Quins face Montpellier in Friday's Challenge Cup decider in Lyon in what will be Conor O'Shea's final game in charge of the London club. The Irishman will be determined to sign off with a trophy before becoming head coach of Italy.

The teams met in this season's Challenge Cup pool stages with the home team running out resounding victors on both occasions but a much closer contest is expected at Grand Stade de Lyon.

Diprose looks ahead to Saturday's Champions Cup final as his former side Saracens attempt to lift the trophy for the first time. He compares fly-halves Dan Carter and Owen Farrell and gives his reasons for predicting an English double on French soil.

Diprose also reflects on the tragic death of his 'star pupil' Seb Adeniran-Olule, who died following a road accident.
