Furlong had to dig deep, like so many Leinster players, in the face of a fierce effort from Racing 92. Leinster trailed for most of the game and yet did what they needed to do in the closing stages to secure a 15-12 win.
Post-match, Furlong told BT Sport:
"This is my first ever European Cup. There's some lads now on four and as a younger player within the squad its nice to have given the pedigree the club have in Europe.
"We've been working up to this for the last two years. We had disappointment in the semi-final last year, and in the semi-final of the PRO12 as well. It's an amazing feeling."Furlong and his teammates definitely enjoyed their victory and were straight on a bus to Bilbao Airport after drinking their dressing room dry of tiny cans of Heineken and San Miguel.
