TWO-TIME winner Lawrence Dallaglio reckons it's time for Premiership clubs to finally rain on the parade of the Champions Cup giants.
Dallaglio lifted the trophy with Wasps, in 2004 and 2007, before Saracens ruled Europe three times between 2016 and 2019. Exeter kept the run going to win in 2020, but since then the Premiership has drawn a blank.
Antoine Dupont's Toulouse and La Rochelle have won the last four finals between them, with Irish giants Leinster losing the last three showpieces.
The Premiership clubs are handcuffed by the £6.4million salary cap, compared to the mega euros on offer in France and Ireland.
