For the second time this season, a Maxime Médard try was deserving of the accolade of Champions Try of the Round, winning the approval of both the public vote and Matthieu Lartot, of France Télévisions. Médard’s effort in the home win against Leinster Rugby took the Round 2 honours in October and his score in the thrilling away win over Racing 92 in the quarter-finals not only helped to set up a repeat meeting with the holders but also pipped Adam Byrne (Leinster), Keith Earls (second try for Munster Rugby), Ali Price (Glasgow Warriors) and Teddy Thomas (Racing 92) to recognition as the best from a stunning weekend in the Heineken Champions Cup. “Maxime Médard’s try is the embodiment of total rugby,” enthused Lartot. “With speed (in the transformation of the game), accuracy (in decision-making and passes), talent and inspiration with the ‘magician’s hat’ of [Lucas] Tauzin and intelligence in the runs of [Sofiane] Guitoune and Médard: it approaches perfection.” Remember to vote for the Champions Try of the Round after the semi-final stage.
