Bordeaux prop Ben Tameifuna, speaking to Premier Sports: "It is relief. It has been a hard few weeks.

"This is one of the few times that I was nervous in my career. Back-to-back is special.

"We just had to stick together.

"What an arena and place to play. Thank you for everyone who made the trip.

"It is going to be a rough couple of days."

The conductor in chief Maxime Lucu is encouraging the crowd to get up on their feet and make as much noise as possible. It's been an absolute masterclass from Bordeaux today.

Bordeaux head coach Yannick Bru is taking it all in. He is loving every moment.

Ciaran Frawley may well be Leinster starting fly-half for the United Rugby Championship knockouts. Great piece of skill to get the ball back.

Stunning steal from Yoram Moefana to intercept the ball as Leinster look close to scoring.

It had to be Maxime Lucu for player of the match. He's had a brilliant season up until this point. He is their leader and and he is the man of the match.

Maxime Lucu has just been named player of the match and that was celebrated like a try by the Bordeaux supporters.

They've been as superb as their team today.

Max Deegan charges up the middle of the pitch.

Replacement Luke McGrath fumbles it at the back of a ruck. Maxime Lucu is named player of the match.

Cheap shot. Ugo Boniface runs in and hits James Ryan off the ball.

It's almost for dignity on the scoreboard now.

Bordeaux go to the corner from a penalty.

We had pegged Leinster as underdogs but not as huge as this. Apart from that early burst, they've been absolutely dominated by Bordeaux.

Another Leinster penalty. Surely a third try is coming.

Ciaran Frawley's cross-field kick is unable to find Rieko Ioane. The game is won and Bordeaux refuse to relax in defence.
