Ultan Dillane has won the European Champions Cup final.

He’s become the first Kerryman to do so thanks to a 27-26 win for La Rochelle over Leinster.

Leinster let a 17-nil lead slip as the holders pulled off the biggest comeback in the fixture's history to retain the title in Dublin.

Dillane, a 66th minute sub yesterday, is the first Kerryman to play in the decider since Mick Galwey.
