Former New Zealand and La Rochelle back-rower Victor Vito said the French club have the 'blueprint' to defend the Champions Cup when they play Leinster in the final on Saturday.
PARIS - Former New Zealand and La Rochelle back-rower Victor Vito said the French club have the "blueprint" to defend the Champions Cup when they play Leinster in the final on Saturday.
He chose against accepting offers to continue playing after leaving La Rochelle to spend time with his family. "Will's a massive character, people talk about his size but rugby-wise he's got a good brain, he knows the game and the opposition really well. "Tawera is also really important, he's one of the best nines in the world, helping to direct La Rochelle’s play," Vito said.
