About the match
Bilbao gets the showpiece for the second time and the build hinges on whether either French challenger crashes the Leinster–Bath axis the form table is hinting at. Leinster have lost two finals on the bounce and the squad mood around it is well-documented; if they're here, the pressure is suffocating. Bordeaux's attack — Bielle-Biarrey, Penaud, Jalibert when fit — is the most watchable thing in Europe, but their lineout creaks against elite jackal pressure. Bath's set-piece and Russell at 10 make them dangerous on a dry track. San Mamés holds 53k and the kick-off is mid-afternoon Spanish heat. Tries are coming.
