Vincent Merling, president of the club admitted to have "not yet had a minute to realize" the performance that Grégory Alldriit's teammates have managed to achieve. La Rochelle achieved the feat this weekend to retain its title in the Champions Cup by offering Leinster (27-26), in Dublin, at the end of a huge final.
The entrepreneur and businessman congratulated his group of players and now hopes to achieve the double with the Top 14. "Mission impossible does not exist for the Rochelais", cheered the latter.
