RugbyU: Leinster add to Stade agony with Challenge Cup win

Agence France-PresseMay 17, 2013 19:31
Leinster shrugged off the absence of star centre Brian O'Driscoll to beat Stade Francais 34-13 on Friday to clinch the European Challenge Cup. It was the Irish side's fourth continental title to add to their 2009, 2011 and 2012 European Cup triumphs. For Stade, it was another story of final heartbreak having lost the 2011 Challenge Cup title match as well as suffering the agony of European Cup final losses in 2001 and 2005. Leinster, who scored four tries, also became just the fourth team to complete the European Cup-Challenge Cup double.

New Zealander Mike Delany will not be able to play for Clermont in their European Cup semi-final against Munster this weekend as he is ineligible, competition organisers European Rugby Cup (ERC) said on Tuesday. The fly-half, who won his sole All Blacks cap in 2009, was signed by Clermont as a medical joker earlier this month to replace injured youngster Julien Farnoux. But a spokesman for the Dublin-based ERC said the French Top 14 leaders had not registered the 30-year-old Delany in time.
