    Nathan Bollengier (con: Jurd)

    A kick ahead is spilled by Charlie Titcombe, right into the path of Nathan Bollengier, who races in unopposed.

  2. try

    Try - La Rochelle 32-13 Leicester

    UJ Seuteni

    Sublime stuff from the hosts, as a kick from Nolhann Couillaud bounces up nicely and allows UJ Seutini to collect and flop down in the in-goal area.

  3. converted try

    Converted try: Leinster 45-21 Harlequins

    Jimmy O'Brien (try); Harry Byrne (conv)

    Leinster are beginning to pull clear now with another try, this time for Jimmy O’Brien. Relentless pressure from the hosts sees the ball worked wide, with Rieko Ioane showing great awareness to selflessly ship it on for O’Brien to finish in the corner. Harry Byrne adds another excellent conversion.

  4. Replacement

    Rieko Ioane

    Rieko Ioane is on for his Leinster debut to a huge welcome from the Aviva crowd, with Garry Ringrose the man who makes way.

  5. La Rochelle 27-13 Leicester

    Ollie Hassell-Collins gets close to the line on the left, but young Diego Jurd gets over the ball to win it back and clear the danger.

  6. La Rochelle 27-13 Leicester

    It's a good tussle as both sides, much changed with replacements and a HIA for Leicester's Manz, go at each other regardless.

    A score soon for the Tigers would make this very interesting.

  7. try

    Try: Leinster 38-21 Harlequins

    Jack Conan (try); Harry Byrne (conv)

    Leinster strike again, this time through Jack Conan. Another sustained spell of pressure brings the hosts to within inches of the Harlequins line and the powerful back row forward muscles his way over from close range. Harry Byrne is again accurate from the tee with the conversion.

  8. converted try

    Converted try: Leinster 31-21 Harlequins

    Tommy O'Brien (try); Harry Byrne (conv)

    Superb try for Leinster. With penalty advantage, the hosts move it wide to Tommy O’Brien, who looks out of space but shows great invention with a clever grubber ahead, regathering to dot down in the corner. Harry Byrne slots a fine touchline conversion.

  9. La Rochelle 27-13 Leicester

    Opportunity missed for the Tigers as they wate a lineout chance 10 metres out - the throw was not straight, and the home side get a scrum which they dominate as they have done all night until Leicester transgress.

    Ihaia West clears a penalty kick towards halfway.

  10. Sin-bin

    Jarrod Evans

    Leinster kick a penalty into touch deep inside the Harlequins 22 in what feels like another pivotal moment. Quins dig in to resist the maul with ferocious defence, but repeated pressure at the line forces a penalty and a yellow card for Jarrod Evans.

  11. La Rochelle 27-13 Leicester

    This young Leicester side lack nothing in spirit, and they move through the gears and into the 22, until a knock-on ends it all just in front of the posts.

    And there's a huge roar as the enormous Uini Atonio rumbles on for the hosts, who are emptying the bench.

  12. Sin-bin

    Jimmy O'Brien (52 mins)

    Jimmy O’Brien is shown a yellow card for a deliberate knock-on and Leinster are reduced to 14 men for the next 10 minutes.

  13. Penalty - La Rochelle 27-13

    Ihaia West

    Leicester, who will get Will Hurd back now, transgress and Ihaia West lands the penalty to go over 1,000 points for La Rochelle.

  14. converted try

    Penalty try

    Leinster 24-21 Harlequins

    Leinster’s indiscipline proves costly as Harlequins are awarded a penalty try after a sustained spell of pressure. A series of offsides culminates in a deliberate knock-on from Jimmy O’Brien, judged to have denied a clear try-scoring opportunity. O’Brien is sent to the sin-bin for 10 minutes and suddenly it really is game on in Dublin.

  15. La Rochelle 24-13 Leicester

    It's a brutal spell of pressure as the hosts drag the 14-man Tigers from left to right and back again, and it ends with Charlie Clare leaving the fray after a knock to the head that leaves him trudge off groggily..

  16. Leinster 24-14 Harlequins

    Harlequins now have a strong territorial foothold. They take a five-metre line-out, rumble forward and begin to hammer away at the Leinster line. Can they capitalise?

    Jimmy O'Brien cuts the ball out but referee Craig Evans is looking at whether it is a deliberate knock-on...

  17. Leinster 24-14 Harlequins

    Harlequins are growing into the game. Tom Lawday produces outstanding work at the breakdown to poach the ball and win a penalty. Quins kick to touch and now have a line-out in Leinster territory as they look to turn pressure into points.

  18. Sin-bin

    Prop Will Hurd was sent to the bin for collapsing the maul in that move as well.

    Leicester are really up against it now.

  19. Leinster 24-14 Harlequins

    Harlequins do well to soak up early Leinster pressure after the restart. The hosts build a strong attacking passage but inaccuracy costs them, with the pace of Jamison Gibson-Park’s pass unsettling his own support and bringing a reprieve for Quins. The visitors clear their lines and weather the storm for now, but for how long?

  20. converted try

    Converted try - La Rochelle 24-13 Leicester

    Oscar Jegou (con: West)

    Flanker Oscar Jegou powers over the line from a lineout, but he gets by with a little help from his friend, the not so little Levani Botia, who propels his fellow back rower over the whitewash..
