The two TOP 14 sides will do battle on May 22 on the hallowed turf of Twickenham in a hotly anticipated clash – La Rochelle searching for their maiden Heineken Champions Cup title, while Toulouse attempt to break records with a fifth European crown.

“I think it is a toss of a coin for me, I’d be hesitant to say one or the other, because both have just been brilliant at the moment,” said Habana during his appearance on last week’s The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast.

“I think seeing how La Rochelle overcame Leinster – in that first 15 minutes you thought Leinster are just going to have too much experience.

“But again, how they - for literally the last 45, 60 minutes - bullied that Leinster team.

“Toulouse had a little bit of a different game. I’m not quite sure what the weather is like for a few weeks’ time over in London.

“But if it is sunny like it was in 2015 then I think we’re on for a great game of rugby - they are two teams that are willing to have a crack at any stage.

“La Rochelle running from their 22, Toulouse with Antoine Dupont and Cheslin Kolbe. I think it's set up for a cracking final, I’m hoping the weather plays its part.”

In addition to spectacle on the field, Twickenham will also welcome 10,000 rugby fans into the venue after COVID-19 restrictions were loosened in the United Kingdom.

“Adding the fans in, that brings an extra element of excitement which I think is going to be absolutely brilliant,” added Habana.
