If Saracens rugby wants to capture their fourth Heineken Cup championship, the Northern English rugby power needs to beat reigning Heineken Cup champion La Rochelle.

The defending champions were nearly the victims of what would have been a historical upset when La Rochelle rallied late to beat Gloucester, 29-26. Meanwhile, Saracens beat the Ospreys 35-20. 

Saracens now travel to France to play La Rochelle at 10 a.m. EST at Stade Marcel Deflandre, La Rochelle on April 9.
