinster and the best version of them is a formidable task. We know how difficult it is going to be, but we want to test ourselves against the best."
