Parisse upbeat despite final defeat

Stade Francais captain Sergio Parisse has tried to look for positives after his side's defeat to Leinster in the European Challenge Cup final.

The French club were comfortably beaten 34-13 in Dublin on Friday to bring a disappointing end to their campaign.

"I hope this defeat and disappointment will help us grow as a team and give us experience for the future," Parisse told Sky Sports News.

Stade Francais scored one try on the night, while Leinster went over four times on their way to lifting the trophy.
